I'm advocating for people to think critically and not fall for propaganda just because "pretty much everyone is in agreement" about something. I proved that you were wrong about China, and what did you do? You moved the goal posts and attacked me for something else.
Also, not all propaganda is bad. Government propaganda that promotes public safety is good. Government propaganda that promotes war is bad. You have to engage with propaganda critically and not just go with the flow whenever you get your marching orders on CNN.
They're marching us towards war with China and you're falling for it.
I'll link it again.
Look at any timeline of events. The CDC was alerted by China on the first of January! There's literally no basis for this idea that China was hiding anything. You just heard that lie over and over and now you believe it, based on nothing.
We aren't at war with China, but you have been so propagandized that you believe we've always been at war with Eastasia.
