Hope it was worth selling out your people

You catch a lot of shit because you, rightfully, criticize China & the CPC’s willingness to embrace neoliberal economics and institutions like the IMF, and don’t pull any punches. To the “AES can do no wrong” crowd, this is a severe transgression, one that shatters the comfortable zone they prefer to occupy with clean good guy / bad guy divides.

Sometimes I think your takes may be a tad more harsh than necessary or not giving China enough credit for what they do right, but all-in-all, you have some of the best takes on this site, ones that are grounded in reality and materialist thinking and offer a useful perspective that usually gets filtered by the rosy lenses we analyze China through.

You have some of the most sober-minded analysis here, but people don’t like that because it occasionally rips people from the comfort of believing someone else is gonna fix the world for us. I especially appreciate your style of posts because it offers a critique of China’s decision-making without the stink of western leftists being chauvinists disconnected from actual socialist developments. It’s the exact type of check on our own cognitive dissonance we all need here.

Virtually every American has some form of pestilent brainworms. Figure out how to speak to them and get them on the pipeline. Deworming libertarians is an exhausting task I’d only really feel comfortable asking our white comrades to do.

I’m looking for a robust, bodacious democracy

I see the slammer inspiration

the original Pooh meme that China censored is racist as fuck

Libs just want to believe the John Oliver narrative is true and that Xi was just so personally offended that he banned all depictions of Winnie the Pooh characters.

Meanwhile in reality, I see Winnie the Pooh character merch in like half of Chinese media I have consumed.

Libs, upon hearing this, would certainly contort reality to claim it was a sneaky way for the actor or social media user to subtly stick it to the corrupt CCP.

The carp of truth refers to finding the truth with the help of lies.

this is exactly how we engage with reading western media

Terminally online

I have converted most of my core friends into commies. The rest I maintain a relatively disconnected relationship with where we catch up on infrequent occasions and shoot the shit. I’m at the point where if you cannot accept my political views, I’m going to bully you until you adopt my views or leave.

Everyone who knows me knows me as an outspoken Marxist, so they are the ones who avoid talking politics with me. I had a reputation of being intelligent and well-read, so most of my friends are apprehensive to pick a fight they aren’t sure they can win. ADHD rabbit holes do have some upsides I guess.

Looks like a fake gun
