The last year they've been going non-stop with the anti-China shit. Now they're dropping all pretext and are just running stories like "So when we gonna start war with China, fwends? UwU"
I don't care what you think about China. This shit is stupid. We don't need war in the middle of a pandemic, even if it just ends up being a trade war. We'd lose that war. Call me a paranoid freak but this kind of shit terrifies me.
There's also no way to have like, any form of nuanced discussion with fucking anyone when the word China comes up. If the person leans towards conservative they lose their fucking minds and start foaming about how China is the literal devil and out to destroy the entire world and controls every politician like a puppet and needs to be nuked. If the person is any form of liberal they immediately into a tirade about how coronavirus must have been made as a bioweapon because China arrested the guy who first reported it or something, and also needs to be nuked.
It's like the only people who don't wanna see China nuked are leftists and even that depends on the person.
Literally got called a communist like it was a bad thing today for saying I don't think China is any more evil then the west.
Not even for saying anything good about China.
I've been in near shouting matches for suggesting that maybe those articles that mention Covid-19 antibodies in Spain and Italy back in September might lend credence to the anecdotes of people who got knock out sick in the fall before anyone had even heard of Covid, and makes a bit more sense to me personally than apparently one dude eating tainted bat meat in a relatively obscure (to the West anyway) Chinese city and somehow spreading that worldwide within a month.
US lab theory is fun to throw in peoples' faces, see my other comment here.
