    Also I got downvoted for posting the American version of the tianenmen square copypasta... despite it being twice as long as the Chinese version, and the Chinese version mentioning vague shit like “freedom” and “Winnie the Pooh” while every instance in the American version is a separate massacre or actual crime america committed.

        I feel like that's a boon in the kinds of discussions where these get posted. Once the copypastas come out nobody's getting convinced of anything, so taking up twice as much space per post makes it that much easier to dominate the airwaves.

      Do you have that handy, btw? I've been looking for the version that starts off diverse but just devolves into a list of massacres by the end.

    These types of things have stopped bothering me because I've realized that these are just tantrums of the privileged citizens of a slowly dying empire that can't handle the fact that its time is coming to an end. China grows in influence every day and America's shrinks and that's a good thing even if you believe China is capitalist.

    None of these people have ever been to China right? I'm not a reg on /r/sino but it literally seems innocent as fuck. It's like these redditors live on another planet. I guess if you poison people's minds so much with imperialism and warmongering they'll see the devil in anything.

    I tried agitating on that post and some :centrist: redditor asked why my comment history is mainly calling out racism, and said I needed to go to therapy because I was seeing racism everywhere. Maybe it's because, I dunno, reddit is full of that shit, especially in online South African circles which are full of apartheid apologists? Like should I just let racist shit go unchallenged? R*dditors ffs, why are they like this?

      Redditors have this really virulent type of brainworm where they think racism has to be 100% irrational and disconnected from material reality to count as racism. If you have any reason at all, any rationalization for your attitudes, then it doesn't count as racist to them. And of course since racism is usually tied up in economical, social, and political issues, this means most types of racism aren't racism. I've had redditors try to argue that it isn't racist to distrust black people because black people commit more crime. They weren't even talking about implicit bias, they just straight up think you should be allowed to treat black people differently because of national crime stats.

          Yeah but by the time you get that far into the convo they've already convinced themselves that you're just bullshitting for daddy Xi pooh bear or whatever the fuck and shield their brains from introspection while they jump straight into "But the Uighurs!" and now you're a genocide denier to the audience if you continue arguing. It's like the perfect liberal trap. The only people who will seemingly consider what you're saying that far into the conversation are people who already agree.

    How do people find so much time to write out such annoying screeds?

    I barely write effortposts about actual things going on in the world or arcane theory I legitimately wish people could understand, and I don't really write much about those I would consider being some kind of political foe without rapidly losing interest after like 2 lines. How can people waste part of their spark of life on all the time it requires to think up all of that and try to promote it?

    I can't imagine what kind of motivations and lack of alternatives have for people to even write out:

    "... and all glory belongs to Emperor Xi Jinping, commonly known as "Xinnie the Pooh", "Chairman Pooh", "Big Honey", and "Guy who looks like he's allergic to bees but won't stop sticking his face in beehives". A brief look into /r/Sino will show you all kinds of news stories and articles, usually focusing on "here's how everyone who isn't us is lying to you". That's always a good sign. ..."

    let alone everything else in that post. It is just... so boring.

    I mean, I guess the answer is racism/owning the commies and having nothing better going on in life but like who can really sit at a computer and type and format all of that without just... deciding to do literally anything else?

    Go for a walk, take a nap, talk to friends, read a book, do anything that doesn't require sustained hatred and sarcasm and le epic phrases like this does... And all of that energy for what, saying Reddit is pro-china while getting lauded on there for such low-effort BS. What a payoff.

    It's such a sad post, every line is permeated with a depressing worldview and terrible humour.

    CW: all the bad stuff, I tried to change it up for r/politics. If anyone feels like doing the Q&A part, please do :)

    r/politics

    7,400,000 Freedom Lovers


    The Subreddit of the Day team wishes to apologize for any lost credit score that occurs as a result of your parents being poor. If you find yourself and your family being persecuted for speaking out against the government like the freedom-loving dissident you are, well, don't blame us. Blame the totalitarian, dystopian regime you're enslaved to.

    Ah, r/politics. Reddit's no stranger to strangeness, and neither is it free of controversial communities that exist to echo chamber themselves into frenzies and shit up /r/all . You've got all kinds of horrible subreddits on this site, but none are so glorious as r/politics. It might be because the CIA is known to operate here for propaganda efforts and Reddit's Director of Policy is a CIA plant. It could also be because Reddit's owners are just really into authoritarianism. Who knows? We can't see the cause, but we can see the effect. The effect is that r/politics is essentially a window into a parallel world where the US is perfect, the People's Republic of China is Satan's older, more evil brother, and all glory belongs to Godemperor Joe Biden, commonly known as "war hawk", "Creepy Joe", " Rapist " and "Guy who looks like he's been dead for 40 years but it fits because he's leading a dying empire". A brief look into r/politics will show you all kinds of news stories and articles, usually focusing on "here's how everyone who isn't us is lying to you". That's always a good sign. Some fella named Jim told me something similar back in Guyana in the 70s. There's something odd about some of those posts, isn't there? How it's consistently posted from a small source pool by accounts that only exist to hype up the DNC's interests?

    Who knows why that could be? Moving on...

    You know, I can appreciate the Chinese government in a way. They're at least honest, on some level, about how horrible they are. They don't even deny the murder of leading civil rights figures anymore, specifically the murders of Fred Hampton, and MLK. "Yeah, we killed a bunch of people who were protesting for equality, and we'll kill more, what are you gonna do about it?" Nothing. You see, because the United States is the largests empire in all of history, other countries have to put up with everything they do, up to and including their recend and ongoing concentration camps at the southern border. We don't care if they're detaining and killing hundreds of thousands of people, weaponizing rape, and committing countless unspeakable crimes against civilian populations as part of their long-running genocidal campaign to control as much as possible at any cost, as insane authoritarians are known to do. They are our most important allies (us referring to here as governments, corporations, and so on)so any and all offenses are forgiven. We won't stop virtue signalling and proclaiming our love of democracy and freedom around the world, oh no, because that would look bad, and we don't want our politicians and CEOs losing face over anything.

    Let's get back to Reddit. Reddit, as many of you know, was founded in 2005 by a couple of guys, one of whom invisibly edits people's internet comments to insult them and the other of whom is rich as hell and married a star tennis player. The third founder, the late Aaron Swartz, is one that Reddit isn't always keen on acknowledging due to his history of being an activist against all of the things that modern Reddit loves (such as invasions of privacy, user tracking, corporatism, political extremism, fostering hate, etc). I mention all of this because it's not as if Reddit was built to obey American propaganda groups or anything. I'm sure they started out firmly against such things. However, $20 is $20, and $300,000,000 buys a whole lot of not giving a fuck, and state actors have an easy time moderating unwanted information that's the effect of media centralization under capitalism, that's propaganda built in to the system .

    Speaking of propaganda, let's get back to the topic of r/politics. You're probably already seen it. If you ever posted anything that didn't end with I'll vote blue no matter who, or you said something horrible and wrong like "I think it's not cool that the Clinton Crime Family, Donald Trump and most other American elites run a pedophile ring and kill the guy responsible before he can release his information ", or if you quietly mumbled to yourself in the shower something that resembled the words "I wish things were better", then you're almost certainly banned. Serves you right for whispering within five meters of a device monitored under the Patriot Act.

    Only tangential (I don't spend enough time on Reddit to know empirically whether such shit is spewed by both chuds and libs over there), but I remember some white lib telling me in the middle of peak Russiagate "of course you should root for the Dems. Who else are gonna come to your defense when the GOP goes full sinophobia."

    Laughing my jaundice ass off.
