Obligatory, fuck Spez
Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias. No, surely not, our media only tells the truth™, China bad always and the West is infallibly morally correct.
I’ve met people in reality who feel the same way as you, and I wanted to ask you something:
Why does that mean that China is good? Like I understand that specific things western media says could be wrong, but we have a hell of a lot of proof about what they’ve done. So what I don’t get is, sure media is owned by billionaires and corrupt, but why does that mean that the exact opposite is what’s true? Stalin/Nazi Germany and Hitler/Germany hated each other, constantly lied about each other, but that never meant that either of them were ‘good.’ So why does it apply here?
I mean, before Methler’s Operation Barbarossa, they were happily dividing the world up between themselves.
Switch “Republican” with “coastal elite” and “anti-CCP” with “anti-conservative” and it’s the same old, tired bullshit.
You’re tripping if you don’t think our media has a sinophobic spin on it.
It does, but you’re really tripping if you don’t think the CCP commits egregious human rights abuses.
