Link is example. Omg a chimp smoking! Queue 8000 comments about how it's gotta be happier than all the citizens of North Korea combined
Every single thread tangentially mentioning North Korea is like this and it seems like there's multiple such posts every fucking goddamn day with how frequently I see this shit.
Yeah I've been noticing this on every single sub. China or Russia has to be mentioned, even in posts that aren't related to them. You could say this is a reflection of how most Americans are but I don't think most Americans have China or Russia on their mind as much as these obsessed Redditors do.
it's just standard (social media) marketing as far as I'm concerned. they have a public relations schedule where they know what china bad thing they will post for at least a month beforehand and if anything new comes up, they replace old stuff they've already posted.
Yeah they just recycle shit constantly. They milked the Uighur genocide narrative for years, constantly reposting the drone footage of the standard prison transfer or the mass arrest of the MLM pyramid footage we have all seen. They have like 3 pictures that seem spoopy (Chinese prisons are extra authoritarian!!!) that they literally just post each month like clockwork and act like it’s a breaking story.
The comments are always filled with frothing Redditors who think they know everything getting genuinely angry over months old re-posts of fakes
