>bombarding people in the west with this kind of content is a strategy from China

This is the premise of Arthur C. Clarke's short story, "I Remember Babylon" (which was first published in Playboy in 1960).

If that had really happened, that premise would have explained the sino-soviet split.

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7xo7rtSwwI&t=1615 (warning for the rural US, or for rural PK: female nipples) I don't know much of what the TV commentor is on about with regard to the French Quarter, but I'm pretty sure I heard "exploitation" and "bourgeois" in there.

They show a clip of Jim Garrison (JFK conspiracy theorist) being interviewed soon after

According to https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/04/26... JFK conspiracies should have a new drop in about a year.

Thanks for the local colour. Is the Tulane Card still accepted for drive-thru daquiris?

Edit: from wikipedia "Garrison explains that cover stories were circulated in an attempt to blame the killing on the Cubans and the Mafia but he blames the conspiracy to kill the president firmly on the CIA who wanted to continue the Cold War." I don't know about CIA specifically (nor do I know the Mafia be completely distinct from them), but there is the coincidence that Kennedy and Khrushchev, having averted global thermonuclear war together, soon after were both cancelled.

Edit2: as long as I'm already thinking of conspiracy theories, sometime I'll have to rewatch Cool Hand Luke to see if a valid retcon would be that Boss Godfrey doesn't have much to say because his name (in northern italy, where he served under Karl Wolff) was Marco Gottifredi, and he changed it when he escaped down a ratline at the end of the war to the US south. But he's laconic because his english still isn't so good.

I do not think the Splash card is accepted at any drive thru spots, which were closed until recently due to the pandemic.
