PSA: these kinds of threads are a great way to create blocklists of western bootlickers and trolls.

Everyone is brainwashed except for you.

Nah, just people who uncritically regurgitate propaganda, and screech about everybody who disagrees with them being a Russian puppet and a tankie whatever that means.

My friend, I would like to remind you as gently as possible that brainwashing does not exist and was in fact an orientalist lie popularized to explain away why US soldiers would support China.

Yeah, that's a fair point. It's important to keep in mind that people are accepting the propaganda because they want to believe it and they understand that it serves their selfish interests.

The most offensive part of being called a tankie is being called British.
