I knew a guy years back who had been a sniper with another five eyes nation's special forces group and had been on some very shady missions (actual black ops type stuff, not the "advising" most SF do). One time when the topic came up, the guy snapped a bit, made a comment about how "You Americans are like F***ing robots", then proceeds to start going on about how Mossad is the most dangerous intelligence agency in the world. When asked what he's talking about he suddenly gets quiet and very quickly changes the topic.
They revere Mao officially in China. The propaganda is strong. Privately the embittered ex-ruling classes (who are still some way off being restored and resent it bitterly) will give each other knowing looks and say "He wanted to be an Emperor"
- but officially no criticism is allowed. There was a mayor caught on camera phone making disparaging marks about China's "Great Helmsman" during a boozy Karaoke session: he got punished for that.
In fairness marriage ceremonies no longer require couples to read to each other from Mao's Little Red Book in order to make the event sanctified and holy.
The numerous films with a wise Mao as their central figure have been latterly running out of material, having covered his glorious triumphs ad nauseam.
So they have started resorting to previously un-mined for and previously un-documented "Domestic Mao" material where we see how he gloriously counseled his wife and kids during their simple everyday household travails (and they in turn acknowledge his beneficence) in between his shifts enacting all his other, already promoted, triumphs.

In UK they call it "the increment", in Australia they call it "the quantum" - I met an SAS guy who admitted to being part of 'the increment": wouldn't be drawn on what he did though.
Friends with another guy who is ex Australian SASR - he told me a little about the quantum.
He got blown up in Afghan and next thing he woke up in a military hospital in Germany. Went back on operations.
Interestingly he isn't allowed to have an account on any form of social media.
His wife and relatives do though and not a day goes by where they aren't screaming at the top of their lungs about the evil banksters, Mossad, the Great Reset and 9-11 Truth. Can't think where they got their inspiration from.
