And by the way, using GLF is the same as critising USA for the bloody civil war, in the sense that both are internal affairs, albeit the former is much more stupid and needlessly barbaric.

How can you judge a country more by its internal affairs than its external crimes?

Thank you for this intelligent comment.

“What’s the alternative?” assumes an Anglo Saxon perspective with pre-conceived ideals. To the Chinese, as well as some other cultures, the same question is indeed pondered quite carefully upon. And therefore the western answer to that question cannot be automatically and forcefully applied to other cultures. This is the source of many modern conflicts.

My point is that the west cannot think that because American hegemony was good for some parts of the world, it is good for ALL of the world. Context of reality matters.

Anyway, my original point is how information is directed and digested these days with emotion rather than logic.

It’s really interesting when you compare the atrocities that USA has done and the atrocities China has done, with the response to each of them. The former is critised but not villianised, while the latter recieved both far out of proportion. Idc about CCP or china, more interested in information wars and how stupid and easily manipulated the average person is. Really really shows how insidious and powerful western propaganda is. Reddit is a fine example of western echo chamber…
