Enrolled in a class on Chinese politics and the first lecture was so unbelievably chock-full of lib talking points. Some that I can recall:

  • calling China a “closed autocracy” and “authoritarian”
  • mentioned that when surveyed, Chinese people rate the level of democracy in their country higher than Americans do for theirs, but with the caveat that they could be under “censorship”
  • showed the “democracy map” that’s just this international-community-1 international-community-2 and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale
  • showed this chart that was literally like “Stalin and Mao killed more people than Hitler!!!” lenin-dont-laugh

There was also language about how the Core Socialist Values get “hammered” into people’s heads in China, which definitely doesn’t happen in the free West sans-troll

Might be a long semester if I stay in this course cringe

Edit: class has been dropped kel-bliss

      We absolutely are, though, Mao himself agreed!

      We have gone through (or are currently going through, it’s a continuous process) the effort of actually washing our brains free of the propaganda and indoctrination of capitalist society, and we’re all the better for it.
