CJ>>"Aggressively question every new narrative that emerges about China, in the same way you’ve learned to aggressively question every new narrative Israel releases about Gaza and Hamas. Question everything you’ve ever been taught about China throughout your life, in the same way you’ve learned to question everything you were taught about Israel."
This is good advice Caitlin! Though I would ALSO caution readers to think critically about Pro-China propaganda (though it pales in significance, magnitude and sophistication to U.S. Empire propaganda). Be skeptical (on all opinions). Verify facts. Be cautious about the "halo effect" and listening to people in positions of power and authority. And most of all - read as much real history (not the revisionist kind) as you can get your hands on.
Focus on UNITY amongst the workers of the world - the 99% - be they in China, Russia, U.S., anywhere. This is part of the world-wide class warfare (in many ways) of the 1% against the 99% - and we MUST unite across boundaries!
This is one of the biggest problems in our society. History has been so lied about and perverted we must use all of our critical thinking skills and follow every lead to get an inkling of the truth. Even then their propaganda claims mean we have continually question our own conclusions.
NCE ONE. Had forgotten about the term "Halo effect"... thank you for bringing it up again.
"The halo effect (sometimes called the halo error) is the tendency for positive impressions of a person, company, country, brand, or product in one area to positively influence one's opinion or feelings.[1][2] The halo effect is "the name given to the phenomenon whereby evaluators tend to be influenced by their previous judgments of performance or personality."[3] The halo effect is a cognitive bias which can prevent someone from forming an image of a person, a product or a brand based on the sum of all objective circumstances at hand."
