Populism

IE: doing popular things that make people like you, is inherently bad and evil.

They’re so scared of the unwashed masses they proscribe anything to do with them as evil regardless of the nature of the politics.

This seems like a rational use of resources

Nah that’s a chocodile which is a chocolate covered Twinkie

Konsi is very cute and I love your work. Hope things are going well!

Love seeing these regularly again. I don’t know if I was gone or you were gone but I’m happy one of us is back!

Go read up on videogame addiction. Reduces grey matter in the brain. Having socially isolated kids who only play games alone is damaging. Having kids touch grass in order to help avoid that is good.

“Least obvious psyop” after spewing straight up BS. Okay lol

I’m done goodbye

Look man I’m not gonna respond to anymore of this stuff. I just want to point out that most of what you said the first time is untrue and then you just double down and list a bunch of other things as truisms.

Be a little critical of narratives about places you know nothing about yeah?

Religious books are not banned. There are millions of christians in China. There are millions of Muslims in China. Reducing hours of video game playing could greatly assist with insane amount of hours that come with game addiction. It probably needs workshopped more but I personally think this change in coordination with providing youth with solid after school programs and activities would be good for long-term health and well being. That TikTok thing is BS. People in China watch just as much brainrot on douyin. Winnie the Pooh is beloved by people in China. Literally go around for five minutes and you’ll see his face plastered on shirts bags and as stuffed animals. As for the companies, this is good if true. Fuck companies doing whatever they want and hurting people. I hope they continue to have significant government oversight.

Xinjiang is a more complex situation but if you look into it all accusations of genocide come from one source, Adrian Zens. He’s a CIA asset who claims god revealed to him that it’s his mission to destroy China. I’m gonna listen to the Muslim countries (and the UN) that came and inspected the region and said nah it’s chill.

Have you ever talked to someone from there? I have and just asking them about this shit is really useful for learning that 80 percent of this stuff is untrue, and 20 percent is misconstrued.

That’s the thing, if a lie is a big as the ones you present here, everyone would know. Yet here we are and the average person from china will complain about a lot of things but never the things you brought up here.

Other people have tried gum and not had it help them. I find it pretty helpful for me so far. I’m now two weeks in and I only chew 2 pieces a day now. Only have it when smelling others’ cigarette smoke triggers my cravings. Overall, I’m gonna try to quit the gum by the end of next week.

I will note that I seem to have way easier of a time with nicotine withdrawal than other people I’ve talked to.

Smoke and fucking mirrors. I hate the people selling the planet.

Wish them a very painful die

I always smile at young kids if they meet my eye in public. Feeling loved and like you’re in a safe stable community is an invaluable part of growing up and I hope that all kids can feel a small amount of that from me.

I just mean it’ll give them access to this block. I don’t think liberals in Japan will jump ship with the west

Japan should just try communism. I hear it works great and then you can cozy up with your neighbors of Russia and China.

I’m a gen-z-er and I remember those. Relatively poorer area though so it may be related

Who’s posting this style of propaganda here? Also this is exactly how my Chinese friends write in English. In a webspace that is mostly American it really doesn’t seem that abnormal to contextualize your differing perspective.

Means tested genocide!

No necessarily half but that’s the logical result. theoretically there could be some weird group that doesn’t believe in genocide (part of the 69%) but would still support a pro Palestine candidate. Furthermore, as bad as the destruction of Palestine is many people only consider genocide to literally be the Holocaust and that style of commiting it. I could conceive of some pedants saying there isn’t a genocide but to stop the violence.

Though, I unfortunately think you might be right.

The US shooting itself in the foot by making the neocolonialist brain drain strategy fall apart because they’re too racist and paranoid is somewhat funny. Shitty for these people though.

Right, the only value and purpose of arts and literature, it’s creation and enjoyment, is to make a product to sell or consume a story. What a foolish opinion.

Sure, but what about the 500,000 people facing genocide and famine conditions in Gaza while the world just sends ships right on by into Israeli ports? It’s not great. I’m sure there’s food and medicine that’s really needed not getting to the people who do. However, foreign aid hasn’t fixed any of the issues in these regions and it’s wrong to assume that will change in the future.

Furthermore, westerners will always pour out sympathies now that it’s a problem for them. In the past decade we’ve seen the Saudis ruthlessly murder the yemeni people at the behest of the United States. I’m not saying yours are, but most of this is crocodile tears and to pretend otherwise is deliberately ignorant or dangerously naive.
