    you know this happens to me occasionally in real life

    I mention China's high speed train system and then it's just a firehose of Winnie the Pooh, concentration camps, spying, dictator, etc from people who are otherwise not even engaged politically

      The whole Winnie the Pooh thing is so weird, from what I heard the Chinese don't give a shit about it, let alone Xi himself. My Chinese language partner had never heard of the whole thing, she thinks Xi is great and when I asked her about it she was like "Hahaha wow he does look a bit like him, so cute!"

      It's just westeners circlejerking over how edgy and revolutionary they're being while making themselves look like bumbling morons.

      when they do that you got to channel your inner boomer "well you can't believe everything you read" :grillman:

      they will break sometimes if you just don't auto agree with them
