“China stole the f-35 plans!” So? Who care? Like literally who cares? What are they going to do, build air defense systems to counter america’s strategic baby murdering capabilities?
“China is going to invade taiwan!” Again, whocares? Why do you give a single fuck about taiwan? And why do you think china is going to invade when y’all constantly talk about how china doesn’t have the capacity to invade and taiwan would just blow the chip fabs anyway? And china has it’s own mature chip technology? So why do you think they’re poised to invade when you ourright say they cannot do that and have no incentive to, they’re not producing military gear capable of invasion, and their publicly stated goal of peaceful integration has been consistent with their praxis for, what, fifty goddamn years?
“China is spying on us through tiktok!” One, no they’re not, and no credible source believes they are, or even that they could. Two, senior us officials have openly stated they are trying to seize control of tiktok because it exposes kids to information outside of us control. Three, who care? What the fuck is china going to do to harm you? Why are you worried about china enough to talk about it constantly, but you’re totally dismissive of five eyes very real and publicly proven surveillance of your lives, which five eyes does use to cause you real material harm?
How can people this fucking smart be this fucking stupid when the state department sprinkles a little racism on their propaganda? Oh, and also, i was told today that wikipedia says china is doing uighurcide and they don’t need to read the un report because they skimmed it and then they start moving the goalposts from genocide to human rights vioations and removed about prison labor which, again, you fuckers never talk about the us prison slave system that actually effects your life and that you could actually do something about? Fuck’s sake this shit is so goddamn frustrating. These people are smart as hell but as soon as they see an epicathic fold they turn in to the fucking john birch society.
FYI, the US-backed student leaders of the june 4th incident aka “tiananmen square massacre” that weren’t whisked away to the US (see operation yellowbird) were only jailed a few years and left go.
Yeah, us media is very careful not to make definitive statements about things like that. They use ominous language implying folks were taken out back and shot and never actually go in to the details of trials, convictions, or sentencing.
