That's how propaganda works. They repeat a lie over and over until everyone is saying it, even when the facts are that China reported an unknown respiratory illness on Dec 31st, identified it as a novel coronavirus by Jan 8th and confirmed it Jan 14th and published their findings, and then the national emergency and quarantines started on Jan 23rd.

These are the facts and you have been lied to by anti-China propaganda, and younger Americans aren't falling for that shit anymore.

I'm advocating for people to think critically and not fall for propaganda just because "pretty much everyone is in agreement" about something. I proved that you were wrong about China, and what did you do? You moved the goal posts and attacked me for something else.

Also, not all propaganda is bad. Government propaganda that promotes public safety is good. Government propaganda that promotes war is bad. You have to engage with propaganda critically and not just go with the flow whenever you get your marching orders on CNN.

They're marching us towards war with China and you're falling for it.
