The Lemmy dot World Chinese disinformation machine thread
Freedom of speech should not extend to foreign adversaries. Give me the ability to geoblock social media just like I can with my router at home. Accurately label any domestic sources that are relaying this disinformation as well so I can block them too.
Lots of free thinkers.
Come for the paranoia, stay for the massive 'why would anyone communism when you can social democracy?' comment thread in the middle
Chinese netizens 👎💩 poopoo peepee!
Hasbara 👌🌈 so wholesome!
"China bad" is one of the most fascinating bits of western propaganda. Even back a decade ago, China was just kind of "over there" and not really talked about, except in vague "They are inscrutable orientals" sort of ways.
But now everyone and their mum thinks "China bad" completely without analysis, it's truly alarming how fast this spread. I wonder if this is due to the US knowing that the standard of living in China will surpass that of the US and the west within the next few decades? They are trying to poison the well before it is too late. The most common element of all "China bad" stories is always that they are "sneaky" that they are "liars." So that people in the west will assume that every city in China is a Potemkin village and refuse to accept that things could be anything other than hell on earth over there.
