And now the chinese are our enemies all of a sudden. And we need to stop them from genociding our friends, the muslims. You know, the people who were our deadly enemies like 5 years ago. Huh.
But hey, there's no propaganda at work here, no sir. We're immune to that shit. We have our freedom, so no one would ever lie to us.
I'm a euro too, from the north.
I remember like 15-20 years ago, before we had many immigrants from the middle east here. Back then it was the eastern europeans "coming here and taking our jobs and our blonde women". Then when we started getting more immigrants from the middle east, the eastern europeans were suddenly our friends and the middle easterners were "taking our jobs and women and making them wear burkas".
And now my country has joined that "anti-china coalition" or whatever the fuck it's called that's made up of like 7 or 8 countries, so I think I can see where this is going.
If the west keeps pushing a new liberal coalition China is gonna end up being pressured to build a new comintern out of existing socialist states, pop ups on their way in SA and anti-imperialist African efforts that will head on their way that direction. You can pretty much look at Belt and Road countries as an informal anti-imperialist coalition due to the enormous interests involved.
Fingers crossed.
I'm so old I might not live to see it, but I have hopes for the next generation.
