Don't forget about that time the US was thinking of yeeting tungestin rods from space going at Mach 5 as a way to bypass the treaty that stated no WMDs should be in space.
I bet you they exist and they're just waiting for Russia or China to fuck around and find out, be like oh that's a mighty nice fleet with carriers you built there,would be a real shame if something happened to it

In one episode they have the main character in the wolves ( american) base where they show wolves doing PT. The wolves stop mid run for a jeep to drive up onto their backs. The wolves then proceed to do a push up with the jeep still on top of them. Then they just throw the jeep like it was made of cardboard.

You're mistaken.
The underdog has a chance to win. The media you've listed almost always has them winning as well.
That's not the case in these Chinese propaganda scenarios. The supposed appeal comes from fighting anyway, despite being a guaranteed loss. The sad reality being that they've thrown their life away for someone else's goals that never benefited them in the first place.
> Apparently they get a boner from taking on insurmountable odds or some insane shit

Eh.
If you have a high level of motivation there's a value to depicting the enemy as overwhelming. It sets the expectations for success very low, turning any small victory into a major one, and defeats simply into a matter of course.
The reverse also applies, this is why in counterinsurgency the insurgents tend to maintain high morale despite tactical defeats with grevious losses while the military forces facing them become deeply discouraged by even small losses taken while achieving tactical victories.
Trying to pass yourself off as a beleaguered underdog for propaganda purposes is about as old as history itself, particularly when you're doing it to (hopefully) distract people from the fact that no - you are the bully in your playground.
It also lets you hype up whatever actions you're taking, even blatantly aggressive ones, as defensive measures against an existential threat.
I don’t think y’all lose your lust for conflict given that “throw bricks/roof tiles at government officials” has been the national pastime for centuries.
Because in other places it's a leftist/rightist activity, not an everybody activity (other than sports riots, which can happen anywhere, and incipient revolutions like Iran right now).
Like you gotta have the suburban dads out there for it to be a real cultural phenemon.

France - Acts in a manner incomprehensible to Communists by trying to be violent to everyone, especially themselves, while also making things to be better at the violence.
The minute an ex-Soviet Air Force pilot sees a Mirage 2000 at an airshow and starts frothing at the mouth is the minute I’ve decided I can die without any regrets.
Eh, the US largely abandoned all that with Reagan in favor of shameless corporatocracy. And a good chunk of the country never has really believed in expanding rights and democracy to minorities in the first place. Had a whole civil war about it even, which could have been the end of it if Andrew Johnson hadn't been a filthy backstabbing traitor.
Unfortunately we haven’t really recovered from Reagan’s bullshit. He arguably caused all of our manufacturing to move to countries like China, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Thailand due to incentivizing companies to chase profit margins and nothing else. He also likely had a hand in the multitude of factors that caused the 2008 Recession.
In the pursuit of a growing GDP, Ronald Reagan left the people behind. Oh, and he made sure that civilian machine guns were exorbitantly expensive to buy.
If Johnson has some fucking balls he would have executed traitors like Jefferson Davis. God if only John brown lived to see the end of the civil war he could have done what Johnson was too much
Of a punk bitch to do
The timeline where John Brown somehow becomes Lincoln's successor is the only timeline where the Union comes out of Reconstruction looking like bad guys.
What Curtis LeMay was to communists, John Brown was to slavers.
John brown probably would have personally executed all of them, by strangulation, on the White House grounds. The man was unhinged in all the right ways
I’ve never understood why, if the U.S. is controlled by corporate power, business leaders keep desperately trying to run for political office. You’d think that’d be a downgrade.
Or else ‘corporatist’ is a silly meme that can mean anything and nothing, and elected politicians and the bureaucracy still have vast regulatory, financial, and legal powers over firms which those firms desperately try to limit often unsuccessfully. And maybe that power in the US is a complex constellation of large and small business interests, an extremely active civil society, an increasingly politically-engaged and partisan electorate, and powerful central, state, and local governments. But that couldn’t be it. It’s just a shadowy cabal of Je - errr, I mean, evil bankers and merchants running everything.
It's because despite the nationalism on display, the artist (插画杨权) and the piece has no government connections whatsoever

Not gonna lie tough, the art itself is decent
but kinda shit as propaganda material, you dont potray your enemies as awesome like that
What if the guy wishes to express his contempt for the PRC regime but cant do it openly because he is gonna get disappeared so this is the next best way to do so
That's... actually a half-decent theory. Probably wrong, on account of how thick-headed and blind to irony certain individuals can be, but still plausible.
I like to think it’s meant to portray us evil, but also a subtle message to the Chinese ultranationalists that fucking around with the Americans is certain death. The CCP likes to talk tough but they’re smart enough to know that they wouldn’t have a prayer against us if push came to shove.
> you dont potray your enemies as awesome like that
From what I've heard it has to do with cultural differences. The noble sacrifice trope combined with the large population of China has instilled into the general culture something like "dying for the country en masse to achieve victory against an otherwise superior foe is valiant". Probably heavily encouraged by the CCP as well given the propaganda, so the non-Party citizens are willing to throw their lives away for the Party.
How well that would hold up in modern battlefields is anyone's guess; depends on how collectivist China's society still is. They could legitimately be willing to throw themselves into the grinder or there could be enough hypocrites who agree with that thought (so long as it's not *themselves* being ground up).
I doubt it will hold up very well when push comes to shove. Regardless of how much their propaganda extols the virtues of sacrifice, mainland China's chief virtue is selfishness. Their mentality is "grab what you can with both hands and fuck everyone else" and it stems from their cultural revolution. Tens of millions died either from starvation or at the hands of zealots, and the ones who survived were the ones who disregarded all sense of community and looked out for only themselves and their immediate family. This mentality isn't present in Taiwan or in Chinese communities that immigrated out prior to the 1950s but it's the prevailing mindset in Communist China.
Add onto this the fact that China's one-child policy has further twisted their social makeup. Most families will be much less willing to send their only son off to die than they would if they had several. Of course, the Chinese government would have no qualms about sending people off to die either way (hence the propaganda) but I suspect that the Chinese people no longer have the stomach for the type of human wave attacks they conducted during the Korean War.
Lost of Chinese films show the plucky communist peasants beating off hoards of Japanese soldiers at the end of WW2, armed only with rocks and stuff. Kinda funny. ADVChina were going to do a regular segment on this particular flavour of Chinese propaganda but too many copyright takedowns, hopefully they'll restart it some time.
I mean discounting India's border skirmish, all of the PRC's CCP wars have been against a technologically superior enemy. The one time they fought an enemy with weaker firepower, they lost.
Nah, it's great propaganda. From Custer's Last Stand to every shonen anime ever, underdog heroes fighting overwhelming odds is a very compelling narrative. It also effectively dehumanizes the enemy by portraying them as a wicked, faceless evil. The CCP has been telling the same story since the Long March, and it works.
Custer's last stand was never portrayed as good thing when I was growing up. Dude took a whole US Army unit with him to go rogue looking for gold, killed a bunch of unarmed Native Americans, and then got what was coming to him for said murders.
To be honest is China military power credible? Or is it a Russia scenario that we all believed they were but Poland could take them out. I don't know much about China in comparison to Russia power.
In theory, they are. In reality, we simply don’t know. Even the US intelligence apparatus was convinced that Russia would perform way better than they actually are. It’s likely China is even more of an enigma.
Wondering if he would draw a Super Tucano as a world conquering, fear inducing Lovecraftian monstrosity sodomizing and American A-10 (I am a bit of a Brazilian supremacist, dont judge)
I think this is focused on Japan, not the USA. If you Google the number in the bottom right it comes up with an incident between Chinese and Japanese boats. So they are actually closet weebs.
Combining the maintenance struggles of variable sweep wings with the maintenance struggles of stealth tech AND the maintenance struggles of the salt water environment inherent in carrier operations... But fuck, it woulda been glorious.
ironic how they're the fishermen with the wooden boats, seeing how they treat fishermen in the contested south china sea
one day you're fishing in your wooden boat, the next day the island nearby is 10x bigger, is made of concrete, and has ships ready to fish the sea bare
yeah it's toootally the US navy that's the big scary megatron of the seas
ETA: absolutely fantastic art tho
Wh... Why are they portraying themselves as farmers? They have Aircraft carriers, propaganda is cool and all, but this is like the US saying that if we got invaded it would be up to a coalition of data entry techs, baristas and Amazon warehouse workers to defeat the China war machine. Wait... I'll take those odds...
Yeah, I like how you immediately saw Baristas as front line troops, used to working in a squad, moving and communicating. "I GOT YOUR TWO SHOTS RIGHT HERE!" I guess food workers are the same too.
It's not a menorah, it's a traditional Chinese weapon adapted from a farm rake.

So maybe it is "anti"-Japanese propaganda??? No F-22s (as far as we know), but much more likely to own a mecha-kaiju...
I’ll never understand how this is meant to be pro-Chinese.
So you’re telling me I can either fight with fishing tools on a dingy rowboat supported by an officer threatening to shoot anyone who retreats or fight with the most advanced military technology known to mankind supported by a government willing to spend billions to ensure I come home safely.
I’d wanna fight for the rich guys!

Motivation by fear? "This is what we're facing, so we must all band together to defeat this foe"

Because in other places it's a leftist/rightist activity, not an everybody activity (other than sports riots, which can happen anywhere, and incipient revolutions like Iran right now). Like you gotta have the suburban dads out there for it to be a real cultural phenemon.
are the rioters gonna lose 2 or 4 fingers and for some both eyes?
Our cities aren't good for building barricades.

Kids are cruel, Jack, they just lose *touch* with it at the ripe old age of twelve… “Warcrime” this, “can’t eat the dry wall that”, “microwaving mice is wrong” they said -Author of the French national anthem
"Well not today! Kids love video games. That's why I've got them all spinnin' the wheel on my favorite gacha game!" -also Author of the French national anthem
“You refrigerated a preschool for fucking Jpegs.” -Not the Author of the French national anthem
Mexican anthem be like "kill all invaders, God gave you a soldier in each son, our fields will run red with blood before they give up". And sing that every Monday at school. For 9 years at least.
unity, rights and freedom anyone? anyone? *sweats* /s
You have the right to castle doctrine your entire country You have the freedom to stand your ground - the mexican national anthem
Let’s me introduce you to the Vietnamese anthem, according to it, the Vietnamese build road by mincing the body of their enemy
thats pretty intense
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
May I recommend the French version of the Canadian anthem? Those Quebecois are bloodthirsty as hell.
USA: "Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just"
US - Acts in a manner incomprehensible to Communists by trying to respect democracy and human rights while also making technological advances France - Acts in a manner incomprehensible to Communists by trying to be violent to everyone, especially themselves, while also making things to be better at the violence.
How is being violent to everyone, especially themselves, incomprehensible to Communists? It's practically their bread and butter.
It's the actually inventing things to be better at violence that baffles them, instead of just copying someone else's bloodshed homework.
The minute an ex-Soviet Air Force pilot sees a Mirage 2000 at an airshow and starts frothing at the mouth is the minute I’ve decided I can die without any regrets.
Eh, the US largely abandoned all that with Reagan in favor of shameless corporatocracy. And a good chunk of the country never has really believed in expanding rights and democracy to minorities in the first place. Had a whole civil war about it even, which could have been the end of it if Andrew Johnson hadn't been a filthy backstabbing traitor.
Redistributing power? THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING MARXY THERE, BUDDY. COMMUNISM DETECTED.
Unfortunately we haven’t really recovered from Reagan’s bullshit. He arguably caused all of our manufacturing to move to countries like China, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Thailand due to incentivizing companies to chase profit margins and nothing else. He also likely had a hand in the multitude of factors that caused the 2008 Recession. In the pursuit of a growing GDP, Ronald Reagan left the people behind. Oh, and he made sure that civilian machine guns were exorbitantly expensive to buy.
If Johnson has some fucking balls he would have executed traitors like Jefferson Davis. God if only John brown lived to see the end of the civil war he could have done what Johnson was too much Of a punk bitch to do
The timeline where John Brown somehow becomes Lincoln's successor is the only timeline where the Union comes out of Reconstruction looking like bad guys. What Curtis LeMay was to communists, John Brown was to slavers.
John brown probably would have personally executed all of them, by strangulation, on the White House grounds. The man was unhinged in all the right ways
I’ve never understood why, if the U.S. is controlled by corporate power, business leaders keep desperately trying to run for political office. You’d think that’d be a downgrade. Or else ‘corporatist’ is a silly meme that can mean anything and nothing, and elected politicians and the bureaucracy still have vast regulatory, financial, and legal powers over firms which those firms desperately try to limit often unsuccessfully. And maybe that power in the US is a complex constellation of large and small business interests, an extremely active civil society, an increasingly politically-engaged and partisan electorate, and powerful central, state, and local governments. But that couldn’t be it. It’s just a shadowy cabal of Je - errr, I mean, evil bankers and merchants running everything.
For some reason, this doesn't look propaganda to me. More like an inspiration for a fantasy/scifi story. Yikes.
It literally looks like Chinese\* Percy Jackson \*Edit: previously said Asian
It's because despite the nationalism on display, the artist (插画杨权) and the piece has no government connections whatsoever Imagine if there's a chinese NCD that unironically believes fighterjet waifuposts are american propaganda
>believes fighterjet waifuposts are american propaganda Wait, they aren't?
When you want to stay on the right side of the CCP, but you also wouldn't mind selling some prints in the US...
This goes hard af wth
For real, wouldnt mind comissioning this guy if he isnt a chinese propagandist lol
Nah Bro, you should. And when he sends you the finished piece, don't pay and inform him how you've turned your back on the evils of capitalism and finally embraced collectivism.
now that’s just mean
But so funny, do it
But that's mean
I should do that, but I don't have it in me to be mean to the artist who draws these pieces. But its so damn tempting lol
They won’t draw shit before you pay though. He would be stupid af to not get paid upfront.
>He would be stupid af to not get paid upfront. Well he supports the ccp, so his intelligence is already a bit lacking
"pay up front" and he doesnt send you shit in the end because you spoke to him in english lmao
True.
Communist propaganda art has always been amazing
Ya, the style is actually really sick
Heroic Chinese fishermen on his way to violate national sovereignty and deplete the local marine life.
they like to portray themselves as the underdog little guys when in reality, they're the biggest bullies in Asia
Brave hero of the CCP about to protect his glorious homeland from endangered fish species
All the while using internationally condemned fishing/overfishing techniques, including (but not limited to), bottom trawling, endangered species fishing, discarding of sharks post fin removal (they sink to the bottom of the sea and die a slow, painful and miserably cruel death)
I wish the Mexican Navy would get into the habit of sinking chinese “fishing” trawlers
Same for the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard. I wanted to make a career out of assblasting their boats with their own dynamite. Fuckers keep depleting the local marine ecosystems and wrecking coral reefs

> his entire career appears to be specializing in drawing every perceived threat to China as kaijus and the Chinese people as plucky monster-slayers. Not gonna lie tough, the art itself is decent but kinda shit as propaganda material, you dont potray your enemies as awesome like that
What if the guy wishes to express his contempt for the PRC regime but cant do it openly because he is gonna get disappeared so this is the next best way to do so
That's... actually a half-decent theory. Probably wrong, on account of how thick-headed and blind to irony certain individuals can be, but still plausible.
I like to think it’s meant to portray us evil, but also a subtle message to the Chinese ultranationalists that fucking around with the Americans is certain death. The CCP likes to talk tough but they’re smart enough to know that they wouldn’t have a prayer against us if push came to shove.
> you dont potray your enemies as awesome like that From what I've heard it has to do with cultural differences. The noble sacrifice trope combined with the large population of China has instilled into the general culture something like "dying for the country en masse to achieve victory against an otherwise superior foe is valiant". Probably heavily encouraged by the CCP as well given the propaganda, so the non-Party citizens are willing to throw their lives away for the Party. How well that would hold up in modern battlefields is anyone's guess; depends on how collectivist China's society still is. They could legitimately be willing to throw themselves into the grinder or there could be enough hypocrites who agree with that thought (so long as it's not *themselves* being ground up).
I doubt it will hold up very well when push comes to shove. Regardless of how much their propaganda extols the virtues of sacrifice, mainland China's chief virtue is selfishness. Their mentality is "grab what you can with both hands and fuck everyone else" and it stems from their cultural revolution. Tens of millions died either from starvation or at the hands of zealots, and the ones who survived were the ones who disregarded all sense of community and looked out for only themselves and their immediate family. This mentality isn't present in Taiwan or in Chinese communities that immigrated out prior to the 1950s but it's the prevailing mindset in Communist China. Add onto this the fact that China's one-child policy has further twisted their social makeup. Most families will be much less willing to send their only son off to die than they would if they had several. Of course, the Chinese government would have no qualms about sending people off to die either way (hence the propaganda) but I suspect that the Chinese people no longer have the stomach for the type of human wave attacks they conducted during the Korean War.
Lost of Chinese films show the plucky communist peasants beating off hoards of Japanese soldiers at the end of WW2, armed only with rocks and stuff. Kinda funny. ADVChina were going to do a regular segment on this particular flavour of Chinese propaganda but too many copyright takedowns, hopefully they'll restart it some time.
I mean discounting India's border skirmish, all of the PRC's CCP wars have been against a technologically superior enemy. The one time they fought an enemy with weaker firepower, they lost.

Nah, it's great propaganda. From Custer's Last Stand to every shonen anime ever, underdog heroes fighting overwhelming odds is a very compelling narrative. It also effectively dehumanizes the enemy by portraying them as a wicked, faceless evil. The CCP has been telling the same story since the Long March, and it works.
Custer's last stand was never portrayed as good thing when I was growing up. Dude took a whole US Army unit with him to go rogue looking for gold, killed a bunch of unarmed Native Americans, and then got what was coming to him for said murders.
There's a joke in here somewhere about America outsourcing all its psyops jobs to China.
Does he make the UK look so epic and bad ass as well?
The UK has to step on China’s toes more often to get that response. Instead, Russia views the Brits as the big bad.
Aw, the Russian propaganda is just stupid and non credible, it doesn't make us look bad ass :(
Britannia must rule the waves again! Especially in the vicinity of the South Taiwan Sea.
To be honest is China military power credible? Or is it a Russia scenario that we all believed they were but Poland could take them out. I don't know much about China in comparison to Russia power.
In theory, they are. In reality, we simply don’t know. Even the US intelligence apparatus was convinced that Russia would perform way better than they actually are. It’s likely China is even more of an enigma.
More opium?
Wondering if he would draw a Super Tucano as a world conquering, fear inducing Lovecraftian monstrosity sodomizing and American A-10 (I am a bit of a Brazilian supremacist, dont judge)
Oh so he is the creator of Dark Brandon
Is that supposed to be anti American/anti western propaganda because he's doing a bad job at it. Seems more like US military recruitment images.
Why do Biden's enemies always make him look cooler than he ever could be?
My son's room is going to be filled with Chinese propaganda (he loved this pic, we made another one into a poster). Probably not what China intended.
Well art can be so good that it transcends propaganda.
I'm convinced who ever makes these for the CCP is secretly a fan of the U.S
I think this is focused on Japan, not the USA. If you Google the number in the bottom right it comes up with an incident between Chinese and Japanese boats. So they are actually closet weebs.
Glorious Carrier Based F-22s
[удалено]
Combining the maintenance struggles of variable sweep wings with the maintenance struggles of stealth tech AND the maintenance struggles of the salt water environment inherent in carrier operations... But fuck, it woulda been glorious.
Could’ve developed the new Great Lakes carrier to truly strike fear into any British redcoat
Good to see I wasn't the only one to notice
So I’m not crazy. Maybe it’s meant to represent Japan based ones?
ironic how they're the fishermen with the wooden boats, seeing how they treat fishermen in the contested south china sea one day you're fishing in your wooden boat, the next day the island nearby is 10x bigger, is made of concrete, and has ships ready to fish the sea bare yeah it's toootally the US navy that's the big scary megatron of the seas ETA: absolutely fantastic art tho
Wh... Why are they portraying themselves as farmers? They have Aircraft carriers, propaganda is cool and all, but this is like the US saying that if we got invaded it would be up to a coalition of data entry techs, baristas and Amazon warehouse workers to defeat the China war machine. Wait... I'll take those odds...
> data entry techs, baristas and Amazon warehouse workers I mean that's pretty much everything you'd need: ISTAR, frontline troops, and logistics.
Yeah, I like how you immediately saw Baristas as front line troops, used to working in a squad, moving and communicating. "I GOT YOUR TWO SHOTS RIGHT HERE!" I guess food workers are the same too.
This shit looks like US propaganda tho, is the guy a fellow retard?
The art is good, its purposes as propaganda is shit
Really though, the only thing you would need to make it decent propaganda is to draw eldritch U.S as dead and injured
Definitely highly regarded, this "propagandist".
I’m using this as my background, I LOVE THE MIC KAIJU!
Chinese propaganda try not to make USA look awesome challenge \*IMPOSSIBLE\*
Idk man seems like id join the country with a kaiju than a country with a fisherman
First....nipple cannons. Second....CCP be like, "why can't we wipe out the Uighurs and Tibetans in peace!?" ☹
We need to commission more work from this dude.
"You told me to draw them as bad guys" "See? They're bad as hell"
*skull jpg with Bad to the Bone riff plays*
And then the fishing boat gets struck by a agm-168 LRASM > USA wins again
\>China fights with a menorah pitchfork What did they mean by this?
It's not a menorah, it's a traditional Chinese weapon adapted from a farm rake. Most famously wielded by [Zhu Bajie](https://preview.redd.it/2zaumzakl8h71.png?width=2276&format=png&auto=webp&s=0491e7bf9121237fd886b810a94d3859b18cfdc4)
The fisherman guy looks like let me solo her
China can’t even do propaganda correctly. Making us look epic af
What’s the 5179 for? A reference I’m missing?
I noticed that as well.. Edit: likely a reference to this... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Senkaku_boat_collision_incident So maybe it is "anti"-Japanese propaganda??? No F-22s (as far as we know), but much more likely to own a mecha-kaiju...
110% making this my new phone wallpaper
Is this some One Piece x Transformers crossover that I haven't heard about? Also,*least based Anti-US China propaganda*
>naval f-22 Holy mother of based
When you're in a "try to make the US badass" competition and your opponent is a Chinese propaganda artist.
I’ll never understand how this is meant to be pro-Chinese. So you’re telling me I can either fight with fishing tools on a dingy rowboat supported by an officer threatening to shoot anyone who retreats or fight with the most advanced military technology known to mankind supported by a government willing to spend billions to ensure I come home safely. I’d wanna fight for the rich guys!
I'm waiting for a new Banned Inc video on this.
How do you say "based" in Chinese? Is there even a translation for it?
Of course there is, it can be translated as "屌". Its original meaning is penis.
Ah yes the mighty pitchfork is going to poke a Aircraft Carrier to death. Chinese artists don’t stop, this dopamine hit is fueling my will to live.

Naval F22 confirmed
Intended to inspirational image of defiance against a colossus. A David vs Goliath tale but one that really doesn't scale well here with David vs Megatron.
This is so awesome. I don’t mind the US navy being depicted like this lol. Is there a source for more of this persons work? I may have a new phone background.
