    Dehumanising people for disagreeing with you and being racist towards Chinese and Russian people is so amazingly leftist of you. I wish I could be this principled and progressive.

      Yeah, here’s a great example. Claiming anything op or I said is racist is wild. And also, Russia and China both have very well known state-sponsored disinformation/trolling campaigns running around online, so it would be expected that you would find dishonest accusations of “dehumanization” all while these trolls are merely “disagreeing”. That shit sells with the terminally online left and big-brain centrists, which is why they push that rhetoric. The worst part is you never know if it’s one of the state-sponsored professional trolls, one of the real people caught in the echo chamber, some rando dickhead that thinks it’s funny, or maybe someone who is using terrible translation methods.

        Yes I agree everyone who doesn’t believe everything ever said about china and Russia is State sponsored or brainwashed and anyone pointing out how that is cpuld easily be dehumanising is also state sponsored or brainwashed. Really getting more and more leftist, principled, and progressive with each post. Fuck investigation, criticism, and debate true principled leftism is all about fedjacketing and bot jacketing.

        Russia and China both have very well known state-sponsored disinformation/trolling campaigns running around online,

        So does the US but I’m not about to call you or any of the idiots I see running around spreading blatant falsehoods CIA or NSA or brainwashed because that’s shitty and unhelpful.

          You know, I can’t help but wonder if you and I truly disagree with one another on this particular subject. On top of that, I think it’s important to point out that we certainly have much more in common with each other than we do with our own political “leaders”. So I find it interesting that this particular conversation has devolved into criticism of state-sponsored bullshit at each other. While it’s certainly true that every major country in the world sponsors bullshit online, I think the number of actual propagandists is wildly overestimated, and the efficacy/subtlety of rhetorical propaganda is wildly underestimated. Hence how those in power are able to get people, who would otherwise recognize their common struggle, to be at each other’s throats instead of their common enemy. No one is immune to propaganda and I think we all tend to habitually forget that about ourselves.
