No, but it’s scummy as fuck, and it’s interesting that an American is pushing Chinese talking points.

I think people are pretty well aware at this point that social engineering, on a macroscale, is extremely effective at changing people’s views (albeit slowly). Look at what happened with Qanon, look how many people supported that. That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, and people are STILL backing it even after it’s been proven to not only be a sham, but run by a pedophile out of Southeast Asia. Imagine the damage that can be done by a disinformation or social engineering campaign backed by one of the largest nations in the world.

We are currently in a culture war - the implications of it could change everyone’s lives in the next couple of decades if we aren’t careful.
