Damn imagine. They really should be paying us tbh, we do some good work lmao. But yeah, to be serious, it always seems wild that China would actively be paying people to do this shit, like have they considered that we actually are just ideologically kind of aligned with the CPC? Much more easy conclusion to come to imo, Occam's Razor and all that.

As one of the people who just got here, I do kind of like that lemmygrad seems kind of closed off from the rest. Because lots of "leftist" places back on Reddit would eventually be taken over by SocDems or Libs once they got big enough, so just having a place where they just wont go seems nice. Dunno if brigading by libs is a thing that happens often here though? Haven't been here long enough to know.

Yeah the good old joke about the west being so good at propaganda that "there is no propaganda in the west" is very applicable here. I know quite a few good people, who are just not media literate enough to understand when they are being duped. And to be fair, the propaganda is constant, and from birth. To be anti-NATO in a NATO country is not something you just stumble into being, you actually have to read, and actively understand how the world works.

Not trying to excuse anyone here by the way, it just makes me sad when people I otherwise have liked fall to propaganda. I hope they learn, they are still young, and god knows I had some stupid beliefs when I was 18-20 years old.
