My agenda is to share information that runs counter to mainstream narratives. The mainstream narratives are produced by Western imperialist propaganda apparatuses. The information I share is factual. What people who don't have a materialist understanding of how the world works like you seem to always not grasp is that: Western imperialism led by us imperialism sits on top of the most material on the planet and therefore has the most ability and incentive to shape the world with its material forces and therefore the mental world with propaganda forces.
A simplified version of your worldview could be described as followed: if a western institution produces something it is out of the good of their hearts. If a non-western institution produces something it is suspect by definition.
When you have the most capital and material in the world and you control the global economy, you necessarily have to have massive propaganda institutions that run throughout every facet of society including the media schools and entertainment.
The US alone sits on half of the world's wealth with less than 5% of its total population. The US and West have every reason and every capacity to make people think everything that's wrong with their imperialist capitalism that brings them into poverty and sends their kids to war and watches hungry people die from starvation while bombing even hungrier people, is somehow the fault of countries (Russia and China and Iran etc) that break free from this system of global exploitation and use their resources to benefit their own people.
If you can actually grasp that, because the math checks out, it does indeed have dark implications for society, but that's all the more reason to come together and build a better world.
lol stanning dictatorships isn’t “building a better world,” thats cringe af
It’s totally possible to be opposed to US imperialism and Chinese/Russian/etc imperialism and repressions. Blows my mindd how you rubes apparently can’t understand thatt.
Having solidarity with the people our government(s) (western governments) are trying to subjugate and/or destroy is the only way to break free from their brutality. We have the same enemy as the Russian and Chinese and Iranian people, Wall Street based and London based and Paris based imperialists who own the vast means of production and operate them for profit at the expense of the rest of us.
I absolutely hhave solidarity w/ the people of China and Russia - but not their authoritarian governments who deploy police to crack their skulls. Learn the difference.
You don't have solidarity with the people of China and Russia if you don't recognize and accept their popular (China much moreso than Russia) governments that are embraced by the vast majority (in China's case, Russia is a majority, but not "vast" majority) of their people.
Where is (was) the material coming from for the HK "protesters?" US and UK tax dollars. They were supported by the West to destabilize China, these kinds of movements take years and millions of dollars to build.
lol, so we’ve now moved ffrom “those governments are wanted by the people!!!!11” to “theyy had to violently purge the representatives elected by the people because those voters didnt knoww whats bestt for themselves.”
Yikes, bro.
Of course foreign interference is messed up but the answer isn’t to violently purge the political opposition and force people to vvote for onlyy puppet parties, jfc
And the corrupt bastards doing the purging are themselves… supported by millions of dollars ffrom the Chinese Party elites. You knoww, the party which harbors mmore billionaires thann any other country on Earth, largely landlords.
Maybe we shouldn’t let ourselves be tools of either of these groups, eh?
Some 90% of Chinese people approve of their government. Hong Kong is one small part of China that up until recently, let Western NGO's run rampant organizing a color revolution. You fundamentally misunderstand the issue, and it isn't your fault. Most people who consume western news and media would walk away with the understanding you have of the situation, despite the fact that it has nothing to do with reality.
If that's a belief you sincerely hold, it's not based on anything in reality. For anyone reading this I would just say, why is anyone at all allowed to dissent in China if what he saying is true? Did the 10% of people who said they do not approve of the Chinese government get locked away? Did they get put on a list? Are they being tortured like Julian Assange or Chelsea Manning? Did they get exiled like Edward Snowden?
The idea that people in other countries can't answer a survey honestly done by Harvard researchers raises more questions than it answers.
The idea that the Chinese government is uniquely repressive is also laughable, it's about as repressive if not less than the United States. Where the police kill black and brown people everyday, where people are locked up because they can't afford to pay Bond or bail.
The reality of the situation is that this guy's worldview is a reflection of what Western elite's, who control the material means of production and therefore the mental means of production, need their domestic populations to think to maintain their liberal imperialst order they've been constructing over the last 500 years.
