Hehe .. I get it. I do not dispute that. You think I wanna be over there? And be put under arrest by the speech police for speaking my mind?There is no free speech or free judiciary in China. A pretty big difference off the bat when it comes to political freedom and nationalism. China's sole political party controls it's own military, one currently on an expansionist agenda towards multiple countries at the same time. There is simply no analog to the political situation in China here in the States. The country is run by a single guy with an iron fist who does not care about other people's ideas, he's not even a fan of actual history so the entire country has to 'learn' his special version of Chinese and world history. State media there is consolidated, it doesn't have separate special interests and doesn't argue with itself like the right wing echo chamber does here in the States.
Look at the police state and social credit score bullshit. Nationalism is a problem in many places, but thankfully there are many areas in which the US isn't even a weak analog for it. China ranks second only to North Korea on that scale I'm afraid. The US has it's problems, but you don't see us setting up re education and forced labor camps for an entire ethnic group, right?
Strait up Nazi shit, even down to making movies about this and trying to sell the narrative these folks are better here than at home; they're having fun, acquiring new skills blah blah blah. In reality these people are tortured if they don't speak Mandarin, work, or comply with the CCPs social engineering efforts. Lots of torture. Widespread sterilization of women. MSS agents put in civilian houses to replace imprisoned fathers.
It's no contest.
That was not my point.
As different as the two countries be on all those points, both operating bodies relies on blasting disinformation into citizens faces in order to survive.
And in terms of America it is also by design. I think this board calls it late stage capitalism. Das Kapital feedback loop into the electoral to produce even greater Kapital to create even greater Fox OANN propaganda efforts, repeat repeat repeat. Citizen United was the death blow.
