imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival's networks.

Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival's social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.

It’s never too late to discard your patriotism to a state that doesn’t give a fuck about you. You don’t owe it your allegiance, be it Burgerland or India or whichever shitty capitalist state.

Patritoism?
I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.

Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I'll wait.

dont the uyghur thing get proven false time and time again?

videos and photos inevitably leak of shit like this but theres nothing credible to support a genocide happening in china... why do people believe this?

What’s a “secret” are not those events, but the garbage that propagandized Westerners believe about those events.

So you’re right, the “genocide” is a “secret,” and the “massacre” is a “secret.”

Thanks for sharing.
This paints "massacre" as retaliation against CIA sponsered armed factions. Looks very much like what happened in Bangladesh recently, but unlike China CIA succeeded in Bangladesh.

No doubt the US will keep trying. It’s always working to regime change states that it can’t sufficiently control.

The blueprint of regime change operations

Lol, that's the worst attempts at spelling Tienanmen Square and Uyghurs I've seen yet, and I've seen a lot.

How does the US ban on TikTok thatbmakes people switch to rednote now fit this description?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 0 points 1 month ago

Perceived weak points, huh? So the brutal genocide of Gaza is just a little whoopsie that we should.move past? Hell no. This isn't weakness or a mistake, this is America pulling off the mask, and anyone making excuses for it this late in the game is close enough to a fascist as makes no difference.

Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival's social media

So free that they they banned TikTok and only haven't banned RedNote with it because they overestimated the strength of their anti-China propaganda.

I think there's a simple desire to move to pastures new. "Use Instagrmam or Youtube Shorts or Snapchat" No, we've been there and done that.
