Sheltered Reddit liberals finding out in real time that they're not in a pro-west echo chamber is fucking hilarious. (hexbear.net)

Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

In seriousness, in Chinese currency, there is fen (1分), 10 fen is a mao (1毛) and 10 mao is 1 yuan (1元)

In some liberal fever dream, people were paid 5 mao per post to defend the CPC on the internet. Which doesn't really make a lot of sense since they also believe mentioning Tiananmen Square will get you SWATed. So dissent is never posted online, but when it is there's a ready team of professional posters defending China. Which even the west admits is a lie, even the Wikipedia article notes "In contrast to common assumptions, the 50 Cent Party consists mostly of paid bureaucrats who respond to government directives and rarely defend their government from criticism or engage in direct arguments because "... the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject.""

This has spread to any defense or China on a western platform being done by highly bilingual Chinese state employees for 50 cents a post.
