The convo WILL come up. China bad, New Putin just dropped, Save Taiwan, other stupid shit. So my question is how do we control the narrative from start to finish on this one before the media takes a strong hold? I.E, convince your friends and family about China and how they are the better ones in this situation. But I kinda wanna be more resolute in my beliefs, lmk if there’s anything that will change a lot of people’s minds(before the MSM brainwashes them and creates one acceptable narrative, like with UKR rn)
Not sure it is possible for the generations who get their “news” from MSM ever since Clinton’s Telecommuniction Act handed media control over to corporate monopolies. Even Tik Tok is now overrun with government propaganda. What anticapitalist media does exist is now being denied access to an audience. What good is a message yelled in an empty room?
The misinformation isn’t exactly what I’m worried about so much as them getting a “preemptive strike” so to speak. Saying their nonsense before I get a word in to friends and family. My family doesn’t watch much news, so if I tell them the truth, they usually sniff out the bullshit soon after.
The best thing you can do is keep your cool. And ask thoughtful, pointed questions and do not for the love of all that is holy, make the person you are speaking to feel personally attacked. Second, pick your battles. If you know that who you are talking to will get an aneurysm if you say that the uyghurs aren’t being genocided, just find something else they’re more willing to listen to.
I’m not being facetious when I say be like water; find the path of least resistance and go from there.
Idk: read on the correct handling of contradiction by Mao. I’m studying that atm.
That’s sorta the reason I wanna get ahead of MSM on this one, literally bc of the Uyghurs. I beat MSM on that for my parents. My mom was watching the news and she heard some talking head saying China bad and the word genocide caught her attention. She asked what’s happening and I basically explained that Mike Pompeo came up with a fake genocide accusation like a week before Trump left. I explained the East Turkmenistan Terror movements and the attacks in China, etc. My mom was super receptive to it, to the point that when my Dad saw it on TV a week or 2 later my mom basically said “don’t worry about it, they’re drumming up ratings, put on Baseball”. So if I can get ahead of MSM on their biggest smear campaign of China, this should be a piece of cake
