    You sound like someone on Facebook that has “done their own research.” Reading propaganda isn’t the same as understanding political theory.

      Is reading Marx “Propaganda?” What about Engels, Luxemburg, Politzer, Chomsky, or Parenti?

      What makes something “propaganda” and what makes something “political theory?” Is it whatever you personally agree with? Is that why you have a racist profile picture?

      “Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds,” looks like you’ve been scratched.

          Yep, it explains that I don’t like racism, and it explains that you’re outwardly and proudly racist.

          Is it funny to you to depict Chinese people as yellow bears? This is boomer level racism. You can be against the CPC and Xi without making racist caricatures of him your personal profile picture.

          Would you like to explain why depicting a Chinese person as a yellow bear isn’t racist, and is totally okay? Is racism okay for you if its against people you politically disagree with?

            Wait, that’s what the Pooh thing was about this whole time? Embarrassing I didn’t catch on; thought it was just another vapid meme. Not a surprise to find yet another sprouted out of bigotry and took root in people who refuse to think about what they say.

              Yes, that’s legitimately it. Many people who are generally anti-CPC latch onto the Pooh meme without realizing it’s just racism. They see that it’s not generally liked, so they go super hard into it even if it’s just bigotry and nothing else.

              It gets even worse when they pull the “he just looks like that” card. Like, pick a non-yellow bear, at the bare (heh) minimum.
