Selling Nationalist fantasy as entertainment, smh.
Sorry, but CoD is no longer apolitical because they introduced a woman and a black person at some point.
I'm down to kill some evil terrorists! These games have no ulterior motive whatsoever!
Well, unless you count being educational! You guys hear about the Highway of Death? Pretty fucked up that Russia would do that.
Yeah, and those evil ruskies invading and destroying afghanistan at the beginning of the game, we should kill them for that!
Also lets do multiple levels where we basically reduce that place to ash, for freedom tho
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE WRITES THE SCRIPT FOR EVERY HOLLYWOOD WAR MOVIE. THEY ALSO WRITE THE SCRIPT FOR ACTION MOVIES IF THE STUDIO IS DESPERATE ENOUGH. WE LITERALLY HAVE A GOVERNMENT MEDIA CENSOR BUILT INTO THE HOLLYWOOD PRE-PRODUCTION PROCESS WHOS SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DEFEND CAPITAL AND EMPIRE, BUT NOOOO ITS THE EVIL CHINESE PEOPLE THAT ARE EVIL
It's funny that some Western film critics called Battle at Lake Changjin an "insidious propaganda film" when one of its opening title cards said "PEOPLES LIBERATION ARMY AUGUST FIRST FILM STUDIOS". Like yeah, real sneaky shit right there.
Imagine being the General of Movies. Or like Quartermaster Sergeant Jon Arbuckle of the Set Catering Battalion.

oh no! a hit TV series for teenagers peddling pro-China fantasies? how awful! which one? what's it called? I need to make sure I don't watch it! does it have english subtitles? I'll need to be even more vigilant about not watching it if it does! how terrible!
i am sorry i can't hear you over the sound of the AMERICAN FLAG ON EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN MOVIE
I saw one of the Sam Rami Spiderman movies in a cinema in China back in the day. There's a scene where he poses in front of a fluttering American flag with triumphant music blaring.
Total silence from the audience. It was great.
I still think it's extremely based that the plot of Winter Soldier is "The entire US intelligence apparatus is riddled with Nazis and always has been so you should shoot down their aircraft carrier planes and expose all of their secrets".
I'll rather be a nationalist for a socialist state than a capitalist hellhole
But it isn’t nationalist to have the fucking national anthem and military flyovers and honoring the troops at sports games?
Or that every fucking military movie is propaganda for an imperial war machine that does nothing but leave death, destruction, and misery in its wake. Same with every fucking video game that is a shooter now too.
Yes but have you considered our nation good their nation bad?
What even is the narrative on why China Bad? People claim to give a shit about Taiwan, which is ridiculous for a wide variety or reasons not least of which is 1.) Taiwan isn't a separate country and claims to be the legitimate ruler of all of China (and Mongolia, and parts of several other countries) and 2.) none of them could find Taiwan on a map. But that's not really enough.
There seems to be just this widespread acceptance that China Bad and somehow China is our enemy and a threat to us... and it all seems to come down to "Well they're building infrastructure in other countries, which is bad" and "They're threatening Taiwan, which isn't a separate country but we pretend it is, and that's bad" and...
That's kind of where i lose it.
Also the last thing Taiwan want is anyone rocking the Taiwan/China boat. It's a 70 year old civil war ceasefire just leave it be
4chan is a major pro-US, pro-Europe website: "Le WHOLESOME nationalism! Sure, they're genocidal....BUT DEY FUNNY!"
Youtube is dominated by nazis: "Wholesome pro-America!!11"
Chinese entertainment: "C-china good t-too!"
Everyone: "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU BE NATIONALISTIC!?!?!? ONLY WHITE PEOPLE CAN DO THAT! PLEASE DON'T PLOT REVENGE ON US!"
The Dark Side of Western Media Culture:
The Economist, a hit magazine for bloodsucking ticks peddles nationalist fantasies as "news"
