Is there like, a good amount of cases where an anti-communist talking point gets exaggerated or flanderized over time? The only one I can think of rn is the one with the Uyghurs thing in China where it went from a "cultural genocide" to an "actual genocide" according to these fuckers. Just curious if there are more cases of this shit.

I think you've been out of the loop for very long, because now, for example:

The presence of 2 teapots in a certain seat of the National People's Congress of the PRC indicates a power struggle and dominance of Xi Jinping against "mere political opponents" (whereas before, a wacky power struggle would be indicated loudly and publicly, as such by public polemics, during the Cultural Revolution)

The absence of Kim Jong Un in 2020 indicates he has died, even though he appeared back again (whereas before, in the Soviet Union, when nobody heard of Stalin in a long time during the 1930s-1940s, some thought he died)

Name any more new anti-communist claims and they're more likely a rhythm of what was said before in the past....
