There was a Chinese guy on Twitter several years ago defending China's use of riot police during the Hong Kong riots using non lethal force, saying the rioters were destroying metro stations and damaging the trains/tracks and the police were right to intervene. They brought up how much more violent and deadly the reaction would be if masked rioters destroyed the Dallas or Atlanta subway systems.

Then libs dunked in him for thinking Dallas had a subway, and not addressing the factually correct statement that the gommunist authoritarian government used less force than freedomland

I knew US healthcare was fucked up, but I had my moment of disbelief when a colleague with dual citizenship tried to explain to me what Americans go through to pay their taxes. I literally thought he was lying to me because surely every state in the world wants to make it as easy as possible for people who want to pay their taxes to actually do so. But the US is exceptional I guess.

'Damn bitch you live like this' but for the country as a whole

“Literacy” was always the most basic tool of totalitarian propaganda. If you are not literate you can’t be fed communist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-communist I knew in my childhood was my maternal grandfather who was illiterate. Communist propaganda did not reach him

... well thats Marx, they say, 'thats Marx,' I mean I hear this all the time, I say you know I dont think US policy is so innocent, I mean you know we're out there helping and, 'well thats Marx' and I say oh well that guy Marx was really something you know? Here I am knocking myself out trying to make an analysis of something they give him the credit. Its pretty good, and then I realized something, that wasnt Marx, that wasnt Parenti, that was reality, thats what it was, reality happens to be Marxist.

propaganda is just a red scare loanword for publicity, but americans get pounded into their heads that it means something is a lie. since liberals do their best to ignore class they get to be "objective" and somehow free of class bias

First as a tragedy, second as a farce.

my impression after being on the app is that while america is constantly saying "evil china this, evil china that", china just straight up isn't thinking about us. what clued me into that was, i was watching a live where a chinese and american were talking. the chinese person said her first american movie she remembered watching was high school musical, and half jokingly asked if school was really like that here. the american informed her that no, schools here are generally unpleasant, and dangerous, and there's a huge risk of being shot in school. the chinese girl seemed actually shocked to hear about school shootings, like she had never heard that was happening here in her life. she straight up could not wrap her brain around it. that it happened, let alone that it's a common occurrence.

meanwhile, we're all still hearing about the same knife attack that happened forever ago in china, that despite us hearing about, we also get told that the EVIL CEECEEPEECOMMUNIST CCP PARTY OF COMMUNIST CHINA covers it up.

it's so blatantly obvious what's going on here. china has their own shit going on to worry about where as america has nothing good going on so we're constantly being told to "look over there at their problems"

Literally like in the late USSR.
