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.

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.

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5c1512dc000000000702858d This channel seems to be centered around "Chinese horse archery is pretty fucking lit, right?" I can get behind that.

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.

and lastly

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/61af7b37000000001000c16d These are my grampas they just don't know it yet.

i found that one too!

they should have impeached him jan 7th to prevent it when they could muster the political willpower to do it and actually get a few republicans on board but that ship sailed so fast

as far as any can guess impeaching a former president is totally fine. impeachment is just a political trial to remover from office AND prevent re-election

theres asking innocent questions and then theres asking "innocent questions" and then brow beating people when they refuse to take your bait

has brace served on every front?

my favorite accounts are the ones that are just promoting the minority ethnicites and other stuff like historical outfits and shit

ABOUT TIME

A Leonard Peltier protest in Boston was my first interaction with political action at around the age of 14. I was on a family trip and protestors walked by banging drums and chanting and someone smiled and handed me a flyer. It had Leonard on it. It was around '96 or so. This started me on a path to look into protesting, Indigenous struggles in America, leftist politics, and the lot.

Let this be a lesson to anyone, even the simple act of smiling at a kid and handing him a leaflet about your issue can ripple through time and have an effect. You never know who's heart you will touch.

Honestly, I could not tell.

In my city a few years ago white supremacists marched through the streets without a permit. Then an hour later we had a permitted protest for black rights and an end to police brutality. A comrade of mine stepped off the sidewalk with one foot. The cops beat her so badly she was hospitalized for a week.

This was in the Tampa Bay area, not some backwoods town in Mississippi.

"ad"? the election was finished months ago

I don't even understand what the big comment is trying to say... They point out that Trump is one of the most prolific liars and that he was elected a second time and also that by being exposed to lies we can better learn to discern lies from the truth but also that we demonstrably have not been able to do just that? Absolutely boggling.

Well the government wastes money on fruitless tasks all the time. But also they will be using it to reinforce the ignorant nonsense people already believe. Propaganda works best when it plays on preconceived notions. You can't just spend a billion dollars to convince people the average Chinese person has four arms and expect it to work. Additionally, I find it funny sometimes how much we leftists think anything that reinforces western ignorance must be by bots or whatever. It's a very liberal take. We have to start recognizing that westerners on average can be extremely ignorant all on their own.

Are we really out here trying to pretend that Americans don't hold ignorant backwards views about China? That everything they post online about it must be directly paid for by the US government?

This "everything like this must be a bot" is some real liberal posting. Do better, folks.
