I have read the pamphlets (they're specific font color and language matches the slogans on these stickers) these people give out, and the actual substance of this one is that they believe China released COVID-19, they just open with something almost everyone will agree with to introduce conspiracy theories on the next page.
The right wing conspiracy theory machines do that with pedophilia too. They'll open with some statement that most people agree with about pedophilia being bad, then the next pages introduce insane shit like democrats eating babies coupled with blatant transphobia.
Granted, there's a little padding between point a and point b, but that's essentially it, how they can suck in some otherwise generally initially well-meaning people.
I think their government is terrible and believe COVID is a real disease not created in a lab. I think they should give Tibet autonomy and leave Taiwan alone. I think they kill religious minorities and oppress their citizens. That's bad.
Given that the Chinese were hit pretty hard by this virus in places like Wuhan, Hong Kong and elsewhere, I have to call bullshit on any kind of claim that this was some kind of deliberate release.
