Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Yeah I want to know how they're justifying it. The likes of Biden don't usually say the quiet parts out loud.
It's something between Asian Peril and McCarthyism where communist china is trying to take over the world to make you share toothbrushes honestly. I don't think the US needs much of a propaganda reasoning to act against China at this point
This isn't just against China, though, it's a bunch of other countries in Asia as well.
It's like they're just openly admitting "if you do business with China you're with the enemy" now.
I don't think they've been very subtle about that one even before this
Punishing countries for just being Asian and trading with China is an escalation - a new phase of an ongoing trend.
They’re forcing the fence sitters to pick a side. I do t know if it’s a good move for them, but they certainly think so
I mean it was so effective last time
War on Terror USA: You're either with us or against us
France: Can we at least see a tiny bit of evidence to appease our citizens before we start bombin-
USA: Well now French fries are going to be called "Freedom Fries", how about that?
France: look we're largely on board just give us a crumb to justif-
USA: loud screeching
Yeah that seems to be it - "if you're not with us you're with the enemy"
