I am leaning hard on this being bait but also a lot of people across the western internet seem to genuinely believe a lot of what he says so I'm far from certain.

Agreed, I would believe it to be bait if it wasn't for the fact that I've heard similar shit in real life.

The abortion skyscraper was a new one alongside Starbucks for abortions but outside of that if you told a chat bot to act as a sinophobic debate bro he's hitting all the old classics of Mao's big spoon and so on.

Yep, but I've heard similar bullshit like the PLA having mandatory suicide helmets and whatnot, so at this point I'm not even surprised by it.

I feel sad for people like this honestly. Not knowing how bad it truly is for them since they have an imagined untermensch to punch down on.

That's how cultural hegemony is maintained in the imperial core, after all. Can't have a successful alternative or the whole thing crumbles.

It's an incredibly well executed bit if it is one, and the platonic ideal is Poes Law if it isn't
