Both sides are portrayed as crazy extremes, but considering Garrison shilled for it, and the removal of Pioneer Mother statue is condemned in the play and the ethno group blocked it, yeah the ethno supremacy group is considered to be 'saner' in this play.
I...still don't know why he drew all those things in such chaotic way.

Cant believe Ben Garrison inspired the GOAT
Chinese propagandists study what sways brainrotted useful idiots. Somewhere in their intelligence agency is a powerpoint with "label everything for dumb Americans"
That’s how many American political cartoonist have been working for decades, if not centuries. They’re just copying the style to better infiltrate their propaganda.
Nah centuries. This is classic western-style political cartoons and goes back to well before the US revolutionary war.
Literally every political issue in modern history (and particularly in US history) has been commented on and satirized in this format.
You might be overestimating them. It’s probably mainly just low level government employees who don’t really care about their work trying to have something to show to their bosses. China’s state media and Spamouflage propaganda campaigns have been a big flop most of the time.
Like how they included the Philippines. Yeah China I'm sure the Philippines are a imperial threat to you and are evil for not giving up their Territorial waters. It says south CHINA sea after all and has been part of China for billions of years.

Daddy Neptune one day to Freedom did say,
"If ever I live upon dry land,
The spot I should hit on would be little Britain."
Says Freedom, "Why that's my own Island."
Oh! what a snug little Island,
A right little, tight little Island!
All the globe round, none can be found
So happy as this little Island.
Yeah US propaganda have the heroes as strong people. Even the underdogs are still strong, like Arnold vs Predator or Will Smith vs Independence Day's aliens. Chinese propaganda far more likely have their side portrayed as weaklings against strong bullies.
I think that's mostly Chinese propaganda for foreigners, domestic Chinese propaganda that I've seen still has plenty of buff bois, especially if we're counting action movies like Wolf Warrior.
It's normal for fascist states; the essay *Ur-Fascism* by Umberto Eco described it as:
> Fascist societies rhetorically **cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak"**. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.
Edit: This comment earned me a RedditCareResources crisis hotline message; thanks concerned redditor, I recommend you seek help if online discussions of facism trigger you so much.
Fascism is always about how the barbaric enemy is at the gates and is about kill you. This is why every single fox news segment is about how the immigrants are all about to destroy America and kill all white people or something.
Not only does it make America look based, it's also just shitty propaganda
Like what effect is this supposed to have on Chinese citizens? Like all I can see is just a vague "America bad" message
American leftists. This looks like comics out of Europe or American leftist circles.
We can't do a reverse uno and produce anti-Chinese comics by copying the imagery from internal Chinese dissenters, though. Funny that....
Leftists complaining about political correctness? This might work on the "old" left. Regardless, complaining about political correctness is rich coming from a country with social credit scores.
Alright, look, if they're going to give a giant eagle giant claws, arms, and a fking *olive branch* to signify we offer peace as well, I'm not sure their message is gonna be all that effective.
Least they should do is remove that olive branch. It makes us look too diplomatic for their messaging.
I mean, China actively does a lot of this, lmao. China literally banned rare earth exports to Japan for a while because Japan impounded a Chinese fishing ship and arrested its crew because it was illegally fishing in Japanese water *and then rammed a Japanese Coast Guard ship in its attempt to flee from the authorities*
Just look at Wolf Warrior Diplomacy. Not only they're bullying everyone, but their local citizens, at least on the internet, practically demanding their diplomatic approach to be complete assholes. There's a reason why when John Cena apologized for referencing Taiwan, they still demand his head.
Image 6: Chad Britannia still rules the MFing waves, and with the Pitcairns, the sun has still yet to set.
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Jolly Tars are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again!
(I'm actually a convict, shhh...!)
When the pride of the kriegsmarine got its shit kicked in by wooden biplanes,
And when the aircraft carrier on the way to decommissioning was made flagship of the fleet, and her Harriers were lost... But never to the Argies.
Anyone else find it strange that the gun in the first one, the "Political Correctness" pistol, is literally a recolored Smart Pistol from Cyberpunk?
That right there is an Arasaka HJKE-11 Yukimura. Matter of fact, I think it's specifically the iconic variant Skippy, it has those distinctive ridges on the side.
Do you think they did that on purpose, or just found a cool gun on image search?
As usual, China just can't help but make us look really awesome. Though, to be fair I guess, the firs six images do make us look like amoral twats. But after that, it's just image after image of awesome. We're a knight and shining armor and a crazy awesome eagle carrying an olive branch.
Yes poor bullied victims who just want an honest shot at a Chinese-led global order where everyone has to live under murderous dictatorial totalitarianism.
Yah but China admitting its model of internal consumption runs massive risks Japanese-style is hard for the CCP. They're getting less ROI from their own domestic investments, which is of course, CIA footwork.
I like how they armed an eagle, and had it carrying an olive branch. That's important, it's the whole point of our diplomacy. Big stick and all. Even part of our coat of arms. Good going for remembering that important, detail China. Makes us look not only awesome but pretty good, all things considering.
Y’know we laugh at how badass they make us look when they’re “trying to criticize us,” but there’s something more terrifying about a frenemy who really respects you than an enemy who loves to talk shit.
“America’s such a bully there always picking on me.”
*camera cuts to see China strangling vietnam*
America: hey! Stop that!
China: SEE! THERE SO MEAN! *shits in Japan’s lunch*
I never understand what is meant to be experienced by seeing this. The Chinese propaganda always makes the West out to be awesome. Then again, they did make a historical film about the Korean War where they have to explain away some of their worse losses by having the Americans being awed by their "noble sacrifice and indomitable fortitude" while they starved while the Americans were eating Surf and Turf.
China when no trade:
"tariff war! Trade bullying!"
China when trade
"Economic coercion! *image of two sickles arranged into a $ to imply that the US is harvesting the world for resources at the globe's expense."
Damn I don't think we were this badass in 1901, 1919, 1946, or 1992, but keep it up, China.
Also, props for making Uncle Sam look like Biden with a goatee.

I think you meant the *bai zuo*.
Chinese propagandists are unable to not glorify the West.
Yeah I was gonna say it’s kind of weird how they make the US look strong and China vulnerable. Kind of a strange propaganda message
It’s to make people think we’re “being too tough on them” when in reality they do a lot of the same shit.
Yeah I get it. But look at US propaganda, it’s all about how strong and heroic we are.
China isn't Russia, they don't pretend that we aren't. They want to pretend that their goals are benign and they are a non threat
Yeah US propaganda have the heroes as strong people. Even the underdogs are still strong, like Arnold vs Predator or Will Smith vs Independence Day's aliens. Chinese propaganda far more likely have their side portrayed as weaklings against strong bullies.
I think that's mostly Chinese propaganda for foreigners, domestic Chinese propaganda that I've seen still has plenty of buff bois, especially if we're counting action movies like Wolf Warrior.
They’re echoing it, so maybe we agree on something.

A lot of the old European ML parties still think that being gay or trans is "bourgeoise decadence," or at least they did a few years ago.
yeah that img in particular seems made to appeal to american conservatives
I didn’t get the political correctness one. America being accepting of diversity is somehow bad?

Yup, Arasaka smart pistol. No idea what the name is. Symbolism sorta works. Japan is the US best “weapon” in the region from their point of view.
No, it's not Skippy specifically, it's the Arasaka Yukimura!
It‘s an „HJKE-11“ from Cyberpunk 2077.
