The amount of sanity thats suddenly shown up in this thread is throwing me for a loop. Am i still on Lemmy here?!
More seriously, Chinese propaganda on here is all over the place in 3 forms,
The shit ur calling out: "ccp good, murica bad. Western media all propaganda, consume more state media from "leftist" regimes."
The pre-deflection, "idk why ppl say russian/chinese propaganda is on lemmy, theres none to be found." Quickly then backed up with another 1 or 2 echoing, "yeah, ive seen nothing of this nature here at all."
And then the most difficult to convince the bystanders of, "if u think im parroting chinese/russian talking points, ur just a dirty neolib who hates true leftism!" Followed immediately by 15 more comments just underneath circlejerking over how leftist opinions are oppressed, all true leftists get called tankies but also tankies dont exist, and pretty much muddying the waters of what leftist theory is typically about (e.x. having a currency, market, and or billionaires is not antithetical to communism).
