Oh... yea

SNEAKY CHINESE COMMUNISTS EXPOSED

Is there a word for when the world becomes what used to be satire? I remember when The Red Scare of the fifties was made fun of as ridiculous hysteria (Hank Hills dad, Fallout and Harvester come to mind off the top of my head of jokes the 90s' used to make about The Red Scare), and here we are repeating the mistakes that we used to shame the past for.

Vidya game was right, war never changes

    Also lol @ "Exposing how the Chinese Communist Party is reshaping the world"...they fucking televise that shit, it's not a secret master plan just because you can't understand Chinese and don't seek out translations.

      Hell the "Governance of China" had most of them included, Xi literally promised all that publicly. But in Poland only first book in the series was published by the specialised publishing house covering diplomacy and international relations. Then they probably had visit of people from lettered agency explaining it wouldn't be wise to continue.

    Pop history is such insufferable lib shit. Ironically, bookstores are the last place you will find intelligent works.

    Go to the library while you still can.

      Libraries in Poland are also full of that, because older books got purged and for 35 years only such shit is published so they don't even have the choice.

      I buy books online or pirate them most of the time. I hadn't visited a real bookstore for a while and was in an area I don't usually visit so I took a look out of curiosity. I wish I had stayed away, touching grass was a mistake.

        Yeah i rarely go to book stores too, mostly just to browse the scifi section, but the politics section reeks of shit, sometimes with whole rows dedicated to anticommunism

    oo "where the rich own the truth" sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!

    In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

    yea

    i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.

    After de-radicalising in my early adulthood, fake history / politics / theory must have added another five years onto my lib journey.
