psyops are a psyop

@realpetrateal This is a fundamentally flawed statement. The phrase "psyops are a psyop" fails to follow proper subject-verb agreement, creating confusion and rendering the sentence grammatically incorrect. "Psyops" is a plural noun, as it refers to "psychological operations," which typically involve multiple actions or operations. Therefore, it should not be paired with the singular article "a," which is meant to refer to a singular noun. A grammatically correct version of this sentence would be "Psyops are psyops," maintaining the plural form for both the subject and the object of the sentence.
Additionally, the use of the word "psyop" as a singular form within the same sentence can create ambiguity. "Psyops" is already a plural term, so using "psyop" in the singular implies that the term is being used inconsistently. For clarity and accuracy, the sentence should align both in terms of singular and plural forms. This inconsistency not only disrupts the flow of the sentence but also weakens the overall meaning, making the statement less coherent.
Lastly, there is an issue of redundancy in the statement. The phrase "psyops are a psyop" essentially repeats the same idea without adding any new information. This redundancy could be avoided by restructuring the sentence to express a more precise or meaningful idea. The statement could be rephrased to emphasize the nature or purpose of psychological operations, rather than merely restating the term itself. Redundant expressions often make sentences seem unclear and incomplete, detracting from their overall impact and coherence.

tl;dr: OP is a faggot and his post is stupid, but you not right about why. I'm a mid-wit, autistic about English. Please ignore this. Please don't read this. Please don't. :jahy_eeeeh:
I thought about this. After a quick laugh that you would go in depth about grammar, I concluded that I don't actually agree with what you are saying. You are trying to fight against a meme or thought terminating cliche with an incorrect analysis of his post's syntax. The post is a generalized statement and invitation to discussion that you cannot force to mean something very specific about psychological operations and the recently agitated general public's discussions on psy-ops. The sentence, not phrase, does follow a proper subject-verb agreement. It might not make sense contextually, but it is not a misuse of English grammar. It is also not a tautology, which requires the exact form of "[x] is [x]". That the needed contextual words are missing does not mean that the plural "psyops [sic]" is the tautological form of "a psyop [sic]". You can easily see this by assuming OP means, "Psy-ops by [x] group(s) is a psy-op by [y] group."
What could the meme sentence mean? It could mean that the belief of multiple psychological operations by the U.S. and foreign governments is itself a malicious psychology operation of organized anti-government ideologues, like libertarians and the alt-right, to instill total mistrust in society's institutions built by liberals and mistrust in official or preferred philosophies like liberalism. I don't truly know because OP is a faggot. If you disagree with his opinion, and I do too, then that is fine, but that disagreement with the premise has nothing to do with the validity of the brief sentence's grammar.
If you want to complain about OP's post in a meta manner, then complain that he failed with his rhetoric, not grammar, and say the following: "You attempted to make brief meme against right-leaning alternative political talk; however, you have left out so much necessary information and context that you leave many Fedi users, right and left, confused as to your meaning. You should refer to what exact part of 'psy-ops' discussion is a psychological operation, like the belief that the government conducts such daily or the belief that such are done under communistic, socialistic, or liberal philosophy, thus impugning those philosophies as good for the people." Oh and also say, "You are a retarded super nigger thinking he is oh so clever by making a thought-terminating cliche straight out of the cesspits of Reddit, Dicksore, and Mastodong. Fuck off you dumb and demon possessed nigger-Jew tranny man-whore."
This is what happens when people rely on meme speech, hot take-ism, and a butchered form of an already butchered informal English.
