    I know you think you’re being clever saying something like this, but I assure you, accusing a long running Canadian publication of being “Chinese State Propaganda” just because it says something you don’t like isn’t actually the brilliant display of intellect that you think it is.

      No, I legit thought it wasn’t good enough to be actual Chinese state propaganda, which I’ve seen plenty of — as well as Russian, American, Canadian, et cetera. But I guess it could be; by now I expect they make many different kinds to cater to all tastes.

      This stuff isn’t for a mass audience, obviously. It’s for people who are already heavily invested in a very specific world view that’s been constructed for them. One which I hadn’t been keeping track of. Apparently some people are actually buying into it. My mistake for wandering past uninitiated. For my part if I’m going to invest the mental effort to believe anything that crazy it’ll be something more fun, like fairies in the garden or the promises of a major oil company to go carbon neutral.
