It really is astounding to think that the leader of China is a party apparatchik that actually did shit. Like, he spent years in the countryside making the lives of people better. Imagine literally any Western politician from anywhere doing anything that actively helps people and then getting rewarded for doing a good job enough that they end up becoming leader of their nation. It's an entirely different paradigm from what I'm used to and I still often find it unbelievable.
dude literally had a shit explosion cake him in poop, then proceeded to create little shit exploders across an entire province to heat peoples houses, and now hes the leader of the free world
The prince who was promised, harnessing shit for the greater good :take-a-xiat: :xi-clap: :xi-lib-tears:
This compared to Biden talking about kicking out black kids at a pool or whatever
It had bad and good parts, but ultinately getting the Red Guards to touch grass cooled the CR enough to stop things spiralling apart.
Xi was part of the "educated/priviledged urban youth sent to the countryside to do work and be re-educated by living and helping with the peasantry " policy during the CR . It was a correct in general touching grass campaign but wasnt directly about red guards ( tho a big part of them were included)
Spiritual growth is cool and all but becoming swole enough to carry 80kg of wheat on your back for miles in the mountains>>>>
