SHANGHAI—In an offer promoted heavily on banner ads across the internet, Chinese e-commerce platform Temu began selling Uyghur Muslims for $1.49 each this week. “The special price available during this lightning deal will lower the barrier to Uyghur ownership for consumers everywhere,” a Temu spokesperson told reporters, confirming that more than 100,000 of the subjugated ethnic and religious minorities from the Xinjiang region had been sold so far on the discount marketplace. “You won’t find prices on forced laborers this low anywhere else. When we tell our customers to ‘shop like a billionaire,’ we mean it.” Approximately 90% of Temu users reached for comment complained that the Uyghur laborers they had purchased arrived in such damaged condition that they no longer worked.
I’ve meet people who are as left as me on every topic, even some who are at the very least skeptical of all the anti-DPKR propaganda, EXCEPT they fall for every anti-China bit of info they come across.
I genuinely don’t think you cant Deprogram people from this, it’s too deeply drilled into their brains. China could achieve FALGSC in the next 50 years and the children todays Americans will still post about muh-social-credit-scores wigger genocide Xi=whinnie da poo, on the FTL hyperspace net from a space station China built and maintains for them.
China has always been hated by generations of Americans. They could turn into a liberal democracy tomorrow and they’d still hate them.
People still call Russia communist
Pretty much ever since a ton of Chinese migrants came and built half our railroads (the Irish built the other half and were hated at the time, but eventually let into the white people club).
Yup. Reading the yellow peril literature about the Qing dynasty sounds exactly the same as the anti-PRC stuff. The republic of China was actually somewhat well liked but only because it was much weaker and pro-US.
I’m proof that you can deprogram people from that anti-China thought. It’s just a slow process.
It’s a slow process that takes years and is like pulling teeth. The hard part is that people need to want to be deprogrammed, they can’t be forced into it, or they’ll just double down. And China is a convenient villain for them to hate and to compare to their own crumbling western governments. These people’s entire existence hinges on an idea of “as bad as things are getting, at least we aren’t like authoritarian China.” They are the good guys, in the good guy country, fighting the bad guys in the bad guy country. It’s simple, it’s comfortable. And it’s hell trying to drag someone out of that.
