i know it's memed a lot and outside of that a lot more eloquent people than i have discussed it, but it really is fucked up how so many things are seen as inherently bad when it's chinese

#or north korean #or any socialist or communist country really but china and nk get hit with it hardest in the us ive noticed #like i think about so many things that happen here in the us that if they happened in china or nk that #americans would be disgusted by but don't think twice about when they happened here #mickey.txt #sinophobia cw #like any movie about the american military tbh #i literally saw one where an american solider sniped down a local small boy who was holding a molotov cocktail #EVEN THOUGH THE AMERICANS WERE INVADING but its okay because he was sad after ): LIKE?? #or on a less heavy sense #that time when my mom and i drove passed a farm that was hanging a huge american flag on the side of the barn #or when it was really early in the morning and the news needed filler #so they played stock footage of pretty scenery while a little girl sang a song about america #or how often times. not matter how small the event is. kids sports games will often play the national anthem at the beginning #or even when cartoon network or 4kids would have channel blocks around 4th of july #or presidents day #and would super impose pokemon with historical figures and presidents #or would edit cartoon clips so cartoon characters would sing the national anthem #and ofc us forcing kids to say the pledge of allegiance (which is a heavy phrase when you break it down) #im rambling but seriously this country does so much nationalistic bullshit and we think its perfectly fine #but if and when any asian/swena country does anything like it we have days of news stories #discussing how brainwashed those citizens are #i feel like that fucking charlie day meme when i explain it to people esp my parents but its really obvious when you step back and look #its maddening
