This post is obviously still full of people who swallow the propaganda but there’s a surprising amount of comments calling it out, and I’m noticing that as a trend across posts. Link to the post

    I’m definitely skeptical about whether or not this propaganda flood is getting better of worse but it seems as the spamming of anti-China articles increased I’ve noticed a huge (and disproportional) increase in people calling out the bullshit. Like I regularly see people with non-commie post histories calling out posts citing Zenz, which if we are being honest, is about 80% of the articles

      This is what the Libs call polarization. The anti-China bandwagon is larger than ever, but so is the response.

      I don't think you'll ever get the majority of Westerners backing China on this, but it's inevitable that as the subject becomes more popular to discuss, both sides become more prominent.

        That’s definitely better for us then. As people see through western propaganda more readily the constructed worldview will slowly melt away

        I mean the article posted is literally from fucking Voice of America and it quotes Zenz and cites a BBC article which also quotes and cites Zenz. It really doesn’t get much more blatant than that so it’s obviously a low bar to clear, but it has been cleared by quite a few
