As a Chinese-American, sadly I can confirm that in my experience, most Chinese-Americans are pretty brainwashed by Western propaganda and hate/are ashamed of China or being Chinese at some level. Personally, I love and support China and the government but I’m afraid to openly admit that. Once I just simply said “I got friends in China” and a (History) teacher whipped his head around and screamed “WHAT!?!” And gave me the most evil glare. I’ve had a college professor literally tell the class that Chinese people have no concept of love.
I don’t know how internalized the propaganda actually is for Chinese Americans, or if they’re just simply afraid of vocalizing support of an “enemy” country while knowing that every person surrounding you has an insane irrational hatred of China and all chinese people and literally want blood.
The plea deal probably: agree to be an imperial propagandist or die in a mysterious accident.
It sounds like they’re not just admitting to this, but admitting to creating thousands of accounts on all US controlled social media platforms since 2001 to influence everyone.
Why are they admitting this?
Why is Reuters claiming that propagandizing Americans was not allowed when, I believe, the patriot act gave them permission to do just that? And it’s very obvious lots of users on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube etc all glow so bright you could light a city?
I feel this is sort of a damage control thing. Admitting to something they perceive as less horrible (with lame justifications) in order to continue hiding the larger campaign being performed on the English speaking internet. Like a sort of “ok we’re bad, we did this thing and we admit it, there is nothing else we’re hiding ok?”
I recall operation songbird (?) was this exact thing?
I don’t have any sources, just what I remember. So please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Also why is the military the ones doing this? Does the CIA outsource their dumber operations to the military?
And once again why are they even admitting to any of this?
