idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

    Well the point here is not that China is cool and based actually, but that people definitely did some lying on this point and those same people definitely think it means that any and all forms of communism are authoritarian and there is no alternative to capitalism.

    There has to be some percentage of people who let this be the thing that radicalises them, and I don’t want to hear any doomer takes about how these people are impossible to reach. I’ve heard loads of stories over the years of this or that particular moment being the moment that snapped someone out of their fascist sympathies.
