As a Chinese person who loves the CPC–every fucking time I go onto baidu forums my feed gets clogged with a few interesting articles and all of this wonky shit.

Apparently if you express any opinions remotely pro-west, you get called a “bootlicker”, and of course there’s the classic “kneeling so long you no longer know how to stand” and that kind of super cringy shit. in addition, they seem to want Xi replaced with Chinese Hitler, as they genuinely think Chinese are the masterrace. There’s constantly shit about how black people are inferior, and one article even suggested a “final solution” for “dealing with the black problem”. They also seem to want the blood of white people & japanese, including several overenthusiastic posters who wanted to murder japanese women and children and feed their dead bodies to dogs.

Uh yeah totally sane just normal-ass patriotism, nothing to see here.

On the other end of the spectrum you have these guys who always criticize the government for no fucking reason. CCTV praises beauty of fields? They don’t understand the pain of the farmers. CCTV praise hard work? They don’t understand the pain of the workers. They seem to hold the belief that all government officials are evil and corrupt, city management exists to brutalize old people. They probably hold a higher view of the Gestapo than their own police. The source they’re probably getting this shit from? A TV show.

Yes, a fucking TV show. And not just any TV show but Kuang Biao, the Chinese Breaking Bad (in terms of cultural status, it’s not about meth). Yes, these people watch this show and apply it to reality. It’s kind of sad.

rant over.
