this relativity and the lack of confidence in information are really chinese propaganda's best asset... from chat gpt: Postmodernist Rhetoric: The CCP is adept at taking advantage of postmodernism's core idea that "truth is relative." By framing all criticism of China as "Western propaganda," they muddy the waters of discourse. It becomes difficult for people to separate legitimate criticism of China’s policies from biased attacks, creating widespread doubt. Whataboutism: A favorite strategy is to deflect criticism by pointing out flaws in the U.S. or other Western nations—racism, income inequality, or the treatment of indigenous peoples. While these issues are real, the CCP uses them not to engage in meaningful dialogue but to distract and relativize their own abuses. Exploiting Western Doubts: Many in the West are disillusioned with their own governments due to valid issues like corporate corruption, economic inequality, or systemic racism. The CCP capitalizes on this discontent to position itself as a “better alternative,” despite its glaring human rights abuses. Internal Propaganda: The CCP controls the narrative within China through state media, school curriculums, and censorship of foreign media. Citizens are exposed only to sanitized, glorified portrayals of their government. External Propaganda: Through platforms like TikTok, state-run accounts, and influencers who may unwittingly spread pro-China narratives, the CCP creates a global image of China as a benevolent, futuristic, and misunderstood nation. Narrative of Victimhood: The CCP often paints China as a victim of Western imperialism and unfair criticism, which resonates with some audiences in both developing and developed countries. Low Information Consumption: Many people rely on quick, surface-level information from social media rather than engaging in deeper research. This allows CCP narratives to take root among those who don’t fact-check. Desire for Simplicity: It’s easier to believe in a simple, appealing narrative ("China is misunderstood and advanced") than to grapple with the messy reality of authoritarianism, oppression, and censorship. Distrust of Traditional Media: In the West, growing skepticism of mainstream media makes people more susceptible to alternative narratives, including CCP propaganda.

take it from someone who was born and raised in mainland china, it is just as the "Westerners who have been deepthroated this absolutist idea of freedom as a apex value" says, china is "authoritarian" and repressing freedoms. stop having this idealized version of china in your head, it isnt even nearly as clean as u think, just cuz u hate the west doesnt make china suddenly great

As a Chinese person, Chinese people are brainwashed, and a lot Americans are dumb to not think so

The course I'm following teaches comprehension while being as fast as possible. Also, i heard some people say that effective speed reading will have effective comprehension because you're 100% focused on the reading and therefore won't get distracted by thoughts. Just like when you're racing, you'll be more focused on the driving vs being on traffic and scrolling on your phone or something.
