A Russian military-endorsed "propaganda game" has just landed on Steam

[Hassanabi]

You know when western propaganda works, when people hate on Chinese and Russians even if they never had negative experiences with any of them.

You can easily spot it in online games, if anybody with Cyrillic or Asian-lettered name is in the same game, people immediately come with comments like:
"Oh it must be a cheater/hacker"
"Oh it must be a bad player"
"Oh it must be a bad/toxic person"

This is happening for decades, even if these players don't do anything wrong, they're already being treated unfairly for no apparent reason.

How is it that despite the US and other countries invading and destroying countries, their citizens are not treated like trash?


"The number of people killed directly in the violence of the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere are estimated here. Several times as many more have been killed as a reverberating effect of the wars — because, for example, of water loss, sewage and other infrastructural issues, and war-related disease."

It is estimated 4.5 million people lost their lives either directly or indirectly in the post 9/11 wars. These are citizens, not combatants.

The UN estimates the Ukraine war since 2022 caused the deaths of 13k civilians, which in comparison to the post 9/11 wars casualties is "nothing" yet Russia and it's citizens, of which many don't want wars are being universally hated more than Americans.

Well maybe if the Afghan civilians hadn't given Aiden comfort to the Taliban they wouldn't have been in a war ravaged country they chose to allow the Taliban to exist they chose not to rise up against them and fight not my problem. As far as Chinese or Russians on the internet I don't care about the Russians per se I never really have the Chinese yes and it's more because any Chinese that are on the western side of the internet are there with the permission of the CCP if you're actually from China I have a couple friends that fled China won't specifically their parents or their grandparents like China when the communist party took over. I also have a friend whose family immigrated from China to the West Denver falls pretenses and managed to escape although according to him his grandfather remains in a work camp in a rehabilitation camp for having anti-government thoughts. But what we do know is anybody talking on the Western internet for mainland China is doing so with the CCP's blessing in monetary they exist solely to stir up discord That's all they exist for and yes I will call them out whenever I see them because the regular Chinese aren't allowed on the internet that only allowed on what's behind the great firewall because the Chinese government still thinks they can keep information private
