Legacy media is now calling anti-lockdown protesters in China “courageous,” having demonized anti-lockdown protesters in the west since the very beginning. Some of us haven’t forgotten! (www.youtube.com)

It is funny how progressive authoritarians still act the same way now that they did when Orwell wrote 1984.

The Ministry of Truth and Big Brother always know what the people should think.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

I certainly won’t. Especially since they attacked anti lockdown protests here shortly before worshipping at the altar of Floyd and pushed the idea that the people being outdoors didn’t spread covid

The fiery part of the peaceful protests sterilized the area, keeping the protesters safe.

Either that or covid is an intelligent virus that knows when you are protesting for the correct causes

Might have considered the protestors fellow viruses, can't have friendly fire.

If I was a cynical man (which I am) I think they are encouraging these protests for two reasons:

  1. China is definitely not their guy it turns out and used them, if the protestors remove the current power, there'll be turmoil that they can use to infiltrate and place their agents in

  2. Maybe use as an example as they know China will ruthlessly put them down and go 'See, we're not as bad as China so quit complaining about us locking down your bank accounts'

Well, it ain't this one. Xi specifically is "their guy". So removing him from power only works if you get someone who is a puppet to the Fabian Order in charge... which isn't going to happen.

I think they are trying to restore credibility by claiming to be against lockdowns now, rather than previously.

I'm trying to understand how Xi is their guy by his actions, example of how to do authoritarian control, no. Financing and supplying the influences to corrupt the west, yes but they definitely aren't in a position to take over after as China is one push away from another 'century of humiliation'

As for credibility, they gave up on that shit years ago. They bank on their brainwashed drones to repeat their lies then hope the public is placid enough not to push or fight back.

Perhaps I'm saying it wrong. I'd say their his guys more than the other way around. They are invested in China and are desperately hoping for a return on their investment at the cost of the entire west.

That makes more sense and yes you are right in that case.

It's why I said he used them, he ain't returning shit to them, and he isn't in a position to as China is collapsing under It's own weight, in some cases literally.

You may hear about the 3 gorges dam, that massive structure that everyone can see as a perfect military target if China acts up. Well ever since it's construction, it's 'moved' ,shifting under it's own weight and looks like it's destined to collapse by itself.

That's China, built on shoddy foundations to project power and prestige, collapsing under it's own weight killing millions of its own people. The fact elites in the West invested money thinking that they are the new power shows how much of a bubble they live in.

it's okay when WE do it

the Left has 0 self awareness or reflection or criticism. They routinely act in hypocritical ways.

All this dumb shit the CCP is doing, the Left did in western countries, with a difference only in degree, not in kind.

Attacking the enemy but failing to attack allies isn't hypocrisy, it's warfare.

Xi will get lynched and his bloated, oily body will burn for 3 days and 3 nights outside the palace.

If they didn't do it to Mao, they won't do it to Xi.

They might have been too weak from hunger and exhausted by the cultural revolution to lynch Mao. Now they're comparatively well-fed and somewhat informed of what's going on outside China.

I like to look on the bright side.

I'd like to see revolutions in Communist or Socialist countries, but uh, they just don't happen...

It pains me to no end to say it, but the historical record is clear: Socialist countries only end due to: implosion, reformation, or invasion. I've almost never heard of socialist countries that had successful revolutions. The closest one was Romania, and it was because all power had consolidated into Ceaușescu personally. The people who actually committed the massacre that set off the revolution, actually stayed in power and declared themselves not communists.

Hell, there's a sad moment where Kruschev absolutely shocks the Communist world by screaming about how Stalin basically destroyed the country and inspired a reign of terror, and instead of there being any sort of tearing apart of the Soviet order, everybody just went home. There's never been a revolution in Cuba, or North Korea, or China no matter what horrors were visited on them.

You just don't really see revolutions taking place, even if people start starving to death.

This is what Xi is also doing in China. And hurting the economy to do it.

It is strange that the legacy media is turning against anti-lockdown protestors, especially for the ones in China.

In the west, although anti-lockdown protests were condemned, they specifically understood the lockdowns to be bad and claimed that the anti-lockdown protests were causing the lockdowns.

I wonder if this is the media's attempt to maintain legitimacy by taking a more popular position now because being in favor of lockdowns is detestable, or if some other faction among the elites wants to increase antagonism against China for some reason.

I'd say the former. They bank on our short collective memory and the whiplash effect.

just to be clear, kamikoto knives are a scam and bad quality and they are not Japanese knives they are from a Chinese company that are selling only to Westerners

Meh. China's an establishment ally. And if push comes to shove, Russia is China's vassal, not the other way around.
