This is what happens when underdeveloped critical faculties are subjected to sustained saturation of propaganda. 👆

What are you talking about? Every single information source in the United States is always constantly talking about how great the PRC is, whether it’s in schools, on television, on websites (especially Reddit), on the radio, from think tanks, and so on. A perspective like ‘China also invests in genocide and mass detention, torture, surveillance and rape’ should blow your mind away: nobody has ever said that before! How can you read that and remain unpersuaded‽

We are so lucky to live in the enlightened west where we have so much free and unbiased media available to us unlike those oriental savages.

How can you even trust a source where tiny morsels of actual content aren't obscured by layers of ads.
