| Ah yes, CCP, the glorious protectors of autonomy and independent thought. |

| Parent sort-of has a point. Pro-autonomy messaging could be promoted cynically overseas in order to stoke negative sentiment towards policy that would hurt the CCP's interests. Never assume honesty when it comes to messaging. |

It's so prevalent that they even have a name in China for people hired to post on social medial networks and steer the conversation one way or another ("wumao"). | | |
| ▲ | orbital-decay 10 months ago | parent [-] | | I'm sorry but once you start honestly attributing the discussion about your supposed core values to "malicious propaganda done by paid actors" or whataboutism (like the others did), it's already over. Nothing can be done. (I'm not even American, and I don't care much about all this US TikTok nonsense. The entire shitstorm is deeply amusing to me as a side observer, as Americans seemingly learned nothing from the experience of my country) |
