Libs and chuds in the replies frothing and downvoting anyone correctly pointing out that the US military said it was not a spy satellite when they shot it down.
The frothing is normal. If they happened to be frothing while downvoting, it is simple coincidence.
it's an attempt to create something literary for once by channeling Poe
There were several incidents during the couple of weeks this was happening. The “intelligence” community kept fear mongering about China sending spy balloons and building facilities in Cuba. But the military would immediately say “none of this is accurate. We have no idea where you're getting these reports.”
Couldn't be Comcast. The Chinese couldn't afford the bill. And the customer service they would have experienced would have forced them to change their communist ways....
I'm in absolute awe. I didn't realise they made people this stupid.
What are they talking about lmao. Comcast customer service is radicalizing. The opposite of what they are saying.
I wouldn't be surprised if they thought Comcast was communist. I mean its got Com in it right?

Oh my god we are libs

PMC vs actual working class perspective on corpos
I just realized they probably think communism is when the government is a capitalist monopoly
which chinese spy balloon though? the one that was an 8th grade science club's project or one of the other ones?
I can’t believe it’s been 8-9 years.
Godamn I remember my parents getting so riled up about that
Death to America
how 2 piss off whyt 'people'
If you Google lense this kid (i forgor) you get a bunch of Quora questions from chuds and reddit athiests asking why "liberals think Islam is above critcism".
Oh hey look, a bunch of reddit usernames that suspiciously fit a similar format
It's the default username generator on reddit.
Oh I know, but still weird there are that many accounts that can't pick a unique username, and they seem to congregate in threads where contentious political issues are being discussed.
I've gotten into a habit of translating Reddit threads like this into Mandarin and showing my Taiwanese friends. Most of them aren't fans of the PRC and even they find it funny at what Redditors believe while also getting turned off at the barely subtle racism. The women are always disgusted when they bring up their Chinese girlfriends/spouses as some sort of example of how brainwashed or "traumatized" the Chinese are.
the infinite source of global revolutionary potential is showing people what crackers say about them on the internet
That thread is filled to the brim with people who have no clue how telecommunications work, it's hilarious. The mental gymnastics they're pulling is beyond olympian level - "why was is designed to connect to American internet providers?!!". - mf doesn't understand the concept of designated radio bandwidth or pubic access points... Or maybe just paying for an international data service so they can send fucking weather data back home. Imagine the horror on their face if they went to China and they could connect to hotel guest WiFi - "the see see pee pee hacked muh fone!!!". 🤣🤣🤣
Remember the congressman asking "can tick tock access the home wifi network?"
"Do you censor people for talking about the Weeger genocide"
designated radio bandwidth
libertarian ham operators are fascist, probably
"Where is it now?"
"Near a place called Cactus, Washington and the weather is sunny. It's flying over a lake and... Wow."
"What?"
"Hooters. There's a girl sun bathing. Naked."
"Going into hover mode. Recording hyper-enhanced video by zooming in - to 25 million pixels per centimeter."
"How can you do all that? This is just a weather balloon - right? Haha. What are we using for quantum internet entanglement?"
"The local motel's wi-fi."
"The tech never has made any sense at all to me... Anyway - what's on the agenda today?"
"Before lunch - breaking into the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, American election systems also spreading disinformation, etc. After lunch - being generally evil. You know - the usual."
The one that they obliterated with goddamn missiles? Yeah sure whatever, and it was smuggling tons of illegal drugs and propaganda and also it was torturing puppies and also it was made of cheese. You can say anything about it at this point, it's all equally provable
it's worth noting: their super gundam trillion $ airforce missed the balloon with the first missile
They were calling it a “Chinese spy balloon” in the articles where the military/state dept was explicitly saying it wasn’t doing any spying.
"how could people believe such obvious lies"
" well yeah its a spy balloon, duh"
I hate this country and its inhabitants. This is so clearly an inflammatory piece meant to rile up the few remaining people that either care or believe that this thing existed for nefarious purposes. Go to hell state department.
Chinese CCP communist party
Poe's law at work: some of them seem to think that rural chinese restuarants are involved in espionage
holy shit these tin foil ass comments
This was an overt act meant to grab the US military’s attention. IMO, this was just a probing attempt to see what our reaction was.
This is why I'm not that scared of China. Relaying information is a basic strategy here, especially for HAO. They essentially worsened our relationship with them, spent a ton of money, and got zero information in return.
400 dollar balloon vs 500,000 dollar missile 
i didn't even catch that part. if they didn't prefix it by talking about china it's impressive how much it applies to the US
It's always 
every accusation is a confession
Well in that case it was a complete success, they found out we react to the slightest stimuli like paranoid, easily led dumbasses
