I’m not that active on mainland social media (or any other social media tbh…) but my partner’s mentioned material about current events, the cultural revolution and the failed colour revolution in 1989 are heavily regulated but not to the point that westerners will joke about “lul nothing happened in tinyman 1989 gabillion genocide” as the PRC has records/statements on these events.

This domestic incident caused a huge outroar recently for example and rightfully so because of how heinous it was. But usually when any incident like this occurs, you will have many accounts coming out and blaming the government and ‘authoritarian system’ like somehow such incidents would be fixed by transitioning to a US style system… yeah. Asian Boss is a bit iffy but you can tell by these comments that we’re not the brainwashed bots that Westerners may claim lol (Link 1, Link 2).

For the past few decades (roughly 80s to the 2010s) pro-western propaganda has been extremely prevalent which has produced a large amount of pro-western liberals, including those in the education sector. We’ve seen professors openly whitewash the crimes of imperial Japan to even some calling for the government to “fully denuclearize/disarm to rebuild trust with the USA”. This wave had been slowed somewhat after Xi took the reins and the US regime ramping up the anti-PRC bullshit beginning with the Obama regime’s shift to “rebalance Asia”. Trump’s rhetoric and the current situation helps a little to wake up quite a few from the dream of coexisting peacefully with the US.

Recent attempts to destroy the PRC have gone unmentioned in the west, such as this incident after the ‘Tunisian revolution’ in 2010/2011. This US official took to the streets to witness what he expected to be the beginning of an “Arab spring” situation but he was identified by citizens, leading to him running away after being questioned “why are you here, do you really want to destroy us that much?”.

From the perspective of someone who wants access to have fun and have ready access to all material this is terrible, because no freedom and all that. But take a look at the Urumuqi riots, the HK riots and every fucking time the west and its US masters has attempted to instigate the smallest fucking thing to light a powder keg and destroy a country and rob it of everything it has. Do we really want to repeat the tragedy of the USSR tenfold just because having access to youtube and porn is nice?

Seen a similar comment on the Russophobic subreddit before it was brigaded, that there was no better patriotic education than to have a Russian/Chinese user have a conversation with the average westerner on somewhere like Reddit. They may go in expecting friendly exchanges but after being subjected to all the brainrot and “you deserve to be exterminated” type of sentiment nowadays, it’s pretty hard to not be pushed away unless you’re a hardcore self-hater with delusions of destroying your own just for some pointless recognition.

To quote Mao “帝国主义亡我之心不死”, as long as any western imperialist exists, they’ll never give up on trying to destroy us.

To ask one of our members currently in the PRC, @arisu_magatoroido@lemmygrad.ml 同学你对这个有什么见解吗？可能我的资料有些过时呢。。。
