Wonderful talking points such as
-
It’s actually nationalistic (and thus bad) for the government to praise the people’s fight against the pandemic
-
Pandemic propaganda only exists to serve the Xi Jinping Dictatorship™️
-
Xi Jinping is a dictator - the kind liberals think of. And BTW, they only call non-American administrations “dictatorship”
-
Coming up with their own vibes-based death toll
-
An obsession over the semi-bungled initial months
-
“Human wave” of healthcare volunteers
-
Being strict about movement within the epicenter is discrimination, actually
-
Repeating the right-wing “extreme brutality” meme reporting of Chinese lockdowns
-
Repeating the imperialist meme that Chinese citizens were abandoned en masse without supplies
-
Being quarantined is literally prison - actually, it’s worse
-
Caring about The Economy for some reason

Not wanting to provide links to any of their sources
-

I had multiple arguments with this person on their multiple accounts. And the only takeaway I had was that they have never done any actual organising and that they really aren’t left at all. I questioned whether they were actually in Socialist Alternative tbh because their responses were so fundamentally bad faith all the time and often came across as lying.
