People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.
Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

The problem with China is that it is a real world viable alternative to neolibealism, and it's becoming increasingly clear that it works better in tangible terms.
Hence it's really important to convince people that China is evil and horrible so they don't start asking the question of why can't we do what they're doing.

It's not meant to enlighten Chinese speakers to a truth about China, it's meant to hide the truth about China and socialism in general from non-Chinese-speakers.
And it is not the only piece, it is part of a wider narrative sold to citizens of the imperial core from birth about the PRC, DPRK, USSR, and all other socialist countries to prevent them from reaching class consciousness.
