This one is gomna break you brains:
Y'all heard of the "Great Replacement" unhinged conspiracy theory?
Imagine that, but Han Chinese Edition.
Context: My family was born in PRC
My older brother told me the CCP is conspiring to... wait for it
Replace Han Chinese with ethnic minorities and "African Migrants"... 🤨
Yea his brain is totally cooked.
Might be lead poisoning or some other weird shit in China.
He hates racism, yet simultaneously believes in a racial hierarchy. 🤨
(of course, he believes Han Chinese are on top 🤨)
Oh did I forget to say, we live in the US.
Why is he so worried about China, a country he no longer has citizenship in... 🤨
He believes in Han Supremacy but became a US Citizen? 🤨
(Sorry for the 🤨 emoji, its just so... bewildering)
Also, doesn't like vaccines, but still caved in and got a tetnaus vaccine when he stepped on a nail. Yes he know its a vaccine, but apparantly, if your risk of dying is high enough, survival instincts overrules conspiracy theories? 🤔
A Chinese person I know believes that Jews control the entire world. Even China was controlled by the Jews until Xi Jinping came along and tried to throw off the yoke. Apparently, the hooked nose is a dead giveaway for spotting Jews.
Fortunately, she is mostly isolated (by her own choice, she has a vehicle and plenty of time and money to socialize if she wants) aside from communicating online.
She also told me that the Mexican government had been taken over by Freemasons in the 1800s and become extremely hostile to the Catholic Church. Priests were killed or driven out of the country, monasteries and convents were closed, and Church property was forfeited to the state.
Actually, to my greatest astonishment, that last paragraph is completely true. Look up anti-clericalism in Mexico. The remnants of these anti-clerical laws were only removed from the Mexican constitution in 1992.
