This post appears to be from an anti-US, pro-China propaganda account.

Down vote, block, and move on.

This is actually an instructive example of a liberal propagandist at work. The comment does not engage with the actual content in the submission or provide any critique of it. Instead, it simply urges people to not engage with the content based on a personal smear. These kinds of comments are intended to shut down discussion and prevent people from having a broader perspective.

Most Americans have seen enough of the far right's "No, YOU'RE the propaganda shill!" style that this is a pretty sad and transparent deflection.

For the original charge, many people have tried to engage with you in good faith. You answered with bigotry and even more weakly sourced misinformation. When finally cornered, you dismiss the entire conversation with a smug remark. You are clearly a propaganda troll with a biased agenda and per the rules, you should be banned.

There's nothing being deflected here. I'm just pointing out that you're not engaging with the content and doing cheap smears. Meanwhile, feel free to provide an example of me answering with bigotry when people actually engage in good faith. I just dismiss trolls like you who because I know exactly what you are as does everyone reading your comments. If you don't like the vibes here feel free to go back to reddit though.

This is called sealioning so you're really just helping my case here. Err, thanks, I guess?

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

But from memory, you typically display the following rule breaking behavior:

"Ignorant American", "Hypocritical American", and so forth
"Whatever helps you cope!" "Good luck with that!" (end of conversation)
Posting almost exclusively stories that portray the US in a negative light

Sealioning is literally what you're doing here kid by sliding into my post to make personal attacks. I love how you think that posting negative stories about your shithole country should be against the rules. Your country is hated by majority of the world, maybe think about why that is.

And you appear to be an idiot. Downvote, block and move on.
