Damn imagine living in a country that uses art to popularize a nationalistic mythology. Anyways off to watch Hamilton for the thirtieth time and then listen to some country albums from circa 2002.
Honky Tonk Badonkadonk does make me want to do the pledge of allegiance.
Wouldn't them choosing to play some music by definition make it approved?
they could choose to let their political opponents organize the music i suppose...? this is why you shouldn't pay attention to anything chuds say
efforts to improve the party's image
tfw the party's image is better and the trust in the party is already considerably higher than any US administration ever had
Implying US government events play music which is not state-approved.
You didn't see Rage Against The Machine perform at Biden's inauguration?
They don't need to "improve" the image of something that nearly 10% of the adult population is part of. Saying improve makes it sound like it comes from a negative image in the first place when in reality it's incredibly popular to begin with they just want it to be even better, pump those numbers up, get 20% of the adult population politically educated and into the party.
Only 20%? Fuck it, not only are we going to Xinjiang, president Xi, we're going to Guangxi and Tibet and Gansu, and we're going to Shandong and Yunnan and Sichuan. And we're going to Jiangsu and Guizho and Qinghai. And then we're going to Beijing and we're going to take back Zhongnanhai! Hyaaaaa!
I think some realistic expectations are good! The best we could probably expect is probably a 0.3-0.5% per year. So it would be 10-20 years to get another 10% in there.
America calling out Nationalism when every speaker at both the DNC and RNC were behind literally 50 American flags is hilarious.
Remember when people were losing their shit over who did and did not wear a flag lapel pin?
In a display of blatant totalitarianism and evil Asiatic despotism, the See See Pee is picking the music for the celebration of its own anniversary.
Somehow this toolbag singing isn't state approved propaganda because Biden is in the white house.
America would never celebrate a historic anniversary with overly tacky displays of state worship.
If people have time to read NYT's low effort garbage, why not watch the performance instead? For all the bullshit sinophobic wishcasting you see on reddit and twitter, the demonstration of competence in this one performance sweeps it all away.
The PRC playing the internationale and proudly displaying the hammer and sickle always makes me feel proud somehow. Makes me reflect on the weight of socialist history.
