This reads like AI generated text. I literally can not understand what you are trying to say.

It’s a copypasta proposal. The point is to cast aspersions and socialize a point of view without delivering information. Very social media-like.

Could you elaborate? The point of it is to asperse what exactly? What is the point of view that someone is attempting to socialize? That people should not care about privacy if they have nothing to hide?

So Big Brother has a bot create a post like this to make people think that other people want less privacy? Why wouldn't a bot just post something pre-written by an actual human instead of some weird collage of robotic-sounding sentiments like, "I look forward to bringing solutions to the US government"? That is not something a human would actually say. It it supposed to look like it was translated from another language? Is it just to waste our time trying to decipher it?

It’s mere satire, wrought bitterly. Not written by a “bot.” The person who wrote it is a high IP leakage/theft risk on cynicism. Yes this is altogether a waste of time and brain cycles.

It is just general US jingoism and fears of "the other" to retroactively try and excuse the expansion of the US military and military industrial complex onto "cyberspace " so as to avoid criticism for it

I think (hope?) that it's sarcasm. The last paragraph is the tip-off.
