There's a bunch of Chinese posts asking if the stuff about school shootings, fires, homelessness are exaggerated propaganda only to be told otherwise. It's both hilarious and sad.

People of the US and China are both unsure of what to believe about the other, because both are so propagandized lol

Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Misinformation

Truths you find inconvenient are not misinformation, reporter.

Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We've been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.

If banning tik tok ends up galvanizing demand for healthcare reform I'm going to laugh my ass off

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

This is breaking my brain... world news told me it was bad and told me what "experts" say about privacy.

OPSEC-wise you should avoid most mainstream social media anyway unless you're using Tor or a VPN, whether it's Xitter, Insta, or Rednote

Said social media blocks you from using tor. Reddit back in the day freaked out when the apparent ip keeps switching and forces you to login again and again.

Not everything! For instance, we don't wear shoes to bed.

"And our tests have concluded, that this is, in fact, a lie."

It's honestly very wholesome to see this kind of interaction. On top of cute moments like Chinese users telling the new US users that they are their "spies," seeing a lot of blatant myth dispelling surrounding the PRC is great to help tear down the Red Scare.
