if they just gave Russia a bit of respect

Too racist for that, fortunately

Lol isn’t there a faction in the Republicans that basically wants the opposite (getting Russia to help them against China)?

Indeed, although it’s their numbers, especially irl, that I find disheartening sometimes. Like, I interact with plenty of decent people too, but reactionaries are always the most outspoken and seen as the most authoritative in the circles I’m in (mostly work related). At the end of the day, their opinions fit in the discourse space allowed by the MSM, so they don’t come across as crazy, and they tend to be more career focused and therefore 1) the impression of work competency carries over in other areas, and 2) they spend less time exploring other areas of life like politics, and they are, like you pointed out, immature adults.

The more comments I read on Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and Twitter, the less I sleep and the more I risk a stroke. Idk how you manage going through all that crap

Unfortunately Lenin came before Xi. Marxism-Xism would’ve sounded much funnier than Marxism-Leninism

For those who may stumble upon this and think OP was exaggerating about this sort of drivel being directly from Mein Kampf…

Dang, wish I’d known that sooner so I could’ve called out people I’ve heard paraphrase this. Thanks for adding the quote!

Ok, thanks for the reply. It does sound somewhat similar to what I’ve heard (empty shopping malls), but not quite as dire as others would make it seem. All I hear is the economy is so bad and people are unhappy and the government is struggling to keep order but it seems blown out of proportion since the arguments for this are always the real estate bubble and how empty the shopping malls are.

Thanks for sharing this!

not great state of the economy.

I have a question about this, how did you see this reflected in the things you saw? Did you get any insight into how it’s affecting day-to-day life? I’ve heard this plenty from Chinese liberals, but given their bias and all the “China collapse” stories that have been circulating for many years now, I’m always a bit skeptical.

Very cool Greg, point taken, now you go stand in front of the wall

This leftist meme goes hard and it takes less than one minute to read! o7

:an-tifa:

It would be cursed if Kenya and Kazakhstan join as well 😳😳

They take a socialist country that exists in a predominantly capitalist world and which has to contend with that reality, and purity-test it against socialism on paper, abstracted from reality

From my experience, you can extend that to China too

Even though they’re self-professed leftists, they can’t get over their racism and western supremacism so easily 🤷

Indeed. I’ve seen way too many (supposedly highly educated) westerners irl gulping the most absurd things you could hear about China/Russia. You can literally tell them the plot of 1984 but say it’s China, or give them some Yeonmi Park level of crap, and they’ll believe it

If you starve hard enough, you can prolapse your entire body through the anus and come out on the other side in one piece

And the trains are filled with lampshades made from organs by the rats who ate the dog

Lmao that emoji is too good

I’ve got a coworker like that. Nobody batted an eye when they basically said NATO should’ve done what that twitter post shows
