      It’s only condemnable if it’s white people that are dying. Muslims, of course, don’t count.

        You are aware they started that narrative for two reasons: 1) To distract from the fact they were radicalizing nazis in the area and 2) to drum up justification for a war with china. The only reason it’s still around despite the MOUNTAINS of evidence proving it wrong is because Americans are so fucking racist that they don’t even care that it’s blatantly bullshit because it gives them moral carte blanche to hate china.

                  You misunderstood. I’m taking your word as is.

                  Government propaganda is good to realize!

                  Let’s say we have a basket of apples. The world’s most powerful apples. And they all look rotten and diseased, we know the reasons which make them rotten, it’s peer reviewed and considered a fact.

                  So then we make a leap of faith. What if despite evvvvvvveeeerrrything, this one apple is actually pure and holy. And only a few know this for sure and they’re not letting anyone else know the proof.

                  That’s very wonderful but, kinda sketchy at the same time?

            Modded as misinfo, worth to check the modlog… There were no links to any fake news sites nor information commented, just a realization that apparently all reports of even different cases can’t possibly have any truth to them.

            Trump’s lawsuits could be an allegory. There’s so many of them and similarly all of them have to be fake I guess. No fire where there’s smoke

              Thanks for replying but I would really appreciate if you mentioned the specific topic or the context. I’m having quite some trouble understanding your previous comment without context.

                  You were referring to something by saying “it”. I just want to understand the context. I mean no offence. I apologise if my comments came across in any unintentional way. English isn’t my first language.

                    There is nothing to get. If you don’t understand that’s a good thing. You will be happier not knowing.
