I’ve lived in China. I’ve had Chinese live with me. I actually know shit without going on social media and being fed propaganda.

You know you can tune out when they mention Zenz. He is to tankies as Soros is to Republicans.

Anything negative of China is propaganda says the .ml tankie.

Gee, you wouldn’t happen to be utterly biased at all.

Anecdotal evidence means nothing, doubly so from a .ml troll.

Tradition is big. E.g TCM crap over science

You cannot disagree with the state

Stokes fear and hatred of outsiders

Blames social frustrations on those outsiders

Appeals to restore past glory

Han ethnic supremacy

You could go through all of Eco’s points and apply them to China pretty fittingly.

I send son off to mines yesterday. Today I get phone, who is? You no longer have son, I cry, you have man now.
