    Disgusting fucking comment. I'm sorry, what the hell?

    Imagine recording yourself with a little statement you prepared before because you've been made aware of the disgusting and dangerous propaganda that's being said about you and your region, and someone who's supposed to be your fucking "ally" in the west shits a comment calling you a "social media foot soldier".

    "Professionally cut films", i'm sorry, I guess those videos aren't poor enough, are they supposed to be recorded on an old camcorder with parenti-level audio and a shaky-cam effect for them to be "authentic"?

    Did you not notice recently the meme-spree a lot of chinese social media went on about the BBC, making BBC joke videos, parodies, etc.. in response to the shitty propaganda the BBC was putting out? So the whole social media thing people participated in was all a fucking chinese state op then, is fucking everything a chinese state op?

    How do people not realize the auto-justification of this "chinese state is a terrifying totalitarian entity that can control and do literally everything" narrative? You can literally show chinese people say or do anything and it will be interpreted as the fucking chinese state somehow being behind it.

    Nothing that can be said or shown will ever be good enough, it doesn't matter how, when and by who, it's a lie, they're lying, it's the chinese state, people are afraid of speaking out. It doesn't matter that this playlist of videos is literally just different youtube accounts, none of them are recorded in the same way or with the same hardware, they don't have a common "script", and they all seem to be in response to specific statements by pompeo and even have an accompanying hashtag that normal social media users would interact with and make videos about, you know like in US or everywhere else.

    It's fucking tiring.
