      Pretty much. The bar is set so low that someone who doesn't want to nuke the Asian untermensch is a bleeding heart liberal China lover. (it me I'm the China lover.)

      Anyone less aggressive than holden-bloodfeast is someone who has been brainwashed by Maoist insurgents.

    Liberalism is the rebellion now

    Now libs are doing the “rebels in the name of the status quo” bit.

    Correlation is causation right? Assuming this is even true it's definitely because Tiktok is propaganda and definitely not because TikTok is primarily a zoomer thing and zoomers aren't falling for capitalist bullshit anymore!

    Well, the last Amerikkkan rebellion was the Confederacy in support of slavery, so that tracks

      50% increase in liking digital short video social products made by China.

        From what baseline though?

        I think they are likely presenting "people more online liked more "pro-Chinese" content" in a way that suggests an aspect of causation that wasn't studied.

    50% increase is pretty meaningless. No way that more than 20% of all Americans hold pro-China attitudes, so a 50% increase is, at most, a 10% difference, which is easily explained by generational differences as @Infamousblt@hexbear.net said.

    This would explain why my Pro-China attitude increases 150% daily.

    Liberals really think China is more aggressive than it actually is. I wish China showed an ounce of aggression that these people think they have.

      I haven't gotten a clear answer from the libs and chuds in my life about what exactly China did to them to make them so unhinged about it. Looking forward to plumbing the depths during the holiday season.

        Remind them that 5 years ago they didn't give a fuuuuuck about China and ask EXACTLY what China did during that time to cause their view on China to become so rabid.

          That's the plan. The chuds in my family don't trust the media or the intelligence agencies, but they gulp down whatever they are fed about China by those same orgs.

        There’s been anti-China propaganda since it went Communist. In the 2000’s it was all about their government programs forcing athletes to exhaustion for the Olympics, eating dogs, pollution, suicide nets, cheap products, etc.

        Many Americans still believe China is the same as it was in the 20th century with people living like peasants from the 1800’s.
