Wild to see Brendan Eich posting in that thread: "USAID wasn't was for "impoverished communities". It's the soft-power, color revolution, skimmed-by-NGO-fatcats arm of the derp state. Friend in an EU country saw USAID-funded team at his coworking space plotting color revolution for Cambodia; defunded now."

What's wild about it (other than the typo)?

What typo? The wording looks very intentional, and you chose to retweet it after writing it.

I had a stray "was" after "wasn't".

If you mean it's wild to slam USAID, I humbly disagree. Doing so may now seem polarized by U.S. partisan politics, but I gave an example of USAID perfidy (one of many) witnessed by that friend in Europe.
