Lol. Dump all the US instances into the memory hole. Only bring it up when China does it. When you bring up how US does it too, it's "whataboutism".
Have to say it's a great strategy for maintaining a narrative.
- bostonwalker 3y agoWould China allow US to spy on hundreds of millions of its citizens everyday? Answer: no, reference the Great Firewall.
- pessimizer 3y agoThe Great Firewall is to prevent Chinese people from speaking freely or reading unapproved things. It is not to protect Chinese people.
- goolz 3y agoYou don't actually believe that is what it is for right? This is sarcasm? I can not tell...
- ssnistfajen 3y agoYour misunderstanding of what the GFW is for perfectly demonstrates why people like you don't deserve to have your opinions on China taken seriously.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoI mean... "the rest of the world" (except china, north korea and maybe some other country with a "great firewall") allows US to spy on millions and billions of it's citizens daily... all the android phones, facebook apps, instagrams, snapchats etc. ...sadly.
- joenot443 3y agoBased off your past comments, you have some pretty strong feelings about both China and the USA which might lead one to think you’re not really approaching this discussion in good faith.
- kelipso 3y agoOh good, another thing is to accuse people who have different opinions of being propagandized drones. Pretty effective is controlling the narrative too.
- joenot443 3y agoI don't think you're a drone or that you're propagandized, I just that you have strong opinions. I'm admittedly flattered that you think my idle observations are part of some concentrated effort of 'controlling the narrative' though :)

- kelipso 3y agoYou have to understand it's really annoying when people accuse you of not arguing in good faith, especially for something like having "strong opinions". These kinds of accusations are itself not "approaching the discussion in good faith", so you just go in a circle and don't get anywhere. You can try passing it off as idle observations but not after you admitted going through my comments lol.
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y ago> Dump all the US instances into the memory hole Yes, it's called focusing on a particular subject, the topic at hand. Do you go into Snowden threads and complain that people are dumping the routine monitoring of their populace by the Chinese in the memory hole?
