I was arguing with a :LIB: about that Chinese action movie that prompted a round of yellow peril a few months back. They tried to claim that it's okay that America made war movies because that's just a FREE MARKET™ providing what CONSUMERS want! It's different when China does it because they're intentionally stoking jingoism in their population.
Imagine their surprise when I cited the extensive censorship and collaboration between US DOD and CIA. Would you guess that they just flatly refused to believe it, and defaulted to racist tropes to defend it all in the same breath?
