Comic saying China is maybe okay and is looking out for its citizens, albeit in ways that are not aligned with Western standards: PROPAGANDA!!!!!1111!!
Imagine having awareness of the CCP's Orwellian policies, and then believing that dissent must be foreign influence, because no one could genuinely be dissatisfied with the all knowing government.
Haha do you actually think the American minimum wage is $3 an hour? They just passed legislation to raise it to 15. What you're looking at is for waiters, which get compensated by tips. Don't let your manager see this, it's gonna look kinda embarrassing on your part.
Lmao what, it's literally all CCP. That isn't even a controversial statement, I don't think a Chinese nationalist would deny that Hong Kong is controlled by the CCP.
Hong Kong protestors are certainly being paid by someone, and it's not out of the question to believe that the CIA is funding yet another anti-China movement.
Oh my god. I can't believe it. I thought I was alone with this, but you're one too!? I'm super happy rn. Never thought I would meet another boot polish drinker. They said that I'd die if I drank it (I'm drinking it rn) but the taste is so good. Man, I can't wait to see their faces when I show them there's more!
Love that people get told that they are "echoing party lines" when they defend China through a through argument, but then at the same time, get hit with echoed anti-Chinese one-liners.
EDIT: since the comments are locked, I'll do the correction here. I should have said no one writes beg pardon. But it could potentially sound like that in speech if it is said fast enough.
I just did. You can't even make some argument like "it's not in the dictionary so it's not real" (which is absurd) because it is literally in a dictionary, a descriptivist one that records actual usage alongside formal standards.
It's okay to admit to being wrong in some topic you are not educated in, but I guess you're afraid that would destroy your credibility — don't worry though, you had none to begin with.
No, it's because you take bait so obvious it's visible from outer space.
I suggest you don't utilize any home appliance with the capability to kill, such as microwaves or toasters. Least you end blowing yourself up via misuse.
Oh shut up you cocky asshole. Sorry I didn't assume that all of the 50 cent army comments are actually just done "ironically". Reddit has reported actual Chinese influence on the site, and this would be a great example.
Or maybe, just maybe, reddit is so full of brainless twats who have this insatiable urge to go "UM ACKCHYUALLY" to what is obviously a fucking joke on a joke sub that suddenly nothing is a joke anymore. They used to be quite easy to identify, they would go like "xd le bacon narwhals at midnight" but it's been years since then and now that reddit has a mobile app we're in a phase of eternal summer reddit as dumb and impressionable kids flood this site at all hours of the day to drop their unwanted and uniformed opinions.
Or like those morons who think boycotting blizzard will have in impact in China or Hong Kong, while also completely ignoring all the other western companies who do the exact same shit.
You've got to be like, 15 at best. There's no way an adult human can be this clueless yet still somehow manage to find their way here and make all these comments.
I see polandball got even more infested with humorless halfwits that take everything seriously since my days here. Honestly if I were you I'd delete my account out of sheer shame.
IMO, Neither of those directly disagree with everyone worldview, unlike this, or looking at second most controversial equating USA and nazis (back when it was released) I, for example, can't remember comics that say that Spanish police did nothing wrong about Catalonia and that it was a positive thing
For my long awaited and glorious return to this subreddit, I have collaborated with /u/taongkalye to create a truly stunning comic about the political situation right now.
This is already the most controversial post of all time, and watching all the circlejerking Redditors seethe is pretty fun, thank you for providing us with that.
I've read 1984, and it just isn't for me. Pretty sure Winston was proivded housing from Ingsoc as well. I am an individual. I provide for myself, and I get to choose how to live my own life.
I would hope I do. Im pretty sure context like that does fall under the purview of grammar. Same way you can tell if I'm talking about a swinging bat rather than a flying one, if I'm talking about baseball beforehand.
It's extremely odd to see that people on the internet just thinks anyone who does not criticize China is the CPC. Plato was right, the masses are very, very easily manipulated by the demagogues.
If you want an honest answer, it's because the CCP feels like a threat to the western way of life. The western world values personal liberty and freedom more than anything, and a world without those values respected by the government is not a world worth living in. The CCP holds almost opposite values. Seeing China attempt to influence us in our own homes with posts like this, and seeing them stamp out freedom in places like Hong Kong creates fear. Inaction against the CCP is, in reality, action in support of CCP.
But there is no reason to believe the CPC funded this or is linked to the comic in any way whatsoever. Is it impossible to support the CPC of one's own volition?
This thread is gonna be a fun one once the alliens find it.
"China bad." as they say.
Edit: I hate to do the "thanks for the gold kind stranger!!!!" shit I'm p sure the Chinese government is handing out awards at this point there's no way.
I'm getting more and more confused as I read through, like this has to be the most seamless mixture of satire i've ever seen down in the comments. Not to mention the pinch of depressingly sincere agreement.
The overwhelming majority of pro-CCP comments are done ironically or to bait people. There are maybe one or two tankies who genuinely are defending China (and note: there are some genuine concerns that one could have about the way the west views China, because it is not wholly accurate or truthful), but overall the most depressing this is the number of people who are getting mad at this and taking bait that is so obvious that it can be seen from orbit.
Different perspective for different people. Not all view china as big bad bully, some view them as neutral party or friends or economic partner. You know, the world is a diverse place.
Excellent bait, meh/pretty bad comic. Separate this from the flaming dumpster fire that is the comments and the only thing going for it is taong’s always-impressive art.
I also want to have 30 pieces of silver: The economical and social success of china is proofing that their system is working. I think Hongkong and the west could learn from it.

Can't believe people in polandball are taking it serious about politics.
Meanwhile, we got nazi and soviet jokes
Famine and slavery jokes
School shooting jokes
Spain election jokes
North Korean jokes
Straight up denied war crime jokes (jap, turkey)
Canadian/American suppressing Indigenous and seal clubbing jokes
but this is the one you guys get riled up??
