Chinese state actors are extremely active on the fediverse. They know they can’t cut off every head of a hydra, so the next next best thing is to flood it with disinformation .

A think-tank estimate puts China’s nationwide internet censorship spending at at least US $13.6 billion per year as of 2020.

An oft-cited historical figure (from 2013 Chinese sources) suggested ~2 million people were involved in censorship and information control efforts at that time.

Beyond the national apparatus, provincial and local governments operate their own monitoring setups, meaning there’s a decentralized mass of censorship functionaries nationwide.

Millions of Chinese are dedicated to destroying truth. No society can flourish in darkness. Poo bear will fail, although, in the short term they can propagandized the world with disinformation with successes in different areas. Humanity is truth. Without truth, there can be no humanity.

The distribution of all human knowledge, untampered.

modern reality where only governments and massive corporations control the hardware, and hardware itself is today’s weaponry, replacing tanks and guns?

Finally discussion of propaganda techniques. Good fellow

Fastest way to destroy American democracy, eliminate the middle class. The poor are easily manipulated, the upper middle strives for the top 10 percent and everyone else is too busy getting fucked (kinda like everyone else), while Trillion Truck Elun fucks more teens, because we need more psychopaths to lead us. Good time to peace the fuck out of that miserable hellhole.
