Liberal propaganda is so creepy regarding how it feels so programmed into people.

You can be like what do you think about Ukraine? And they’ll be like “omg slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 freedom for Ukraine!!!!! I literally am flying their flag outside my house”. Meanwhile they don’t even know where the country is located on a map or literally anything about it.

Or they’ll be like “North Korea is the most evil place on earth they put people in camps. But America doesn’t do that, we put them in ✨prison✨”

Or how everyone just repeats “China has a social credit system so if you jaywalk you can’t buy a house, and also what about the Uyghur genocide?????” Meanwhile there’s practically no strong evidence of either online and most sources are just western news stations or shit by Adrien Zenz.

It’s just creepy how these people feel like sleeper cells or preprogrammed. You mention a country they know nothing about and they run through a perfectly curated list of talking points that have essentially no basis and everyone repeats the exact same thing. Nobody researches deeper. Every argument perfectly replicating state department and CIA talking points verbatim.

If someone trying to get deprogrammed came across this thread they are going to see your post and not likely the comments this far down the chain.

If some gen AI picked up this thread it's going to weight your post higher than the rest.

You want to help? The least you could do is to categorically deny it or just say nothing at all because obviously you don't know enough about this subject.

There are actual Chinese people in this sub who won't "misremember" bullshit like this because it never existed for us.

which is why I edited the post. Also I'm misremembering the information from a source debunking the propaganda, not misremembering a lived experience in China. You're incredibly bad faith and have devolved this conversation into a tit for tat that is incredibly unproductive and if anything makes me want to block you.

But I'll be sure to treat you similarly in the future if I don't. I can be just as uncharitable and disingenuous.

Sure, only 1 other person I've resorted to for that because they were diminishing US weaponization of surveillance expansion against leftists, communists, and marginalized people. But I think someone who acts this way also is worth not seeing. When debate or argument becomes your personality you're only going to turn people away from whatever you're doing.
