more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
Anyone: "Did you know in China they have this cool thing? Just an interesting cultural difference I thought I'd share. Making new friends and learning about the world on this app is so cool :)"
Someone inevitably: "So you know that as we speak Chinese citizens are being forced at gunpoint to do their hourly salute to the east in honour of Xi Jinping, right? 🙂 And also that they hate you? 🫣 Did you know what they hate you oh my god they hate you so much and are plotting this very moment to get a hold of your ebay browsing data (like all the other american tech corps but wtv 🙄) to undermine our righteous american way of life (which has its itty bitty teeeeeny tiny flaws 😬) but is clearly superior in all ways to China's constant brutal day to day moment by moment–"
I really hope you start to deconstruct the McCarthy inside of you. Best wishes to you.
Do you not see how much of a non-response you gave? It's a strawman. At no point have I made any untrue statements. Please try to demonstrate how not being able to decide the direction and philosophy of your government in any meaningful manner makes you free.
I hope you realize how illogical your arguments are here because you aren't making any coherent point other than demonstrating a lack of real education on these subjects.
Scariest stories. Try not to get Red Scared.
Are you capable of having an informed adult conversation? You seem to be struggling with your ability to respond intelligently. If you really think you have a valid point to make then do that. If you can only respond in pre-drafted talking points you picked up from the internet consider not replying and maybe read a book.
fir fucks sake you think economists are the ones making lusts of what constitutes freedom
This is a shitposting sub, and you are a tar pit
You didn't start off talking this way. You shifted to it when I challenged you in ways you normally aren't for example by pointing out the many ways in which China has abandoned leftist ideal by supporting an investor class and exploiting the working classes to enrich the elites. You don't have a built in reply because you're used to arguing talking points not having to actually think.
You seemed to actually be capable of thinking so it is sad that you made this choice.
Yeah I'm so owned right now
