speaking of rightwingers, is falling for a carefully engineered ploy if the ploy, in retrospect, is a little bit too much on the highbrow side, sign of intelligence or of dumbness (yes, I am subtweeting the rightie dox OKUltra krew)?
As intelligence is defined relative to a group’s values and interests, this means that the ploy engineers and their targets have more in common than they’d be comfortable admitting
