No he means stuff like the Hong Kong protests semi-robotic stream of inane content maybe ? Like I know americans are a bit like adult babies and it may not be inauthentic state run accounts, but the speed and amount of disinformation on twitter vs what happened in reality was like wow, everyone around me in HK is basically like "ofc it was a CIA attempt, look at how fast it stopped", which may be exagerated but...
Like I had a german friend, who barely comes to HK once a year as a tourist, send demands to... american senators (!!!!) to sanction HK representatives. I was like wtf the amount of disinformation do they receive to be so extreme and how does it make sense that a tourist send to a foreign government that kind of panicked demand like we were dying of starvation under the beatings of the Chinese or what :D
- dash2 5y agoIt seems weird to claim that your friend must have been fooled by government bots. Maybe he just was influenced by the huge anti-CCP demonstrations in HK. I don't think the "adult babies" phrase adds much to the conversation, btw.
