Why are they just so sauceless? Do they not have the ability to actually pick up the messages that the left actually succeeds on and counter those? It seems like the only thing the state has been successful with is instigating infighting through the whole “tankie” vs “anarkiddie” sectarian split. If I’m being charitable, gender has been pretty useful for them too with how many people feel comfortable with the anti-trans-athlete culture war BS. But if they knew what they were doing, there’d be so much more they could do.
I guess the reason they don’t pull out all the stops is that the western left is nonexistent but geez, at least taunt us about China not doing anything to save us or whatever.
My mom told me they were a gang when I was little. She denies saying that now, of course, since a bunch of shit has become more public about the FBI undermining them at every turn with help from the media.
