It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This just looks like something produced by some guy larping as military recruitment, https://twitter.com/GoArmySOF

Can I ask why you think it's fake?

Vid obviously seems insane like Jinx went back on their meds so it felt like it was worth a deeper five. I went about as deep as I could, they've got a .mil URL, IDK I couldn't really come up with anything that was clearly bogus.

I don't have an opinion one way or another

but the video is pretty much entirely stock footage + music + overlaid text, something it would take very little in actual resources to throw together

that being said, that's kind of the standard for most corporate videos anyway, which is why there's such a demand for high-quality stock footage as seen in the video

Hahah I knew ive seen some of the clips from OPs vid somewhere before.

Anyway, afaict the youtube channel seems legit but who knows. I figure YT would have taken it down at the behest of the actual psyop gang if it wasnt legit, or maybe not?

Theres also another channel https://www.youtube.com/@8thpsyopgroup which is the only one I can find linked from their website here https://www.soc.mil/4thPOG/4thPOGhome.html

Mostly what others have said, it's just a collection of stock footage that shouldn't be too hard to throw together. The URL it's not actually on a .mil domain, it just redirects to one, which is another point that makes me think they are unaffiliated (as in, not officially).

Seems to be confirmed by these actual military dudes (who beg you not to let this bad video taint your impression of US PSYOPs). It was also posted under the title "Do you believe in ghosts?" from the 4th PSYOP Group Facebook page which is listed as a government organization by Facebook (possible that this can be faked although I'm unsure). I'll check through the official Instagram (linked through the official military link in the Facebook bio) later.

Edit: Checked the Instagram, can confirm 100% the video is authentic as it was posted on the official Instagram account for the 4th PSYOP group (account confirmed authentic as it was linked in an official .mil page for the group https://www.soc.mil/4thPOG/4thPOGhome.html).

I shouldn't be surprised by how transparently evil these people are, yet here I am.

(I can't seem to open the .mil link, not sure if it's just because I'm not in the US?)
