The author thought the message sounded too ghoulish so they added the word “democratic” to soothe the brains of libs.

US ideology is such a weird mixture of “we’re the master race” supremacy and smarmy HR speak.

It’s nice to see that most columnists have to admit they’d be doomed fighting China, as the empire has fallen to far already.

We call it the “BBC/nether filter”, referring to how BBC turns all pictures and videos of China darker than original.

Haven’t heard that one, but here’s an example, on the left is BBC’s Chinese version, on the left is the English version:

Original article: BBC sparks uproar in China for ‘underworld filter’ on Wuhan video https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202102/1215710.shtml

The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41e44JwMY6Y&list=PL6UESfsY6DFtN4rbXh3WYI8OEI78Lt9vi&index=6

The image in question:

The BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57780023.amp?s=09

Now, one might assume that the Youtuber is lying, and this is definitely what any lib coming across the Youtube video would think, especially if they look up the article and notice the image is unaltered.

Think again, the BBC has since changed it back to the unaltered version, this shit is infuriating because, 1. anyone seeing this video would think the youtuber is lying, and 2. whoever read the article at first has already been lied to. Here is the article before the image was changed to the unaltered version (Likely in “response” to the Youtubers video, BBC obv. doesn’t mention or apologize for this blatant disinformation): http://web.archive.org/web/20210711221132/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57780023

Initially, although only for a while since I am critical towards my sources, thought that he had lied after looking up the BBC article, shame on me … But thank fuck for archive.org.

I decided to make this comment to anyone who may look it up.

By “democratic capitalism” they actually mean bourgeois democratic dictatorship, as opposed to people’s/proletariat democratic dictatorship.
