>>11478651>we need to name diseases according to how or how not it'll be shitposted about on /pol/That's a great idea, fuck geography and obvious shorthand, this should've been called the Sinophobia Exploiting Respiratory Disease or SERS.
I hope people understand how the CCP is abusing shit like this to pretend it's somehow defending the dignity of "China" when it itself represents the biggest stain on "China" by merely still existing. They don't actually give a fuck what anyone calls it, just so long as they can pretend to be seen as "defending" the Chinese people when actually what they're doing is sacrificing their hopes and dreams and labor and pain in exchange for adding 0s to their offshore bank accounts. The CCP has long cultivated a perception in Chinese (traditional and social) media that the rest of the world is 'out to get them' and that nobody but the CCP stands between the people of China and malevolent foreign forces. Most people by now know well enough to see through all the bullshit, maybe even more so inside China than abroad these days, seeing as how this thread is still up.
SARSCoV-2 was named because it is closely related to SARS. CoVID-19 disease was named such not to have people freaking out too much about another virulent form of SARS now rapidly spreading.
If /pol/ actually wasn't 50% CCP astroturfing disguised by posters pretending they're not 50 cents through continually attacking "China" and hurling insults at Chinese people (most if not all "bug people" and "nuke China" etc. posts are CCP-produce in case you hadn't figured that out yet) thereby creating a narrative where Chinese people are conditioned to feel like they're being "attacked" by "foreign forces" and the CCP supposedly "standing up" for them and "China", KEK, then it would be calling it Winnie the Flu or C-virus or some such.
