If other countries can afford massive internet pysops why can't I find a job in the states where I get to meme and troll all day for the US military?

A) Labour is much cheaper in Russia than the US.

B) What foreign languages do you speak relatively fluently?

C) Do those foreign languages match to countries where elections have consequences AND the US has a vested interest in destabilizing them?

D) If the answer to C was yes, really? Where?

OP thinks you should be scrolling on Indeed and see

Do you enjoy shitposting on the internet all day? Join the CIA and you can get paid to shitpost in our many psychological warfare operations. From attacking leftist causes and amplifying corporate shills in political races, to discrediting climate science and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the Middle East, there is no limit to what you could accomplish with the CIA.

Ahaha, that's great! Only thing missing is a specific list of countries they CIA intends to destabilize.

You can find that list here:

Canada better watch out!

Haha, you'd think so, but this is why my link doesn't paint the full picture: The majority of our reserves up here are in the oil sands which are lot a lot more expensive to extract which makes them considerably less desirable.

Ahaha, I legit laughed pretty hard at that one.

The US is almost certainly doing it too. I don't think they're going to post them on Indeed though.

They are also probably giving the contract to a defense contractor who is turning around and outsourcing it, so there are no US based jobs to troll for the US.

You don't need to look to the military either.

Coca-cola experimented with subliminal advertising to see if they could mind control people into buying their products but for some reason we think they wouldn't stoop to manipulating social media, the Clockwork Orange reprogramming system that we pin our own eyelids open for.

Because they know you'll do it for free. Source: The Picard Maneuver

You need to join the military and go to this school.

I think OSINT, Open-source intelligence, would be more akin to trolling on social media. They're the ones who crawl through Instagram and shit to ID Russian soldiers locations when they post selfies and the likes.

Not for the US military but thatโ€™s literally political advertising. Have you seen what the Lincoln project does?

The military like doesn't do it, but the almost certainly CIA does...

Because thats a important position that is probably obfuscated from the general public

Well they definitely canโ€™t hire you now, this post will have blown your cover

Because NIPRNET sucks to do OSINT.

You don't want to be in the military for anything PSYOPS.

You'd be better off as a contractor.

Not foreign operations. But it's relatively easy to get a us military tech job that is low impact. Application process is 3-6mo long but once you're in your golden.
