    It really doesn’t help that China has been a hot topic, for decades. You can say nothing but the simple truth and someone will call it propaganda or say you’re a paid shill, for saying something consistently known as truth.

      Well the weirdest thing to me is I am saying China becoming the world’s super power will lead to genocide. Not caused by China itself, but by China’s inactions. And my proof is historical from Sudan and Myanmar. Yet people are calling me a pro-China shill? It’s odd at best.

        The problem is you’re not saying the magic words. Actually parsing an argument is out of fashion, so you gotta sprinkle your posts with stuff like “free Taiwan” or “fuck Putin” or whatever, so the LLM they paste your posts into to summarise them can understand them.
