This is impressively unhinged.

None of that guy's posts are unusual for anyone to the left of the Democratic Party, and the 'corps/corpse' pun makes perfect sense in a context that involves the name 'Doomscroll'.

Idk if you just don't know any leftists IRL or what. The way the press and the political establishment are doing their damnedest to gear the American public up for a new cold war against our biggest trade partner (lolwut??) strikes many real people as irksome, worrying, and ridiculous. Even more libertarian leftists, who are loudly and frequently (and often correctly) critical of China (and usually muddled when it comes to anti-imperialism, besides), can smell bullshit when they read a bunch of stories about 'social credit' which turn out to be mostly hot air, or they watch two presidential candidates derail debates on a national stage just for detours where they take turns of accusing each other of being the one who is really soft on China.

This reminds me of the last presidential primary, when some boomer libs on Facebook would manically accuse anyone who criticized Biden too harshly of being a Russian agent.

Sorry dude, not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot or a foreign agent.
