I remember during covud watching a YouTube video about a Chinese woman and an american woman biking in California. The american woman was complaining about a news commentary she had heard that was ridiculous. The Chinese woman was indifferent. She couldn't believe that americans took the news channels seriously. In China they just assume it's propaganda.
Makes nothing but sense. People who grow up under more obviously oppressive regimes view the world very differently. It took many years for me to overcome the US programming and I don't believe I will ever be rid of it completely. It is so deep.
