Sometimes it really is malice. Now, one could make the argument that being a shill for a totalitarian government does, in fact, make one an idiot. Useful, or otherwise.
Ad hominem and red-baiting, how original…
I couldn't care less about the Chinese government, but it does annoy me constantly hearing the smearing and the ignorant lies about China, seeing the hostility not only towards the government but also assaults against Chinese and Asian people in general.
The American empire was built on colonialism, slavery, genocide and racial exploitation, and the current hostilities are merely a continuation of that. America first. American exceptionalism.
Then it was the Chinese exclusion act, the Pigtail ordinance, the Anti-coolie act, and the Page act. Now it is the China exclusion policy, constant interference in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet, the "China virus", "lab leak" conspiracy hypothesis &c ad infinitum. It never stops, the "yellow peril" is a constant with you.
Thankfully, that is all about to change, as the pandemic, the inflation, the political turbulence, and the gerontocratic leadership will accelerate the downfall. It is going to be a pleasure seeing the American empire die, not just for me, but for the majority of people in the world.
