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.

    Lol remember when the reporters were like "China wants to arrest YOU, sitting at home on the couch, look at me! They're targeting YOU."

    Yellow peril's a potent drug.

      Chances are good that the person sitting at home on the couch should be arrested by China and re-educated.

        If the re-education is that necessary, you don't need camps, just massive promotion of union membership and complete destruction of the existing media empires (or, even better, just take them over forcefully and change the propaganda narrative yourself). After that is when you start doing re-education primarily through mandatory, free schooling with a stipend. Then after that you do more aggressive tactics.

          ...

          mandatory, free schooling with a stipend.

          Yeah, then some part of the population is so indoctrinated that they refuse to attend education, which necessitates that they are detained somewhere while educated so that...

          Fuck. Thats a reeducation camp.

            That's what the last part (more aggressive tactics) was for, everything prior is voluntary. There's no need to possibly make people hate you if they will change their thinking with free higher education and less imperialist media. The ones that are really dug in are the ones that are actively sent to re-education schools.

            Sending every liberal and child off to a camp on day one is a dumb idea because it'll just make everyone hate you as that's like 70% of the population lol.

            Also, by "mandatory higher education" I meant mandatory in the same way highschool is mandatory, not like you're bussed to a compound by armed guards lol.

          These reeducation takes are always so extreme. America has a latent radical tradition that could be popular. All you do is platform anti consumerist Catholics, pro nature protestants, the communist shop steward everyone goes to. You air old Dr. King speeches. You make a documentary about the Benjamin Franklin's radical interpretation of democracy. For the indie kids you get the drummer from MCR and Tec9 on to talk about radical politics. Have Muse, Rage Against the Machine, and NWA on every radio station. Turn american culture against itself

            Exactly, you don't start with aggressive re-edication camps, you start with a massive shift in pop-culture and media alongside massive wealth redistribution programs and see who is still clinging to the old ways before you step into mass re-education programs.
