      So the actual, unironic take in lib engineer circles is that China is using backdoors to harvest all your saved account information, use one account to hack all your others like dominoes, and eventually cripple Americas industries and critical infrastructure in one fell swoop.

      I am not joking. They truly believe this is what China is building up to, which makes me think China should seriously strengthen the PLA and PLN. The State Dept is up to something here.

      Like, I know libs don’t think, but imagine “China” actually does this. What would the outcome be, if not nuclear war?

      It’s literally parallels to not even half a year ago when North Korea blew up all southern border crossings and the libs went into a fury about how this means the North will use the ruined roads to… invade the South?

      And then we all found out a month ago it was because South Korea was gathering North Korean uniforms and equipment to stage a false flag attack and start a war.
