Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Is it just me or is CHYNAAA BADDDD propaganda from The Paper of Record™️ and Fourth Estate™️ getting dumber and sloppier? It feels like they all wore themselves out on Taiwan saber rattling shit and have just been phoning it in lately
It doesn't need to be smart or clean. The propaganda runs so deep and so complete that "China Bad" is almosy quite literally the every waking thought of anyone in the global north who isn't a socialist. The propaganda doesn't even need to say anything anymore, liberals will simply fabricate whatever scares them the most, and if people ever point out the flaws in the propaganda, they'll just laugh and say that it could be real and that's the scary part etc
For me at least, it's one of the scariest parts of modern (western) culture, the complete denial and unwillingness to address reality. WWatching people believe quite literally any shit you can cook up about China or NK. But as soon as you say "uh actually they're just normal human beings" you're decried as an insane person.
Comparing liberals to the insane is an insult to insane people
I mean sure I agree, but I also actually didn't compare liberals to the insane.
