Liberals never get tired of falling for the same tricks

Bro I know I know it's the Wall Street Journal. But trust me fam. This time it's different. Trust me. I pay money to read it, you know it's good.

It's generally a good thing that libs think China is collapsing since that means US will continue to underestimate China and make strategic mistakes.

Yea maybe we'll have another round of everybody agreeing China is lying about their military capabilities again.
Unrelated, anybody seen my F-35 there's a light sprinkle in the forecast so I gotta get it covered up.
- 😂
- Sorry, we had to take it before the US military found it, and put some fake alien crap there to fool them
I'm not sure these people who believe this stuff are in positions of power though. I would imagine the US ruling class are more acutely aware of what is really going on.
On the other hand, some of their actions only make sense if they believe their own bullshit, so I really have no idea.
- Being given access to accurate intel is no guarantee that they actually leverage it to form their own views.
  There are anecdotes of US officials using mainstream media to spoonfeed them their positions on issues as they can't be assed to do anything resembling actual work.
All thanks to the service of comrades like Gordon Chang, working tirelessly for their motherland.
- Pretty funny that all the self-hating liberals they funded ended up tricking their handlers themselves lol.
  In their fanatic bid to become honorary aryans they instead became the strategic fool you agency. 🐶

There are liberals who vote and then there are liberals who are elected or own significant capital and actually make decisions. Some of them even have assets that are very dependent on the Chinese economy, company stocks in various exported consumer goods and technology. I doubt they are consuming their own propaganda with respect to China.
- I actually think they are given the incoherent policy US has towards China.

At least this person seems a little sensible. I feel they believe it because a "reputable" outlet like WSJ is the publisher.

- Most people don't know who Rupert Murdoch is
- I didn't know that lol. It did seem mildly fishy.

The self awareness into faceplanting into the propaganda lmfao

Most important election of our lives!!

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Best pasta

Oh well if the Wall Street Journal said it

US mainstream media isn't even trustworthy for predicting the US economy.

They downplayed if not outright denied the potential causes of the Great Recession until well after it had already occurred. They then portrayed the Great Recession "from the perspective of the Obama Administration and big business" manipulating the empathy of their audience in order to serve the interests of their true masters.

Conditions in America are currently worse than the Great Depression by pretty much every metric related to working people. And the media is blatantly pretending it's not happening.

the food prices went up again, do not worry, enjoy the opportunity to lose some weight and learn to cook a delicious full meal with only starch and javascript
- "The US doesn't do propaganda."
lol saw an Australian news video which was like
"unemployment went up, but that's actually a good thing and a sign of a healthy economy. Now onto news of China's economic meltdown"

Least gullible liberal

americans are the most propagandized people on earth

It's easier to believe in something you want to happen. The "hope people will be ok" part is just so no one realizes they are a piece of shit.

This is actually just enrichment for them. Kind of like a cat knows that they won't catch a laser pointer if they chase it, they just want to exercise their natural hunting instinct.

The cat actually doesn't know and if that's the only form of enrichment they can get incredibly stressed out because they are never able to catch anything, so people should give their cats something real to chase after using a laser pointer.
- Really? That's sad, my kitty loves the laser pointer. I need to get her one of those string toys to play with after now.

chinas economy is tankieing.

The state sector advances, the private sector retreats!

poking with a stick meme come on collapse already

I’m obviously not suggesting that they’re gonna collapse or anything stupid like that, but are they in a deflation or not because the media is talking about it a lot. At this point I don’t even know if they’re taking facts and twisting them to suit their narrative or if they’re just making it the fuck up

mfers be like 'china has too many houses this is bad'
I FUCKING WISH WE HAD TOO MANY HOUSES
- Had a friend today give me a "whatabout China's real estate crisis?"
  This was in a conversation about American police brutality... JFC
Deflation is actually a good thing lol.
- This is what I’m very confused about. I read before that deflation is a sign of a slowdown/recession in the economy but like also having your current worth more/prices going down sounds objectively good to me? Is there any good Devil’s advocate position that can put forth any negatives for deflation because China certainly doesn’t seem like a slowing economy to me.
