For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

  • When I was a kid, I watched Chinese dramas about the war of resistance against japanese invasion, and it portrayed the CCP as heroes…

    The main fighting force was actually the ROC Army lol

    I used to have more positive views on PRC, but then my mom told me about One Child Policy and I wasn’t supposed to exist…

    so yea, my opinion changed pretty quickly

    No way in hell I’d support an organization that wanted to legislate me out of existence, also denying legal paperwork after I was born.


    Also, cops.

    I used to think they actually protect people, now I know they are just a bunch of useless assholes that sometimes harass innocent people. They never help with anything, always have this aggressive attitude, does injust arrests.

    This view isn’t based on the internet, it’s from actual real life experiences.

      I’m of the opinion that anyone who supports the police probably hasn’t had an interaction with the police.

      Like seriously, any time I’ve been the victim of a crime, the police have been the worst part of it. I guess I’m probably biased, maybe there’s some place where cops don’t suck, but I don’t live there

      I think people probably like the idea of the police: someone you can call in an emergency when you’re in danger. But their response does not reflect their branding
