it seems like the west suddenly focusing on ukraine. and straight up abandoned other topica such as uyghurs, hong kong etc.

    Westoids have very short attention spans. Whatever their media points at, they look at and ignore/forget everything else.

    Oh don’t worry they’re still finding ways to blame China for everything that happens

    Remember that most of the establishment media is owned by like 7 companies. All you have to do is convince 7 companies that your thing is important (and the people running those companies are all buddies) and they will say whatever you tell them to.

    Most of the previous narratives are really inconvenient now, so you should probably just forget about them, we hate (throws dart at dartboard) russia now.

    You can’t direct a sheep herd to all directions or you lose controll over the herd.

      This. I wanted to add my point, but you summed it up nicely. It is oversaturation of media, it plays on key biases of the human brain. The ones off the top of my head relevant here are confirmation bias, attentional bias, false consensus effect, in-group bias and the bias blind spot.

    The libs focus on what they’re told to focus on. It’s just that simple. In a few years (if we’re not all dry and crispy) when the truth is out about Ukraine people will swear they never believed it at the same time that they’re telling you the Chinese are planning to blow up the moon.

    I don’t think it’s just because of Ukraine. At this point it is pretty obvious that there isn’t a Uyghur Genocide. I mean it’s supposed to have been going on for what, 6 years now? And yet clearly the population still exists, and is going about their ordinary lives, in fact they’re more visible now than before since they’ve become deradicalised. Not to mention that there was never a massive refugee crisis or other obvious signs, while the only evidence we have is the same couple of prison photos being used over and over again. To be brutally honest, if China wanted to kill 12 million people they’d do it in about 6 months.

    I’ve seen it begin to be called a cultural genocide more and more, (which is bullshit) because its so obvious that there hasn’t been a real genocide. It was an attempt to destablise China, fund a terrorist movement in Xinjiang, and get the world to condemn and stop trading with China, but it didn’t work and it’s not possible to keep the lie going forever. They’ll just quietly forget about it and pretend they never said it.
