But what if the person, whos always been wrong without fail and always lies about everything, is actually right this time?

[-] Giyuu@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

What if my wishful thinking is true

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 51 points 1 year ago

It's generally a good thing that libs think China is collapsing since that means US will continue to underestimate China and make strategic mistakes.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

Yea maybe we'll have another round of everybody agreeing China is lying about their military capabilities again.

Unrelated, anybody seen my F-35 there's a light sprinkle in the forecast so I gotta get it covered up.

Sorry, we had to take it before the US military found it, and put some fake alien crap there to fool them

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure these people who believe this stuff are in positions of power though. I would imagine the US ruling class are more acutely aware of what is really going on.

On the other hand, some of their actions only make sense if they believe their own bullshit, so I really have no idea.

[-] StugStig@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Being given access to accurate intel is no guarantee that they actually leverage it to form their own views.

There are anecdotes of US officials using mainstream media to spoonfeed them their positions on issues as they can't be assed to do anything resembling actual work.

Pretty funny that all the self-hating liberals they funded ended up tricking their handlers themselves lol.

In their fanatic bid to become honorary aryans they instead became the strategic fool you agency. 🐶

@yogthos @Trudge

There are liberals who vote and then there are liberals who are elected or own significant capital and actually make decisions. Some of them even have assets that are very dependent on the Chinese economy, company stocks in various exported consumer goods and technology. I doubt they are consuming their own propaganda with respect to China.

At least this person seems a little sensible. I feel they believe it because a "reputable" outlet like WSJ is the publisher.

[-] luchuan@lemmygrad.ml 43 points 1 year ago

The self awareness into faceplanting into the propaganda lmfao

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Most important election of our lives!!

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

[-] SweaterWeather@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

Oh well if the Wall Street Journal said it

[-] StugStig@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago

US mainstream media isn't even trustworthy for predicting the US economy.

They downplayed if not outright denied the potential causes of the Great Recession until well after it had already occurred. They then portrayed the Great Recession "from the perspective of the Obama Administration and big business" manipulating the empathy of their audience in order to serve the interests of their true masters.

[-] Beat_da_Rich@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Conditions in America are currently worse than the Great Depression by pretty much every metric related to working people. And the media is blatantly pretending it's not happening.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Ignoring what's actually happening and clinking wine glasses together to celebrate yet another "China about to collapse" article paired with one of their brunchmates' "sorry, hate to break it to you poors, but bad thing is good actually" editorials making it to publication.

the food prices went up again, do not worry, enjoy the opportunity to lose some weight and learn to cook a delicious full meal with only starch and javascript

"The US doesn't do propaganda."

[-] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

yeah, being homeless and starve is nice because imaginary line go brrrrr

lol saw an Australian news video which was like

"unemployment went up, but that's actually a good thing and a sign of a healthy economy. Now onto news of China's economic meltdown"

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 year ago

Least gullible liberal

[-] TheGamingLuddite@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

This is actually just enrichment for them. Kind of like a cat knows that they won't catch a laser pointer if they chase it, they just want to exercise their natural hunting instinct.

[-] notceps@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

The cat actually doesn't know and if that's the only form of enrichment they can get incredibly stressed out because they are never able to catch anything, so people should give their cats something real to chase after using a laser pointer.

[-] TheGamingLuddite@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Really? That's sad, my kitty loves the laser pointer. I need to get her one of those string toys to play with after now.

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not sure how true that is.

Cats don't literally think they're hunting when you play with them, since cats don't pur when they're hunting.

I've two cats, the more sociable cat that can play with people/animals without hurting them shows excitement as soon as I pick up the laser pen.

The one that can only play with toys ignores the laser pen.

They both understand they're not going to catch anything, and the one that only enjoys catching things doesn't engage.

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

americans are the most propagandized people on earth

[-] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

It's easier to believe in something you want to happen. The "hope people will be ok" part is just so no one realizes they are a piece of shit.

[-] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

chinas economy is tankieing.

poking with a stick meme come on collapse already

I’m obviously not suggesting that they’re gonna collapse or anything stupid like that, but are they in a deflation or not because the media is talking about it a lot. At this point I don’t even know if they’re taking facts and twisting them to suit their narrative or if they’re just making it the fuck up

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago

mfers be like 'china has too many houses this is bad'

I FUCKING WISH WE HAD TOO MANY HOUSES

[-] Beat_da_Rich@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Had a friend today give me a "whatabout China's real estate crisis?"

This was in a conversation about American police brutality... JFC

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago

whats next?

too many doctors?

too much food?

fucking liberals

[-] Trudge@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I've been reading about China's real estate crisis since I was a child. I suspect that I will be reading about it until the day I die.

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

An american talking about a real estate crisis about other country is funny af. DUDE YOU LIVE IN A REAL ESTATE CRISIS!!!

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Deflation is actually a good thing lol.

This is what I’m very confused about. I read before that deflation is a sign of a slowdown/recession in the economy but like also having your current worth more/prices going down sounds objectively good to me? Is there any good Devil’s advocate position that can put forth any negatives for deflation because China certainly doesn’t seem like a slowing economy to me.
