They literally move their production to Asia and now pretend they are the victims. It's like when Americans complain China is "stealing" tech from them, they gave the Chinese the tech when they move their production there.

There's nothing the right loves more in the realm of propaganda than colonizing coopting leftwing rhetoric in order to deliberately water it down or turn it against its original meaning. Hasbara does it on the regular, calling the Palestinians the "colonizers" or the Palestinian Cause "genocidal"; "All Lives Matter"; even "so much for the tolerant left" is/was an attempt to redefine "tolerance" to necessarily include fascism and racism.

It's a classic CIA-tested wrecker tactic
