Before I welcome you all to this weeks Discusstion post I would like to mention that as many of you know, the Former prisident of the Peoples Republic of China, our Comrade Jiang Zemin passed away on November 30th of leukemia. I would like to wish, on behalf of the mod team of GenZedong, and I hope on behalf of the community that we wish our Comrade, Jiang Zemin to rest in peace, his memory shall not be forgotten.
With that out of the way, now I would like to welcome everybody agian! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there, all I ask is that you use a coaster as I just refinished all the tables. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!

Looking over the tweet about that Ukrainian soldier dancing again, the fix is officially in. Soooo many replies about how brave and lovely they are, complete infantilization. And anyone questioning why the government thinks it’s appropriate to post cute dances is being shouted down as a traitor or a Russian troll. The scariest thing about all of this is how so many people genuinely can’t see that they’re being conned. Ukraine is lying to our faces and America is just lapping it up.
Why wouldn’t it? This entire mess was a US project to begin with. Kiev authorities are only able to broadcast their BS around the globe because of the US media machine.
