Propaganda

Since I took a creative writing class at Uoft continuing education in 2020, malicious strangers have shown their true faces. They doubted me and my choice indicating I was just trying to be pretty and manipulating men. What’s so pretty about creative writing? I’m shocked. I couldn’t even remember why I quitted the class the first time. I took a new course after six or more years. These people swarmed back hiding their real faces behind online celebrities and politicians on the news who were publicly figures and could be photographed any time. They were even more cruel and malicious than the last time messaging each other using codes calling names making various untrue conjectures. It all has a political undertone recognizable even from far away stinking of the think tank garbage and lobbyist maneuvers. It’s all to disguise the real benefactors and people who have the power and money to control the flows of propagandas — xi jinping, Chinese communist party and the New York Times. Don’t even think for a second that I don’t know who did this. This is textbook dictatorship when they wanted to destroy you more than just destroying you, especially when you are a woman like I am. Etc.
