Why are they just so sauceless? Do they not have the ability to actually pick up the messages that the left actually succeeds on and counter those? It seems like the only thing the state has been successful with is instigating infighting through the whole "tankie" vs "anarkiddie" sectarian split. If I'm being charitable, gender has been pretty useful for them too with how many people feel comfortable with the anti-trans-athlete culture war BS. But if they knew what they were doing, there'd be so much more they could do.

I guess the reason they don't pull out all the stops is that the western left is nonexistent but geez, at least taunt us about China not doing anything to save us or whatever.

This is on purpose.

If they have to debate our points, our authentic message will reach the ears of the masses.

If they hallucinate some bizarro bullshit, we have to divert from our talking points to address whatever brainworm nonsense they are peddling before being able to express what we originally intended.

This allows them to set the narrative and puts us on the defense instead of the other way around.

Notice how little time we spend actually convincing libs of Marxian economics, dialectical materialism, and democratic centralism and compare that to how much time we're relitigating if China has concentration camps for Uighur muslims or if Stalin intentionally tried to starve Ukrainians.
