Does it ever occur to you that someone can not want to jump on the "China bad!" train and not be a bot?

- throwaway98211 5y agoAbsolutely -- there seems to be tons of real people very eager to equate criticism of the CCP to 'China bad!' and this is part of the problem. The CCP (like all major governments in history) has / is / will do things that are worthy of pushback and scrutiny. Please stop cheapening the debate by attempting to reframe critique of a major government's policies as nationalistic prejudice.

- liuliu 5y agoThe reality is more depressing than imagining some central command manufactured this consent. It is just an emerging phenomenon to appease the audiences.
- 9999px 5y agoI don't imagine some central command – I understand Gramsci's concept of cultural hegemony and Marx's base/superstructure dialectic. The American people are completely bought into the imperial line, but they still need to be oriented, thus the massive increase in anti-China rhetoric from State Dept affiliated media outlets.
