          Yeah they 100% are. The China Show (ADV) on YouTube covers Chinese news every week, 99% of it never reaches Western news. Anyways they have footage of the CCP forcing prisoners on computers being forced to troll an shill CCP propaganda like 18 hours every day off the week.

          It’s utterly crazy the money their propaganda machine pays to make people think it isn’t an absolute shit hole.

            Wonder what it would be like if they spent the same amount of effort and money making people think it’s not a shithole by making it not a shithole?

              I am in China right now picking up some stuff before I head back to vietnam, it has way better infrastructure than any other country I’ve been to, last week I took a highspeed train 200 miles for ~16USD.

              Here’s a dog on a scooter:

                My guy, America has the largest prison population in the world, more than big mean baddie China with X5 more people.

                This is BECAUSE of legalized slavery under our Constitution’s 13th Amendment.

                Every accusation is a confession.

                  Yes, that’s the point. There’s no money available to be invested into the well-being of the state because they’re not currently investing money into the slave labor.

                  In the US, there is money, it just goes to private prisons.

                    Actual rehabilitation would be an investment that benefits our whole society a thousand times over, just not a handful billionaires. There’s more motive for them to make life worse for all of us in an ever steepening descent into slavery and extinction.

                    This is just one reason capitalism is becoming an increasingly existential threat to our entire species and all other complex life on Earth. How can we stave off impending doom when there’s no parasitical get-rich-quick scheme solution to problems caused by parasitical get-rich-quick schemes?

            This is wild even for Falun Gong cultists.

            How can the prisoners keep this up with so many missing organs?

          You type “i dont think its ok to torture people” as a response to a news article about people being tortured, and somebody pops up with a history lesson about what your country did before you were born so maybe you should firebomb your own capital city instead of saying that other countries shouldn’t commit attrocities etc etc etc its 99% of the time somebody from .ml

            And it doesn’t make any sense to begin with what they’re saying. They’ll contradict themselves constantly, had one say the USA is authoritarian then in the next post say such a thing doesn’t exist.

            America is arming over 80% of all dictatorship globally, not China, not Russia, not Iran, not North Korea, etc

            If you see human rights and democracy as a universal principle, then this makes America the least democratic, most brutal regime in the world.

            But you don’t, these are just selective privileges you enjoy on the backs of the oppressed, a weaponized cudgel to steal natural resources from developing nations.

            Even most other Americans realize this, but are helpless to stop it because this isn’t a democracy, especially in terms of our foreign policy.

              Your post is literally what yermaw is talking about.

              Instead of flooding the comments with Russian propaganda, why don’t you answer this question: Do you think Russia is doing a good thing or a bad thing in Ukraine?

                And it’s not like Russia and China haven’t flooded the markets with their own weapons as well. Most of the middle east uses Soviet era weaponry and if they have them tanks. My understanding there’s not as much armour in use in Africa but what do you see more of there, the AR or AK?

                  There’s a reason Tony Gilroy made AK blasters in Andor. The AK is the weapon of liberation. M16/ARs are the weapons of the oppressors. The whole world knows this for a reason except you

                  Russia is very liberating the Sahel from centuries of colonialism.

                  When they start pulling shit like the CFA franc, then you can talk. Until then, please shut the fuck up.

                    AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! WEAPONS OF LIBERATIONS! FOLKS, FORGET ALL THE UPRISINGS AND SUPPRESSION OF STATES UNDER THE USSR! THE PEOPLE WERE JUST BEING FREED! Fucking god you can’t make comedy this rich intentionally! You know why they used AKs? Because they have ALWAYS used surplus weaponary with gubbins in making Star Wars blasters. Fucking dolt.
