    Nobody knows who Roy Singham is, including me lmao.

    AFAIK the intended part of this bit is for people to google him, see he’s a pro-China billionaire who gave PSL and their front orgs $40m, and think that’s bad.

      When Lenin said the last capitalist would sell us the rope to hang them, I don’t think he envisioned this lmao. Maybe we can keep this one billionaire, as a treat

      Isn’t a plurality of Americans pro China at this point. Libs that might fall for this don’t necessarily hate billionaires, they like Mark Cuban for instance. And most of them are saying “I trust China with my data more than the USA” when it comes to the TikTok sale.

        The target audience of this infographic is definitely the kind of radlib that is extremely proud of how “informed” they are about China’s authoritarianism and feels a sense of smug moral superiority over the other kind of lib/generally-left-wing people who feel that way about China.
