      Meanwhile, the top posts in r/SuckleJoeBiden's toes, aka r/politics, are:

      -A post talking about how Joe's defense budget is bloated and needs cutting, with every comment avoiding talking about how much of an assclown Joe is for having said budget

      -A post talking about how Biden signed an EO authorizing a commission to study Supreme Court reform, when he will probably be dead before anything has been 'found'

      -A post talking about how brave some Republicans are for calling out QAnon loons

      -50 or so posts complaing about Trump/ Matt Gaetz/whatever other conservative is the target of ire

      -A post on how everything is the fault of conservatives

      Brainwashed Chinese tho.

    The scariest part is that I have heard this from people in person plenty of times. The propaganda and misinformation is so total and complete that they don't even have to pay people to spread it, it perpetuates itself.

      I really am angry about the glorification of Nazism which is in there. The idea that "the Nazis perfected" anything is just absurd, but carries on to today. It is this factual wrong - see the glorious Red Army freeing Europe from the evil's of fascism - and carries on the propaganda of them.

      In fact the Nazis didn't perfect propaganda between 1918 to 1945 (or just till 1939?). However the continuity of Fascist thought and the advertisement of it and shielding of it from the Western allies is a really big problem which consequences we see till today.

      Agreed man. Most of my friends are at least libs but China might as well be nazi Germany to them at this point. The prop is working

    When the concept of holding corporations accountable in anyway is so foreign to you it must be a personal vendetta

    R*ddit is a hivemind. They're hopped up on anti-China propaganda, because if something like this happened to, e.g., Amazon in the west, they would probably see it as positive news.

      It's an exclusively neolib/propaganda narrative with some baby leftists that don't understand how the state department human right propaganda works yet.

      Has your family ever been to China? I've heard going there and seeing it for oneself cures the brainworms so maybe they did that?

          You're persuasive, I suppose. Other people on here seem to have a different experience. Beyond just comparing anecdotes, wasn't there like a pew poll showing that almost half of americans consider China to be their greatest enemy doubled from last year? If the poll is reliable, then it might not just be an online thing. Maybe your family just happens to fall outside that half.

      I broadly agree, with the caveat that I have conservative friends who don't like China because they think they're stealing our jobs or whatever but it's pretty low on their list of political passions.

    Why are libs so utterly obsessed with Xi Jinping's personal likes or dislikes? They treat him like some scheming supervillain who is personally involved in every aspect of Chinese life and it's because certain policies make him sad or happy. There can't possibly be a wider Chinese state apparatus or internal social demands directing policy, absolutely not. It's that dastardly Xi the Pooh. I had a coworker a while back who would post Winnie the Pooh on his Facebook several times a week saying like "I bet this pisses Xi off so much."

    Is it because Xi Jinping is the only Chinese politician they know? Possibly the only Chinese person they can even name?

    There's great man theory and there's... Whatever this is. I'm guessing it's the same impulse libs had on twitter with Trump.

        They also cannot imagine a government that is different from their own dysfunctional corporatocracy, where it is unthinkable that a business be fined for breaking business laws.

      They think Xi is a dictator and that saying something to piss him off is illegal.

      They think they're making a statement.

        I think this is the answer I was looking for. They probably get a little rebellious rush feeling like they're committing a crime. They think they're Charlie Chaplin mocking Hitler I guess.
