Lol, lmao even.
All my “China experts”, gone
huh weird, I thought the reasons why Chyna is wrong were self-evident!
No, in fact, It is difficult and time-consuming to do the work that proves Beijing is lying. Sort of like if Beijing weren’t lying and it was hard work to convince everyone that China is pure evil and even considering anything they had to say was a dangerous thought contagion.
Not too different from the liberal myth that people are inherently selfish, so we have to have a capitalist police state, sorry.
Socialism can never be left uncontested by bourgeois states because it would prove that, given the opportunity, humans can cooperate. The tendency of children to share, to selflessly give to others, would be understood as natural and not an aberration that has to be corrected.
The bourgeoisie wins if people are alienated and distrust one another.
Even if you can’t base a government around socialism because of “human nature” or whatever (just arguing on their behalf here) it still proves that capitalism doesn’t have to be a totalizing socially dominant ideology for society to exist and we aren’t in some kind of eternal man-against-man forever war.
Like even if the cooperative model falls apart at scale and you need firmer hierarchies and shit when organizing millions of people the success of state socialist programs like China proves that that the entire society doesn’t have to brutally compete to force social darwinist bullshit to succeed.
It turns out you don’t need petty small business tyrants to have a fuckin grocery store.
Does this mean I won’t have to hear about fucking Shen Yun anymore?
Unfortunately they are a cult amd cults tend to be pretty resilient
If the US cuts off funding to them they’ll probably stop the travelling show though.
inshallah. fucking hate that shit coming through my junkmail
If only
I unironically actually want to watch Shen Yun—for ironic purposes, of course.
I just don’t want to give them any money.
I’ve got it on good authority that it’s got pretty effects and choreography but still somehow boring.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
do nothing

Lmao, it’s just that easy folks
What, you don’t even believe in “democracy” enough to make it’s propaganda unless you get a fat paycheck out of it too? Pathetic.
At least they can quietly slink away this way, instead of everyone realizing that now that people are able to easily and directly interact with Chinese people, and even privately speak with them in DMs, that the idea of “China Watcher” as a a profession is totally asinine.
Bethany, Zenz and the rest of that whole disgusting crew were going to have a much tougher time pushing propaganda going forward anyway.
lol post after post of immaculate self ownage
RIP anti-tankie propaganists. Here’s hoping there’s a mutual aid fund for special agents.
I’m not on that social media site but please tell me she is getting roasted in the comments.
She gets relentlessly clowned on in the comments.
American exceptionalism strikes again. We don’t need an NGO industrial complex to prove that the American governance model is deeply flawed, it’s self evident.
China needs an entire ecosystem of propagandists to “uncover flaws”
Meanwhile America openly drone strikes weddings and brags about their failure to overthrow Venezuela. Like what are you even talking about Bethany
guys we have to take this seriously, if we stop being racist we’re gonna forget what democracy is
wait, so “you are a shill paid by the CCP” was just projection?!?!
lol, get a real job loser
Realistically, how long does it take for this to make any international change? After decades of propaganda, it will take a while for the brain worms to be sorted out.
Watch public opinion polling, major swings (sans a major event) take around 5-7 years. Contradictions are sharpening right now so that is probably going to be shorter and more volatile.
Don’t worry, we’ll continue to get our steady diet of brain worms in the empire.
But our friends on XHS won’t keep getting stories about the president shutting down the power grid to save a bird.
Anecdotally Reddit was very leftist right after the election, almost as if someone had turned the bots off. Normally it takes a long time to change public opinion, but I think this system is so fragile it withers within months.
