    So fucking funny to see folks scrambling to bury the Facts and Logic Post. There is simply no stomach on this site for anything but Western Jingoism, when it comes to a country on the big list of National Enemies.

      The crazy thing is they are the same people who are the first to complain about living under capitalism on places like r/antiwork. Everyone can see that capitalism is the problem, yet so many people have a diamond-hard mental wall up against the idea that the capitalists might lie about their biggest enemies.

        Sometimes I forget that Americans exist. Then people like you pop up and remind me.

        The United States government, since the mid-1800s, and especially since their pets committed genocide in china in the 1940s, has spent more money spreading sinophobia than on propaganda against any other nation. https://www.jstor.org/stable/48823948

      People will really believe the sketchiest, most clearly NED influenced sites blindly if it means confirming their preconceived notions.
