The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.

It's just another pearl-clutching "what's wrong with today's youths" headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) "good ones" that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

A lot of American youth are just anti-america and uncritically reverse engineer their opinions based on that. That's how a bunch of tiktokers promoted bin ladens manifesto.

Are you sure about that buddy?

China, Qatar and Iran, buying Americans minds since 2000.

Investment is paying off.

What's funny is I can't tell if you're talking about younger Americans refusing to hate China or older Americans chanting "China Bad!"

[–] nekandro@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Both tbh

American failures are being used to prop up Chinese successes. This is particularly true in urbanism discussions. China is by no means perfect and thinking that they are is harmful to progress.

Perfection doesn't exist, but China is on the right track imo

Have we forgot about the fucking Uighur concentration camps? Suddenly there's no waitlist for organs after these camps start going up? China bad.

Edit: go educate yourself https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/genocide-of-the-uyghurs-in-western-china/forced-organ-harvesting

300,000 people are on the organ donor wait-list in China at this very moment.

You're a perfect example of the power of propaganda lol

Younger Americans will be friendly to any place that'll put up with them when Trump wins
