I mean... I kinda get it, but nowadays it's starting to get absurd.
(EDIT: This was supposed to be a "blow air out my nose and get on with my life" meme...)
As a Canadian: fuck American products. Y'all want a trade war with us, fuck your shit.
All that to say, it's understandable to be angry at and suspicious of products made by antagonistic nations.
As a Venezuelan,Yeah!! fuck both, the US and China! 🔥🔥
40 or so years ago, the hip ingrained racism was being scared that the Japanese would take over everything. That caused cyberpunk to have cool japanese aesthetics and in turn influenced media like Akira. I just hope today's racism at least also ends up looking cool.
I really don't care how much the US complains about Chinese nationalism when they pull the same crap in practically every 3rd world country for the sake of holding power.
There's a reason why so many 3rd world immigrants in the US feel unfazed by Trump because they essentially grew up in some Washington backed imperialist government which was way worse, hence the reason they emigrated.
They understand that neither country is some beacon of hope, they're just two big competitors that keep each other somewhat in check. The tradeoff you get for joining the US is freedom of expression and representation (mostly) and the tradeoff you get for joining China is faster upward momentum and social stability (mostly). Its better to have at least two choices instead of one which in reality would be none.
Yes there will always be sketchy things you probably shouldn't touch, but we're really out here defending internet censorship over TikTok as if the NSA doesn't have 2/3rd of the modern world permanently bugged.
Influence campaigns in full effect this week, even on Lemmy.
Me, as a American: Huh, we just set up camps in Guantanamo Bay to pick up immigrants? That's fucked up.
Also Me, as a American: China does some shit with the uyghu? That's fucked up.
Society: (ignoring Guantanamo bay) Yeah fuck China!
Also me, as a American: openAI stole art. Wow.
Also me, as a American: Deepsink stole from OpenAI? Hilarious.
Society: Hey fuck you for supporting China! You can't even write Tiananmen square on there! Winnie the Pooh! Winnie the Poooooooh!
Yes, China not bad, China good. You should like China cause they don't do bad things to their citizens and anything you've heard to the contrary is just western propaganda.
This is the most neutral 😐 meme I ever did! What "campaign" are you talking about? 😭
Living in a sanctuary city, plenty of people around me are Chinese. I’ve also been enjoying the current state of Chinese gaming. Of course…I play those games on devices I can sandbox.
Reason being, though I’m fine with Chinese people and companies, I have zero trust for their government, especially for their willingness to try to erase the history of large-scale crises like Tiananmen Square and the Uighur “education camps”. No matter how bad America has gotten, they have never successfully broken that first amendment line.
Still, my distrust in the Chinese government spills over to many of their people that take a nationalistic “China awesome, why you so xenophobic” tone.
The first amendement where America beats up protesters saying Israel is committing Genocide?
You don't understand! Critising the actions of the ccp is sinophobic!!!!

Hopefully obvious sarcasm.

Trump is gonna have another go at it. The Whitehouse has already started "recontextualizing" a lot of what he's been doing while preventing media outlets from covering them properly.
