    :stalin-stressed: It's scary how propagandized some redditors have become, to the point where every comment they make has to mention Chinabad

      The media here is doing the same thing so it's not that surprising since reddit is just one of the digits of a massive capitalist propaganda industry.

      Seriously, every single fucking story I've heard on the radio or seen on my news feeds have to bring up china in some way or form currently.

      It's absolutely consent manufacturing going into overdrive and still it is freaky to see it in action when you're aware of it.

      Swathes of people suddenly emotionally manipulated into truly believing in an enemy and ready to go to war on the whim of those who control the machines, a huge wave of malice formed from nothing but the misuse of information.

    It is in fact not why the Dragon Boat festival is celebrated (it's a Solstice festival). While it does involve the memory of people who committed suicide (or were murdered), it celebrates them as selfless matyrs, which is definitely not a theme of any major western figures associated with our festivals.

    (Also harrassment is a crime in China)

    You see, making an emulator is obviously stealing/hijacking intellectual property because uuuuh, anyways the only "people" evil enough to do such horrible crime are the chinese, so this person was obviously chinese, and every chinese person is monitorized and harassed 24/7 by their evil government they are too inferior to coup, so obviously Near was killed because they bought a WinnieThePooh teddybear.
