ya i think the first world point is a good one, i feel like people in china do plenty to productively criticize the cpc in a more informed way than most of us could do. to be clear i don't personally have specific criticisms of china or their government or whatever, i don't know anything about it. but that's why i don't want to be exposed to only hardline total support from somewhere like genzedong cause i doubt that's the whole picture. but genzedong is there to annoy people on reddit and that's good, it's not there to inform me specifically lol.

if anything yeah i think the relative isolationism seems non-ideal to me but like, i wouldn't be surprised if there were strong reasons for it that i just don't understand cause obviously i'm not a chinese government official.

i think sports teams should have cheerleaders that like, hurl abuse at the players and just talk shit about them and how bad they are. that could be funny.
