          Yeah and both of those are bad. Product dumping kills local businesses, like how the US sending clothes overseas kills domestic textile industries, and processed food aid kills farms needed for self-sufficiency.

              Yeah, only megacorps and slave labor! Because fuck people owning the means of production, am I right?

                Small shops aren’t the means of production but the profit extraction still operates through robbing wage slaves of the surplus value they create. The petite bougie bosses you’re trying to shill for are some of the most reactionary elements that go straight for fascism because it promises them protections from international capital (which is defined as a conspiratorial cabal unlike domestic capital hence their almost anti-capitalist rhetoric sometimes). They’re also some of the most cruel because they directly cheat employees that they know and interact with personally.

                Yes, i want highly centralized production owned by the people not highly decentralized production owned by a multitude of petit-bourgeoisie. I want stuff to be abundant for everybody through mass production, not highly constrained by small scale production.

              Was really waiting for them to reveal how they knew this campaign was Chinese.

              I can believe that it’s something China could do, but I’m not sure why I should believe this article’s assumptions without evidence provided.

                I’d be more surprised if countries like the US, China, and Russia weren’t trying to influence each other.

                It seemed like the best source available from a ten-second Google search while taking a shit, but I can nip down to the local CIA field office and pick up some classified ops docs if you want a primary source, I’m sure they make that info available.

                  oh no need. CIA psyoping has been publicly admitted to by the us government themselves, and some of their own officials.

                  quite a few of the people-are-dying atrocities too.

              can you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can’t really see how anything they could would hurt the world.

              would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?
