Some gems, top comment aside:

"Our glorious peacekeepers in Rwanda, their barbarous peacekeepers in Sudan"

A lot of cope, but some of the subsequent threads on one of the biggest subreddits with begrudgingly tolerable views towards China is...interesting.

The funny part is that the whole story about Chinese peacekeepers is made up to begin with, and China already denied it.

Libs believe anything that makes Chinas look bad. They do not care about real events.

Same goes for [insert basically any country the USian/western empire is currently vilifying]. People will believe that the DPRK is executing people for listening to Kpop without even pausing to think about how ludicrous a notion that is. They've been conditioned to view the world through a cartoon lens of good and evil, and as the former CIA agent turned whistleblower John Stockwell phrased it, this was on purpose, that they portrayed things like the communists were "eating babies" level of evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK1tfkESPVY (a playbook that doesn't seem to have changed much over decades)

I always have to lol whenever I see a lib being very serious about some comically overblown made up shit. It's like a kid trying to tell me they saw a big scary monster in the woods.

The constant accusations of Trump being a Russophile utterly baffle me. Trump’s régime has imposed sanctions on the Russians, rejected a ceasefire deal with Moscow, and took dozens of other actions against the Russian Federation since his career in the White House began. He should be a hero in the eyes of the Democratic Party. I really don’t get it.

I can only assume that they’re peddling this accusation to distract us from the Democratic Party’s failures and the defects of the U.S. electoral system more generally, because otherwise it makes absolutely no sense.

I never understood it either. Both Americans and Europeans seem obsessed with the idea even though it makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever.

Liberals will believe literally anything so long as you tell them it happened in China or North Korea.

That last one is so vile. It crams so much racism into a few short sentences, we have the "inscrutable orientals" the "cowardly orientals" the "savage and lustful blacks" surprised they didn't throw in a comment about jews or arabs in there as well.
