    China even admitted operating some illegal “police stations” in my country after they shut those down themselfs

    Lol

    When I see my government, or US government, or the EU, do some bullshit, I don’t immediately start thinking about how it was actually a move to defend from Chinese or Russian forces.

    Honestly I don’t believe you, I see it all the time, liberals constantly defending US imperialism in the name of stopping RuZZians or the evil Chinese commies.

    So, it’s not just about this particular LGBT center, it’s about this mentality of trying to come up with any reason of why the (usually Chinese) government is actually doing good thing.

    Oh I’m sorry, is finding a reason for a given action now explicit 100% support of said government’s actions? Most of the time, yes, China is correct in blocking US interference, because they’re one of the remaining socialist nations who, after being opened up with American help, is now being backstabbed and made out to be the enemy by the US political class. The reason why we “defend” these nations and many decisions they make is explicitly because (a) they’re one of the remaining Actually Existing Socialist states left, (b) often, these countries are blockaded, or are active enemies and targets of Western political propaganda which means the news/media/social media is geared towards misinformation, disinformation and fake news on AES states. Because of this, us explaining how something isn’t true is always met with the response that we’re Russian or Chinese bots, because everyone has to believe in liberalism/conservatism and the superiority of Western Civilization™ and nothing else.

    Isn’t that the ultimate win of propaganda, when people no longer need government to falsely justify it’s actions, because they do the justification themselves?

    Isn’t it the ultimate win of propaganda when the population believes they’re not propagandised?
