They're so afraid of being disappointed they'd rather just give up all hope and become nihilist edgelords. They turn into the very NPCs they hate - instead of virtue signaling it's the biggest doomer who wins.
Apparently there's no goodness in the world, each and every politician is corrupt, every hit the deep state takes is a controlled psyop and despite their plans and credibility largely falling apart recently we'll all be herded onto cattle carts any minute now.
This pretty much describes half this sub. Instead of doing the enemy's demoralization work for them I recommend poetry as an outlet, at least it may be of some use to someone.
The "elites" are getting antsy about all those Project Veritas whistleblowers so they tried to do their own little dog and pony show. Much to their surprise, nothing they do works like it used to. In the good old days it took the public months or years to see through these schemes, now it only took a few days. It's not going to end well for them.
You're overestimating the amount of control communists have over their economies. They've been blowing massive bubbles like everyone else and sooner or later reality will assert itself. CCP is playing with fire and may end up falling apart overnight like CCCP did.

This sort of social pressure works great on the normie herd who are terrified of being ostracized. What they don't realize is at this point they're trying to convince the other half of the population who don't give a single shit about it. It's not going to happen and they're getting increasingly blatant and pathetic in their desperation.
This grace period has lasted for an awfully long time now. Almost like they're failing.
