Entire dude gets blurred out of Chinese TV show : mildlyinteresting
redd.it

I'm getting strong vibes of post-9/11 fervor, just with a slightly less obviously racist veneer (still racist, though). People in this state of xenophobic groupthink would absolutely support violence against China and there would be zero barrier to manufacturing their consent for debilitating sanctions, covert operations, and proxy wars. China's relatively strong position will preclude anything too direct for a while, but please consider that this will probably be the central international tendency against which we (members of the imperial core - apologies to comrades outside of it) must organize.

Please consider joining your local socialist organization(s) and taking part in their anti-war/international committee.

    I like the guy further down in the comments offering an example of the post happening in German television and the replies are like:

    Oh my god that's got to be one of the funniest thing I've seen all week , just the silence preceding the shot of that ominous CD making it's way to the contestant.

    Lol “ominous” is exactly the right word. I must have laughed for a week straight after I saw that.

    that was freaking hilarious. Thank you

    Part of me wonders if this is less Orwellian and just the german people having a great sense of humor.

    :fry:

      Right? Just above is someone saying this is like black mirror. Then the one non-sinophobe pointing out that the social credit system doesn't exist like Westerners think it does, providing two lib-friendly sources, has a -400 score or so right now.

      Libs clutching hard to their sinophobia won't even listen to their own authorities just like chuds booing Trump when he goes off of their script.

        Link? That sounds amazing

                Same three or four "dunks" every time. Maybe I shouldn't get so mad at people being aggressively dumb but some friggin international cooperation in the face of eco disaster would be cool
