    Yeah, but he’s Le Rational Westerner, he’s different from the inferior foreigner.

      He’s carrying the white man’s burden he just needs to reeducate all us untermensch about our real history that only he knows.

        He just tried to argue that we should take his word on how evil China is because he went there and “learned from natives about what is really going on.”

        Of course that means that he must be believed, the actual “natives” themselves are all brainwashed savages

          I am leaning hard on this being bait but also a lot of people across the western internet seem to genuinely believe a lot of what he says so I’m far from certain.

              The abortion skyscraper was a new one alongside Starbucks for abortions but outside of that if you told a chat bot to act as a sinophobic debate bro he’s hitting all the old classics of Mao’s big spoon and so on.

                Yep, but I’ve heard similar bullshit like the PLA having mandatory suicide helmets and whatnot, so at this point I’m not even surprised by it.

                  I feel sad for people like this honestly. Not knowing how bad it truly is for them since they have an imagined untermensch to punch down on.

                    That’s how cultural hegemony is maintained in the imperial core, after all. Can’t have a successful alternative or the whole thing crumbles.

            It’s an incredibly well executed bit if it is one, and the platonic ideal is Poes Law if it isn’t
