I lived in china for 4 years and Winnie has Def never been outlawed. Chinese censorship is much more sophisticated than "hey, that's illegal." There's not a list of pictures or memes or phrases that if you're caught with you'll get a visit from the police. No no no. There are hundreds of thousands of people monitoring social media for the latest "subversive" trends. When a new trend develops that content is blacklisted and just not allowed to be spread. You'll send your friend a picture and it never shows up on their phone. There's no indication on your end that it didn't send or they didn't get it. You can have this content on your phone, the CCP doesn't care. They care about it spreading. And you'll never get in trouble for trying to spread it because the system doesn't allow it to spread.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
That's actually kinda cool in a techno dyatopian kinda way.
I was going to say horrifying.
Yeah it is horrifying but it is a cool concept. Ofc you'll know something is off when your friend doesn't respond to what you sent them.
That happens to me on YouTube; the only way I can talk to some people is on rednote.
Seems more like Huxley than Orwell.
They get you with inconvenience instead of brute force.
Makes sense, ones an inoffensive cartoon, the others a cunt who should die.
The many faces of JD Vance
Didn’t this turn out to be fake?
No, his face really does look like that
None of the documentation or statements by US officials are consistent, and appear to include a bit of lying. So people are leaning towards him being at least partially correct in his accusations.
In short, they saw the picture and then began an extended interview where they made a bunch of false claims, and used made up reasons to deny him. Then later claimed they used more reasonable argument, which also doesn't really hold water.
I think US customs said it was because he admitted to using drugs in the past and had photos of a paraphernalia on his phone. He said they ignored that stuff and focused on the photo. So it comes down to whether you think one specific customs employee could potentially see something they don’t like and choose to refuse entry for another reason or that customs is being honest and open about the reason his entry was refused and that the people making the announcement fully understand the situation (including the thoughts of the person that examined the photos).
I feel like the latter is unlikely, but I don’t have enough evidence to say either way. I don’t think drug paraphernalia in a photo or admitting past drug use are good reasons to refuse entry either.
so dude came to help reducing the amount of drugs available on the streets and got kicked out? smh
Left yes. Right no.
No, that is actually the vice president of the USA.
I'm just curious if the "fun countries" will "let me right in" because of my profile picture?
