The Economist on its way to Proving Lenin He Was right everytime they make a dumb Article
Yeah, I know they were wrong the last 187 times about China, but this time they’re totally right and China will collapse any day now!
Though this isn’t actually about China, not really. This isn’t an analysis, it’s soothing balm for liberals. It’s telling them “the enemy” isn’t to be feared because they will destroy themselves through their lack of whiteness strange oriental ways incompetence and lack of “civility.”
They constantly put out articles like this to tell the people that no matter how bad things get in the west, and no matter how good things seem to be getting in China, that’s all just theater and China is automatically worse by default, regardless of what evidence, statistics or reality say.

It’s the same process they use to justify whatever war the United States currently happens to be waging. “Sure, the US government lied to us about Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., but this time is different, I swear!”
Like the old proverb goes: Fool me once, shame on you fool me a hundred times, and I just might be a lib.
I always tell myself people will wake up when they realize how much better their lives get while ours get worse and worse, but even when I talk about their poverty alleviation, growing middle class, green energy initiatives etc. people just kind of blank and don’t say much. The truth is already so far distant from what people are taught it’s like they think I’m lying or being lied to.
Yeah, that’s kind of the problem. They’ve been trained to think that China just “lies” about everything, and only the clever western media sees through those lies (even when those “lies” are information independently collected by the UN or other organisations.)
They want China to be the bad guy, so China can’t ever do anything positive. It’s always a bad guy, doing bad guy things.
CHINA’S COVID FAILURE
which country has over a million COVID deaths again?
You don’t even need to go too deep into the narrative honestly, just headlines like this are memorable enough to me.
April '20New York City reports a record 800-plus coronavirus deaths in one day
May '21 Bodies of Covid-19 victims are still stored in refrigerated trucks in NYC
Anyone that thinks the US handling wasn’t a humanitarian disaster just deserves to suffer the same kind of death honestly, fuck these idiots when the reality as reported by own western MSM isn’t enough to convince them. Libs that believe China COVID narrative are just as stupid as chuds and deserve the same fate.
Beat me to it…like until they lifted the lockdown (will of the people…you know, actual democracy) weren’t the deaths in the tens of thousands or something? For a country more than 3x the size of the U.S.?? Fucking insane. I guess unless you measure success by corporate profits.
All this propaganda layed out like that makes them look… weird, and sad, like a jealous ex that’s obsessed with you and is like, hate-stalking you, but for a country.
