Bruh, where do I start with this.
So first he talks about the Taliban having kidnapped several tourists based on US news, and while on the face of it it’s all definitely stuff that’s been reported…but it’s like, okay, what did the Taliban say about why they imprisoned those people? Did they have reason to potentially believe they were spies? Did they ACTUALLY take those people hostage or were they temporarily in prison for breaking a law?
Additionally…WE kidnap people; there’s literally civilians in Guantanamo who’ll never see their families again (AND they’re horrifically tortured); and there’s people in border camps, entire families which includes children.
The guy finally at some point has an encounter with the Taliban aaaaand…they check his permits, see everything’s okay, and then just leave, politely saying goodbye.
He says there’s only two things illegal to film in Afghanistan: military stuff and women; he admittedly says the military stuff is reasonable but doesn’t sound convinced in regards to women. Bruh, I’m working in Qatar and the women here don’t want to be filmed, and they’re protected by law from it (in one case a woman I work with went to the cops about it, and in another case a different woman I know literally yanked a phone from a Norwegian’s hand to personally delete a video he’d taken of her (he thought she hadn’t noticed)); the law reflects the culture just like it does back home.
He meets two Afghan Americans (they were born and raised in the states and went back to live in Afghanistan instead) and they were saying that it’s nothing like they’ve seen on the news and the guy has to basically pause and say it must be at least partly according to the news. BRO, YOU’RE SEEING WITH YOUR OWN EYES, EXPERIENCING IT YOURSELF THAT IT’S NOT LIKE THE NEWS HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE! HOW ARE YOU DENYING YOUR OWN EYES AND YOUR OWN LIVED EXPERIENCE THAT MATCHES THEIR DESCRIPTION!
He also says towards the end that yes, he’s had a good experience with the Taliban but that all it takes is ‘one a-hole to f’ it all up’; Bro, YOU’RE being that a-hole! You think back home it’s just that one a-hole cop to f’ everything up for you? A cop could mistake the phone in your hand for a gun and shoot you and he’d most likely get away with it.
How is this guy insisting on disbelieving his own eyes, that instead the news HAS to be correct? Why are people like this?
Didn’t watch because of the content warning but I think Americans are genuinely just that severely propagandized. Reality can be denied because our unbiased objective news said so
I’ve seen multiple videos of this one Uyghur guy who keeps telling different people about how he, an ACTUAL UYGHUR, is not being genocided, offering to take the camera outside and to show them; people are still disbelieving the very Uyghur guy they claim is being genocided. In one of his videos he finally got angry and just chewed out the other guy like mad, and I do not blame him! How are you ACTUALLY telling this guy about the very (province?) he’s living in?!
EDIT: They keep repeating the stuff they hear in the news and they are unable believe it’s wrong/lies
I keep telling libs to join xiaohongshu to see uyghur culture for themselves and it’s all “that app is basically controlled by the seeseepee, its all propaganda” like what?? Are they doing a cultural genocide eradicating uyghur culture and then covering that up by spreading and celebrating it?? It makes 0 sense. Pointed that out and got banned for “genocide denial”. I think they even purged the whole thread because I cant find it in my comment history lmao
Chinese libs should learn that libs are going to see every aspect of their lives as “SEEPEEPEE controlled” no matter what they or their government do to appease the West.
The one thing that keeps suprising me is how much goodwill non-westerners still have towards us. And constantly underestimating the racism. I saw a vid from an african lady complaining about tourists taking pictures of naked african children playing and assumed the racist trope in their head was “africans are poor”.
But yeah chinese libs saying the same shit as the demonstrators in the gdr and ussr is pretty scary to see.
Libs must think the CPC is doing the equivalent of Nancy Pelosi donning a kente cloth.
this dude always does this shit, he visited muslims in china and was like “HOW CAN YOU LIVE AS MUSLIMS IN THE LAND OF PORK”, trying to somehow twist china into being islamophobic. meanwhile an entire city of muslims is just living their lives in the background of his video, eating their beef and lamb.
He did a video where he went to Kazakhstan to eat Uyghur food because, in his words, Xinjiang is completely locked down and no one can get in. He also mentioned in the comments that he was paid by the US state department for the video. He later deleted the comment.
I had a weird feeling about this guy when, as his source, he showed clips from Fox news
he has videos like “24 Hour Moroccan Meat Tour: We Ate Every Animal!!” with the thumbnail saying “VEGANS BEWARE!” which is extremely and unnecessarily chud-coded
All his titles are meant to appeal to chuds who think non-white people eat gross things.
I’ve actually started using hints like that to get an idea of where people stand and so far it’s been accurate; there’s a guy on youtube who I used to watch who gave interesting historical facts who at some point apparently got criticized for a (keychain? magnet?) that said ‘make America great again’ and he said it was just cause he liked how it looked and that people were seeing everything as a reflection of political stance; later on he makes a video about how Western European countries made a mistake just allowing migrants in because of major cultural differences, citing crimes as evidence of ‘major cultural differences’.
I’ve noticed these little hints are usually a fairly accurate indicator of what type of people they are. People who are particularly upset about the new snow white movie for example can be very safely concluded to be chuds; especially since even if snow white had been played by a woman so white she’d look like a white walker they wouldn’t have watched it anyway and wouldn’t have even known it existed.
usians are the most propagandized people on earth
