Imagine opposing fascism while supporting the one guy that was worse than hitler.
Its not “some” of the broadcasters, it ALL the broadcasters. china is in full censorship mode on this guy.
Their censorship isn’t working anymore. The walls are breaking down, people are using VPNs, and Chinese people are talking to us on western social media sites. They can still believe it’s all western propaganda lies, but they can’t hide from the truth anymore.
In case anyone thought China was a serious country, this is a good reminder.
How is that even insulting?
He called Mao a dictator. Apparently stating indisputable facts is unacceptable.
Mao has called himself a dictator which is the real irony here…
Oh man, don’t insult Mohammad either. These people. Jokes.
That said, Americans get so angry when you insult America…. Even when they are choking on it.
What are you talking about? They don’t make it a criminal offense to broadcast anyone insulting America. In fact they have people whose job is to go on TV and make jokes about how stupid America is. They have entire networks dedicated to talking about how much they hate the current administration. Insulting America is like an American national pasttime.
Compare that to China where every news network messaging is enforced by the state, and saying anything else is illegal.
Like with Obama’s joke about Trump this week saying that the White House renovations made the building look like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”.
The GOP flipped out about the cheesecake factory part, but not about the comparison to Saddam.
For those not in the know, Trump’s style of decorating has a name that existed long before 2016, it’s called “dictator chic” and it is the same decorating style Saddam, Qaddafi, other dictators and drug lords embrace.
The GOP flipped out about the cheesecake factory part, but not about the comparison to Saddam.
A strategic decision to twist this into insulting middle class white people, rather than comparing Trump to a historic National Enemy.
It flopped, in large part because Republicans have fully forgotten how to meme. But it’s the standard conservative racism jujitsu.
how dare you call my house a McMansion!
“Hmm, how can I make this about America being bad? 🤔”
Haha. 4 days left.
Until the wrong people start rioting?
Well, who are the wrong people?
And that means the wrong people are on which side of the line?
That’s an exercise left to the reader
“The election was stolen/rigged….”
So the ones who rigged it or the ones who didn’t?
As an American who also insults America this thread doesn’t make me mad at anything more than how people stupidly hold another ape up as a paragon and then argue whether they were shitty or not.
Why do they even like Mao so much? Dude was only good for helping them get the country. Literally nothing else.
Why do they even like Mao so much?
Same reason Americans love George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Adam Smith.
He’s a Founding Father of the modern nation, a spiritual progenitor of their economic philosophy, and a guy with tons of media to play up as nostalgia bait for the Chinese equivalent MAGA nationalists.
You’ll see Chinese nationalists leap to his defense the same way you see American nationalists get Big Mad when you talk about Jefferson raping his father-in-law’s illegitimate slave daughter. Or reminding them why the White House is that color and under which President it happened.
Same reason Americans love George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Adam Smith.
The average Americans have never heard of Adam Smith.
And the ones that have studied him are aware that he was a critic of capitalism, not a proponent of it.
I’ve never understood the stereotype that Americans idolize a bunch of old white guys from the 1700s.
Most people I know don’t give a single shit about them, and the ones that do are very vocal about their dislike of them.
It’s pretty widely accepted that they were all garbage human beings by today’s standards.
If you mean Republicans idolizing them but only in specific circumstances that support bigoted worldviews, then sure.
Yeah, doesn’t look like you guys are beating the stereotype of supporting garbage people
Okay, makes sense.
He’s meant to be a legendary figure.
