    I’m getting tired of all this propaganda… I honestly may leave Lemmy if this keeps up.

    “Everything” we’ve heard about China is a lie? Are you people for fucking real?

    Truths you find inconvenient are not misinformation, reporter.

    Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We’ve been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.

    China propaganda machine goes brrrr

    The way people really suddenly think oh yeah China is just a good country like a European democracy where you can live well is flabbergasting. Of course a dictatorship with massive censorship and suppression of minorities has mostly positive comments.

    And of course, many people that aren’t part of a harassed minority or politically active against the rulers aren’t saying horrible stuff against them (which wouldn’t be seen anyway).

    Well tbf, even though it’s strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.

    I spent $82 USD on cold, flu and bronchitis treatment last year!

    The fact that this is considered expensive there made me do a choking double take in the same way as learning that an actual mansion in the 70s used to cost like 20 grand.

    Remember that “Grapes of Wrath” completely backfired as a propaganda piece because Russians were amazed that poor Americans could still afford cars
