Title. It seems like the US is becoming desperate for power and generally decaying; citizens are becoming more class conscious, leftism seems to be rising, etc.

But at the same time I constantly see people defending the US to no end and tons of propaganda, especially on Reddit’s front page. It seems like people still indulge in russophobia (especially recently) and especially sinophobia and believe all state talking points. People are defending Biden not doing what he promised, defending being exploited and lied to. I could go on.

Overall, I see more people that are still defending the US and bootlicking daily (especially during this war) compared to people who gain class consciousness. What do you think?

    Are you aware that they just passed a bill (America Competes Act) where they detailed the setting aside of hundreds of millions of dollars just for anti-China propaganda? Also, have you heard of Operation Earnest Voice? If not, look it up. There’s video evidence and stuff.

    These guys are the OG wumao for real.

      300 USD million annual plus a one off 500 USD million. That’s a lot of money to play with.

      Wait did that bill actually get passed in both house and Senate? Last I read about it, the house passed it and the Senate has been jerking itself off since then, as is tradition.

      That doesn’t mean it won’t pass; actually the funding might keep growing bigger and bigger as the two chambers continue kicking it back and forth.

        That would just be money specifically allocated for propaganda. They still have plenty of other sources to draw from, for example funding given to the National Endowment for Democracy.
