Xiaohongshu has been actually really enjoyable for just seeing some of the daily life stuff that the Chinese folks do. Everyone there seems so happy compares to the States.
Yup. Like I know a lot of others here get it but it's nice for those those that were still under westoid propaganda to have their eyes open a bit. Curious to see if this has any staying power.
But on the other hand, I've had a few arguments with dorks on TikTok and such about what dictatorship of the proletariat even means so idk.
That's something I'd be interested in. I've seen some but not a lot so my feed alg hasn't figured it out for me yet lol. I did see a badass woman using nunchuck adjacent type martial weapon(I am not super familiar with things lol) in her living room the other day and was like "their culture is just so much cooler than ours."
Okay here's some interesting cultural stuff I've found.
Let's start out with this person who is into dance and ballet and stuff. https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5e19e116000000000100aaeb That top pinned video (the green dancer) enchanted my wife and I. I'm not a ballet guy but it's the first time I ever looked at a ballet type dance and was able to see artistically exactly what was being represented while doing zero translation of the Mandarin.

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5c2ed2c30000000007003f5d Yi people. The women's outfits and hats look like they could be out of haute couture. Like it's modern except its not. These are traditional. As a side note I showed one of these to my wife and she got teary eyed. She was literally taken aback by how stunning and beautiful the clothing and women were (I think it was the hat one which is towards the top). That is kind of what I love about a lot of these types of pages centered around promoting the peoples around China and the historical outfits and such; so many of them are such good photographers and editors that they really know how to capture and edit striking photos and videos to really wow you and make you instantly be interested in them and their history and their clothing and so on. Quite effective.

Some I have no idea what they are about but they have great historical outfits and such. I think some are just re-enactors or enthusiasts about historical clothing. Either way, it's a treat for my eyes because it's stuff I haven't really seen before outside of the occasional movie or whatever.

Funny how a dictatorship of the proletariat does that

my favorite accounts are the ones that are just promoting the minority ethnicites and other stuff like historical outfits and shit
I found a guy who just puts firecrackers in stuff in increasing intensities. We truly are one people.
i found that one too!
