CIA Recruitment Video

[Wes Mantooth]

I just stumbled upon this on reddit.  There's a LOT of cringe in this video.

The next time I hear someone refer to themselves as cis gendered in real life will be the first. I'm a pretty tolerant dude, but I wish they'd stop with some of this.

[Wes Mantooth]

Here are my favorites...

"I'm a woman, I'm a mom, I'm a cisgendered millenial that's been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I'm intesectional but my existence is not a box checking exercise."

"I used to struggle with imposter syndrome but at 36 I refuse to internalize misguided patriarchal ideas on what a woman can or should be."

"I'm tied of feeling like I'm supposed to apologize for the space I occupy rather than intoxicate people with my effort, my briliance. I am proud of me. Full stop."

[Arturo Bandini]

I just don't relate to.

What made you cringe? The fact that a first generation immigrant woman has accomplished 10 times more than you?

Wait I'm confused.

Is this about spy stuff or sex stuff?

I think it's about snowflakes being triggered by inclusive language.

That wasn't one of the options.

Funny how people can watch the same content and come away with entirely different ideas about it.

I think it's that they're very clearly trying WAY too hard here thats the source of cringe.

"I intoxicate people with my brilliance" isn't a cringeworthy statement?

I really didn't watch the video or care much at all about any of this conversation. I just saw the commentary about cisgender and decided to poke a little fun.

I didn't cringe.

They've got their own youtube channel.  If you click on the video to take you to youtube you can check out their channel.

What's strange is that their account goes back 10 years, but it only had a handful of videos for years.  It appears they've recently decided to start posting more content.

There's a series of these (Humans of CIA).  You can tell who has the jobs you normally associate with the CIA because in a couple of them they don't show their face.

I'd agree if she had just said I worked hard, got a job at the CIA and I am moving up because I keep working hard.

On a positive note I learned the definitions of CIS gender and yeet.  Although I still cannot figure out why she has to specifically say she is CIS gender or call out her race.  Who cares?  It's very puzzling.

I know you haven’t noticed the white supremacy vibe from the right. But the white supremacist groups have. And the guy with multiple wives he cheated on who grabs em by the pushy is still the savior of the party. This is a little something for the minority women who make up a large part of this country and let’s them know they can still contribute.

Totally understandable the fear and butt hurt white men feel from this.

Are you serious right now?  White supremacy vibe from the right?   Just wow!

Maybe if we stopped with all the BS identity everything and just saw each other as humans things might start to get better.
