imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival's networks.

I think there's a simple desire to move to pastures new. "Use Instagrmam or Youtube Shorts or Snapchat" No, we've been there and done that.

Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival's social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.

It’s never too late to discard your patriotism to a state that doesn’t give a fuck about you. You don’t owe it your allegiance, be it Burgerland or India or whichever shitty capitalist state.

Patritoism?
I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.

Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I'll wait.

Lol, that's the worst attempts at spelling Tienanmen Square and Uyghurs I've seen yet, and I've seen a lot.

Tiananmen square is one of the most popular places in China, it'd be like saying Times square in new york city. You're referring to what they call the june 4th incident, and you can absolutely talk about it on chinese social media.

That's actually a cool website. Thanks.
EDIT : Apparently linked by the other commenter, but your work. Thanks.

What’s a “secret” are not those events, but the garbage that propagandized Westerners believe about those events.

So you’re right, the “genocide” is a “secret,” and the “massacre” is a “secret.”

Thanks for sharing.
This paints "massacre" as retaliation against CIA sponsered armed factions. Looks very much like what happened in Bangladesh recently, but unlike China CIA succeeded in Bangladesh.

No doubt the US will keep trying. It’s always working to regime change states that it can’t sufficiently control.

The blueprint of regime change operations

How does the US ban on TikTok thatbmakes people switch to rednote now fit this description?
