      It's pretty great though. Sometimes I forget a friend's birthday and just call up the Ministry for State Security and get the date from them.

    Redditors have jumped from "we must free the chinese from the ccp" to "we must harness the evil ccp's power to disappear the chinese"

      Isn't it interesting that all the Russian and Chinese secret weapons are always just things that exploit weaknesses formented by America's own capitalists and politicians?

      I feel like I have a low attention span and I find tiktok completely unusable because you can't skip forward or when the video plays unmuted for several seconds you can't go back to the beginning... It induces a very unwanted sense of loss of control... I have no idea how people are using this and enjoying it. Just thinking about it gives me a lot of anxiety. Especially because youtube copied the bad parts and is now trying to force this on us.

          does that work on the app? there's also a guide claiming you can disable shorts but there's no option to disable shorts where it says it is.

    Some dude on 4chan like 5 years ago posted a definitely true greentext of getting some Chinese guy banned off like League of Legends or some shit by putting a copypasta in chat and somehow that has become reality for these people

    The communist party has perfect pinpoint awareness and control of all of its citizens internet usage but instead of just like, turning off their internet and sending a warning to knock it off if someone starts doing shit they dont like(in the minds of these reactionaries), they instantly imprison people upon reading a phrase apparently.

    I'd like to think that at least on Reddit I can bait dipshit Americans into dying of easily preventable heart disease by getting them to navigate to subs full of shitty fried foods like /r/foodporn. (Yes, I know that most of the posters in that sub are American.)

    I've asked actual Chinese people about this and it's not as big a deal as westerners think it is. They don't teach about tiananmen square protests in school, but you can literally just go up to your teacher after class and ask about it and they'll tell you. It's not some big secret, the government just doesn't want people to talk about it in public life (ie try to start another protest). They aren't making sure everyone has purged the event from their memories, that wouldn't be possible.

    But ultimately it's not even that consequential to know about it, so the government killed some people 40 years ago, so what? Redditors act like they are "exposing" the CCP but I'm pretty sure every Chinese person is aware that the government kills people sometimes. The party of Mao Zedong ain't exactly pacifists. No one in China is going to try to overthrow the government because some redditor told them the "truth" about their country, which I guess is their goal with all the anti-CCP posting.

        Don't ask Americans about Katrina, they literally know nothing about it. Think it was just some big hurricane and that was it

      They don’t teach about tiananmen square protests in school, but you can literally just go up to your teacher after class and ask about it and they’ll tell you.

      I mean, I could probably have gone up to my US History teacher after class and asked about the Bay of Pigs Invasion. I don't know what kind of answer I'd get. But unless this subject was of particular interest, I doubt I'd get more than "Yeah, it happened back in the 60s and had something to do with Cuba getting nukes". Like, not anything even remotely useful or comprehensible.

      Redditors act like they are “exposing” the CCP but I’m pretty sure every Chinese person is aware that the government kills people sometimes. The party of Mao Zedong ain’t exactly pacifists. No one in China is going to try to overthrow the government because some redditor told them the “truth” about their country, which I guess is their goal with all the anti-CCP posting.

      Americans think the entirety of mainland China is going to do Hong Kong style revolts if they even hear a whisper of a rumor that the government did a civil rights crime 40 years ago.

      Nevermind that the Hong Kong revolts were a complete failure or that Hong Kong was in a unique political position relative to the mainland for centuries. You just need to go online and post "Winnie The Pooh did Tianamen Square" enough times and hundreds of millions of people will throw off their shackles (the shackles that give them retirement at age 60, high quality health care, comfortable homes, cutting edge infrastructure, modern entertainment, etc) and do a brand new revolution that reinstalled whatever's left of the KMT hidding out in Taiwan.

    Moon is terrible. It's terrible on how much he's spreading, I've gotten sent his videos before which is just far-right propaganda that is done in the style of those 4 hour videos talking about a random youtuber like The Right Opinion or j aubrey

    Who needs to go to reddit when we had someone post in here that you can't mention Tianamen in China all because the article linked in the post was about Chinese internet laughing at the US. Weird thing to defend imo.

    In China, everytime you say the words "Tianamen Square", their Xiaomi Alexa detects it through it's microphone and sends the government a signal which promptly triggers an unmarked black van full of PLA soldiers to come to your house to put a bag over your head and take you to an Uyghur Extermination Camp where your organs are harvested and sent to Xi Jinping's personal chef so he can use it as a fertility chinese folk medicine to prepare a soup used to keep an erection.

      It's like that Vice documentary on the DPRK, where they were basically like "here are people just going around, living their lives. Clearly, they're trying to pretend things are normal for us!"
