      Every Chinese person is a spy for the CCP until proven otherwise.

      Case in point right here. A reporter for a Chinese news agency is attending a press conference in Australia, and a local film crew focuses their camera on the woman for several minutes. Eventually, she becomes creeped out and approaches the cameraman saying "please don't" and then walks away. Everyone accuses her of being a spy and it becomes a news story. I shit you not.

          The comments are even more disgusting. Point a camera right at them and see how they react.

            Yeah, someone who was actually spying wouldn't run up to the camera and try to cover it. They'd just ignore it and not make a scene. Her reaction was that of someone who felt uncomfortable because they were dealing with racist Aussies.

      Some people would pretty much comment this on reddit. Even worse, I'm pretty sure some would pity the fact he wasn't actually chinese, that'd be a fucking reddit moment in my books.

        I don't know, how do you feel when foreigners say, "I don't hate Americans, just your government."

          It's not "just the government", sadly. 45% of Americans are part of a fucking death cult, and would fucking collectively cum if their beloved boys in blue started firing into crowds of protesters. And then, you add to that a bunch of liberals and centrists who oppose the first group with twitter clapbacks. What remains is mostly good, but holy shit, the US' population is easily like 70% shit. America (the ideas associated with it) has to die so that this 30% can finally be free; as well as the entire continents which lie under their boots to this day.

            Also, the "good" part becomes indistinguishable from the rest when the government beats the war drum

    Shits disgusting. My roomate is a capital G gamer and I'm constantly having to try to get him to walk back the dumb shit he says about china. His opinion of the entire country was formed by the drama with Esports player or whatever...

    I know that's not an uncommon story, but if you knew my roomate you'd know how weird it is. He's not political at all and is generally like the nicest most harmless dude you'd ever meet... but youtube rots people's brains.

      Youtube does to young people what fox news does to boomers.

      My weirdly heavily conservative roommate (I say "weirdly " because what the fuck is she getting out of it as a working class trans woman) randomly brings up China Bad shit to me at the most unexpected times. Last night she walked out into the living room to grab the bong and started talking about how China is militarily invading Taiwan and slaughtering Taiwanese people, just totally bizarre and demonstrably untrue shit like that. So I said "lol no" and she immediately reeled it back to "Well if you think about it they are, cause the Chinese legal system includes capital punishment" to which I said the obvious thing, "We live in America, our legal system has capital punishment." It kind of just wound down after that, but it's just so weird to be constantly getting into these surprise debates about China, especially with someone who I've never known to have any other political interests at all. That, and the bold emotional claims she makes, only to walk them back immediately because she can't substantiate anything, just screams "indoctrination" to me.

      Also it's odd that she almost always waits until my girlfriend, who's family is from Taiwan, is in the room to initiate these struggle sessions. I wonder if it's supposed to be some kind of gotcha.

        Not only would it be a stupid course of action, because innocents may suffer, but saying that shit on a forum that is monitored by feds is not wise. I'd remove it if I were you.
