Returned to this comment thread after a few hours to see if anything came of it and all I can say is that I wish I was surprised. I do however salute my fellow Chinese comrades valiant efforts.

    Deeply unserious group of people. The happy merchant example is actually a good one of how antisemites can still criticize Isreal, despite the antisemitism of Isreal itself. Saying “Free Palestine!” isn’t antisemitic. Posting a happy merchant whenever US foreign policy comes up absolutely is. But I guess we can ignore all that to continue shitting on China while regurgitating US State Department propaganda?

    Which brings us to:

    I actually never saw one single instance of this Eugene idiot not being a completely piece of shit. Even when the idiot is on the right(like calling out the tesseract dev) he do that by being the most annoying redditor alive.

      They are doing something relevant. They are defending the genoicdal imperialism that has kept them comfortable for generations, built on the backs of racism and slavery and untold suffering. And as long as all of that evil continues to help them, they will continue to defend it without question

    I just get a headache trying to read that. Trying to untangle it, I think that what they are critically eliding is that because the context of the copypasta is unambiguously meant to be directed at Chinese people (because of a senseless myth about how Chinese censorship works) they are pejoratively calling the user Chinese for being a communist, which is obviously racist for the same reason it’s obviously racist for Trump to call Chuck Schumer a Palestinian for not being adequately hawkish on Palestine.

    Do they have no understanding that there’s a long history of racialized propaganda against China that obviously is going to have a number of modern examples?

      There are 3 options as I see it:

      1. They are complete fools who understand nothing except the line they have been told and uncritically accept.

      2. They are racist

      3. They are fools who uncritically accept the Western liberal line and are also racist.

      From what I can see 3 appears most likely.
