LOL only missed the part where as soon as they say they’re Chinese they’re hit with that stupid bot comment. Or “keep getting paid by your daddies Putin and Xi”… and it like, seems like it’s a joke, but they’re actually 100% serious.
Like there are random people online that think very obvious human comments from other people online are literally anti-western propaganda and that these random users are PAID FOR. I wish that were reality. sign me tf up today.
Also really funny some people think Tiananmen was a massacre, to this day. I don’t even think CIA wikipedia claims that anymore
Happens all the time on some instances of Lemmy too.
If this was how the average anti-China poster was on Lemmy and Reddit it would be a marked improvement compared to the blatant aggressive racism, chauvinism etc. of current.
Fair point. I see the extreme vitriol as more a response to rising sympathies and an erosion of ground reactionaries can stand on ideologically. Dialectics and all that.
Definitely a contributing factor but I wouldn’t be so sure that it’s the core or main driver given the long history of orientalism etc.
Also a fair point, likely a secondary aspect.
Why is the guy posting the screenshot downvoting them both?
Did… did USA guy convert to Democratic Socialism by the end of the thread?
– not that there’s much of a difference where it matters.
