Just came from a CNN article rambling about Chinese censorship on Rednote. There’s something really ironic about American media trying to paint China as the villains for censorship when the thing that prompted the migration was the US banning an app just for being Chinese. It’s the same kind of two-faced hypocrisy as when they got caught spending years of making Russia a villain for Ukraine, then dismissed the highly visible crimes of Israel in Gaza.
At some point, I’d hope more Americans will realize there’s a big difference between what the US claims rival countries are doing, and the very visible reality of what allied countries are doing. I’m glad to see thousands of Americans realizing they’ve been lied to, but I know millions more are only going to see the cultivated media response and reaffirm their programmed biases. Hard to stay optimistic, living in the Imperial Core.
