Reddit is so cursed, even the people who are calling for a more measured witchhunt start their sentences like this:
Show"Look guys, I'm a hater, don't misunderstand me... but this is a little much." lmaooo dead
I refuse to look at that thread
Was this one downvoted or no
Comments are absolutely disgusting. Why would china need to send tourists as spies? Spies for what exactly? Acting like people don't just self document their every waking step on the internet for likes and follows.
Westerners are just coping and seething and projecting their own espionage incompetence onto China.
The CIA’s spies in China were all exposed and imprisoned or executed and now they cope by thinking China is stupid enough to be caught by YouTubers and the website that accused a random guy of being the Boston bomber.
I did see one little pocket of sanity about 1/2 way down the comments where someone pointed out how there is no other information having to do with this whole thing other than this one guy and his obviously unhinged youtube videos. Several other people commented about how they thought they were the only ones who saw it was just another reddit witch hunt, and one even expressed surprise at the reddit hivemind's willingness to witch hunt based on what appears to be nationalism/racism.
There are always a few who are slightly more aware than the others but not enough to stay away from the site yet.
There always are some sensible people but the reddit hivemind at larger just operates on whatever the top comment says
The TikTokCringe thread that was posted a day earlier with her side of the story legitimately has 0 sensible people, though.
Spy behaviour is when you waving little flags of thr country you're spying for everywhere you go.
This may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. What exactly is a spy doing in a UK mall with a random YouTuber that nobody has heard of? Spies target people involved in intelligence, weapons development, high technology companies, etc not fucking piano players.
Part of their main character syndrome. Every white guy and society functions ordinarily but those dastardly orientals are sneaky and always have their eye on something nefarious.
This just proves the lengths that China is willing to go to surveil US citizens. My credit card number & 8 character WhatsApp password are highly valuable assets for a totalitarian nation state like China to seize.
Beat all of these racist fucking crackkkers until they stop breathing.
