Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

I’m no fan of Tankies or the CCP, but I’m really not seeing any more pro-china propaganda than you see elsewhere, mostly excitement as a result of their green tech stuff or HSR (while ignoring why China has a need for HSR)

Someone once told me China has such a robust rail system so that they can move their nations worth of prisoners around. I think this is what this user is implying, but I really don't quite know.

    Hey, can anyone tell me why the 3rd largest country by land area and 2nd largest by population needs high speed rail?

    Doesn't Honduras have a higher incarceration rate? Last time I checked in Wikipedia it said Honduras and Cuba are higher by their rates. (obviously taking the Cuba one with a pinch of salt because the source is a Western NGO)

    The last breakdown I saw, only El Salvador had an incarceration rate to rival the US. It even broke down the union and listed each state individually, so the top thirty incarcerates were all US states, then El Salvador, then the rest of the US states and only then did other countries start appearing on the list.

    US used to be the highest, I believe it peaked in the early 2000s? As soon as they took the gas out of the "War on Drugs" machine it really plateau'd

    Much like capital grows until its own contradictions push it outward to the imperial periphery, it seems the war on drugs met a critical point where it could only survive by expanding to LatAm and transforming into the avatars of neoliberalism like Bukele. But also the recent excursion against Venezuela was justified using "war on drugs" rhetoric.

    The punitive justice programs of dead generation weigh on the brains of the living like nightmares.

    moving your people around a lot is bad for the environment. that's why, in the US, we lock up as many as we can in prisons and concentration campus before killing them and dumping their bodies in unmarked graves.

    because its better for the environment.

    Millions of Chinese are dedicated to destroying truth. No society can flourish in darkness. Poo bear will fail, although, in the short term they can propagandized the world with disinformation with successes in different areas. Humanity is truth. Without truth, there can be no humanity.

    @DSN9@lemmy.ml When you say millions of Chinese (just "Chinese," not "Chinese people") are dedicated to destroying truth, and then say that without truth there is no humanity, it sounds to me like you're saying millions of Chinese people have no humanity. Is that what you meant?

    Millions of Jews are dedicated to destroying truth. No society can flourish in darkness. The Judeo Bolshevik menace will fail, although, in the short term they can propagandized the world with disinformation with successes in different areas. Humanity is truth. Without truth, there can be no humanity.

    Evil tankies bought a TLD for $200K to run evil propaganda websites to make libs tremble. These commies wouldn't possibly have any other use for that amount of money.

    WTF is wrong with these people that they are scared of Chyna? No one from China has harmed me. It's been white, American Christian Evangelicals that have caused the most harm to my life. Why aren't you lemmitors going after those people?

    These people are going to have a fit when the UK starts promoting China officially because it's now trying to change ties from US to China.

    Critiquing China for isolationism in the 21st century and collaborating with the US in the 20th, liberalism, cultural revolution, 4 pests campaign, social chauvinism, and other stuff that actually happens: halal

    Critiquing China for Uighur genocide, oppressing Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, social credit score, and other stuff that's either not real or is simply good and correct for a communist country to do (oh no they freed Tibetan slaves and took over a proxy used by Britain to influence China!): haram

    Liberals could do well to learn that leftists have plenty of time to sit and reflect on the things we've done wrong because we're serious about trying again and doing them right. It's really telling that they can say we never criticize China or other AES because we do have so many criticisms, they're just not based on the fictions they have.

    Kind of like how the nu-atheists turned into deus vult guys once their Islamophobia won out over their skepticism, these are the people who, 20 years ago, were laughing and making fun of the red-faced Cold War boomer screaming about Communist Russian influences in the local HOA.
