How am I brainwashed? I never said the propaganda reflects the reality. This is just the propaganda they're pushing and it reflects a worldview that I'm trying to understand. They're trying to motivate their people. I think the reality is more like the party being repeatedly thrown the windshield of a repeated series of car crashes, but the amazing thing is how they keep being able to pick themselves up, brush off the glass shards and then look sheepishly at the camera and shrug, because they're fine.

The Chinese are kinda like Jews in a sense that they're overachievers so their critics immediately knock off 30% on their score. They survived another car crash? Oh, well, it's because they're naturally smart so we're not going to give them any credit. I also don't think irony permeates Chinese culture as much as it does in western countries (or this forum). It's not like they lack the concept of irony or don't make ironic jokes, but there's just more earnestness, but that's called being "brainwashed" (people the reigning nihilistic attitude in western societies is not believing in anything), and people don't want to try to understand that, and basically you're fucked pal
