Mistrust of the CCP isn't strictly limited to "average Americans". Why should anyone trust them, given that they don't have anything close to a free press or opposition?
- roenxi 5y agoThat is a reasonable position. But "The government are authority figures and I trust authority" is also a reasonable position (and quite common). There are a lot of people out there who trust authority - who can say that YouTube doesn't employ them? Jobs censoring minority views are going to attract those people.
