How Propaganda Gets Transmitted from China to Leftist Influencers.
Coronavirus is not the only thing that comes from China—social justice talking points do too.

Quick excerpt:
Social justice Twitter is working hard to blame Trump for the coronavirus. Instead of pulling together to ease the panic, urge social distancing and other efforts to combat the virus, and hold China accountable for putting it out in the first place—virtue signalers are unable to put politics aside for even the briefest of moments.

The clear transmission of misinformation from the mouths of Chinese state officials to the thumbs of tweeting SJWs paints a clear, alarming picture of how placidly the left is willing to absorb and proliferate CCP propaganda.

Of course, since 2016, the American left has been obsessed with the question of misinformation. Convinced that the election of Donald Trump can only be attributed to Ukrainian click farms, a tremendous amount of focus and money has been invested in exposing how Russia is to blame for the popularity of conservative ideas—populism be damned.

It is bizarre how your main interest in this situation seems to be partisan

Do you think this is really relevant?

All I'm doing is reacting to what the left is doing. You would simply prefer that the left go unchallenged.
You spam rightwing talking points non stop, but I guess it is ok when you do it, typical Republicon.

let’s just assume for the sake of argument that people on the left are being whiny bitches

Is it helpful to escalate that by being a whiny bitch back?

would John Wayne get into a shouting match with a wench from the saloon?

Yeah, the leftist press screeching that Trump is a racist for calling this the "China virus" is getting tiresome. They are protecting the communist dictatorship which, at best, fostered the markets which incubated and spread this virus, and hid the spread by arrests and "disappearances".

At worst, China created this epidemic.

All true, but what good does it do to increase tensions?

It discourages the public from believing socialists like you who tell us that sucking up to a communist dictatorship and buying cheap goods from them have no real consequences. The consequences are real and dire.

I can't get some of the things I need anywhere but China. The Administrations which permitted and fostered the migration of these businesses without consequences are wrong.

Thank your big business Republicans.

Funny how you claim that Republicans represent "big business" as it was Democrat administrations which presided over the structured migration of technology overseas with no tariff consequences. Funny how China got away with targeted tax money stimulation of these industries without response from Democrat administrations. They took over markets while Washhington fiddled.

Funny now how, instead of joining me in condemning this technology migration, you are attempting to turn the blame on conservatives, the enemies of the socialist beneficiaries.

It was certainly bi partisan, however the loudest opponents of it were on the left. Remember the WTO protests or occupy?

I never said anyone should go unchallenged, that’s your wheelhouse.

and “reacting” is a childish excuse. You’re just as bad, but mostly worse, than the lefties you screech about.

own it.
