anti-China content dominates the news cycle so thoroughly, and is so uncontroversial at this point that I think it’s easy to forget that there was a time when it didn’t. the way that (white) Americans on the left and the right have united behind a warmongering vitriol for China and literally anything it does is fucking terrifying and the resulting racist violence should not be shocking

this is not normal, this is not natural, this is what manufactured consent looks like. this is what media manipulation looks like.
America does not have a free press it has a private press the two are not equivalent and couldn’t be more different all the major news outlets belong to a handful of private corporations and always tell narratives which serve the interests of their influential financial patrons this hegemonic anti-China rhetoric is the natural result of America’s private ministry of propaganda.
