While I can’t verify that it’s all correct,...

A real journalist could. madeline-smug

Or a historian or somebody who can go to the library.

This so-called journalist is putting in a level of effort lower than "skimming the wikipedia article"

Also it CAN tell you about it on the local version, only the cloud version has censorship in place.

Xi has written several books about what it is he wishes to do and you can just go to China but yeah secretive ahhhhhhhhh that's me yelling

China: this is what we are going to do

China: does the thing they just said they were going to do

China "watchers": no one could have predicted this

Westerners portray China's censorship as if it is to keep the Chinese people from knowing about certain topics, which would be laughable to any Chinese citizen.

It is quite obvious the goal of censorship is reinforce the notion that casually posting about politically sensitive topics on shitposting forums, internet image boards, and other mediums easily influenced & maligned by adversaries will result in your post being removed.

China clearly gives no fucks if all the exact same people had these exact same conversations offline as the US can't deploy 100k LibGPT color revolution bots on the ground in Chongqing.

The whole point is to avoid letting the West set the narrative. They don't need their narrative to be the only narrative. They just need to prevent the West from injecting theirs.

one of the most secretive countries in the world

Granted their media isn't totally available in English, but what do they mean? I can ask a Chinese netizen whatever I want.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Over 1 billion people are all keeping secrets from you. They know you go online and ask them questions, so they all agreed to tell you lies as a bit.

They don't do this to anyone except you and this journalist, specifically.

There is a super anti-China lib in my family that acts like they know all about the place because they read the mainstream media and went there for a week on business twenty years ago. They legit think that the walk-around China videos on YouTube I showed them are all coordinated Chinese state government propaganda.

Their perfidious sheep-like netizens, our free-thinking truth telling internet users.

"I can't verify that it's all correct because my brainrot is so total I can't do basic research for an article so I'll vaguely half-remember a shitty play that glosses over slavery in its entirety"

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Right lmao

Didn't bother to actually check/corroborate any of that arduously lengthy 449 word response with the play's script, or even the wikipedia article on the play or the person, just "passes the vibe check, good enough"

An alarming number of westerners have completely outsourced their basic mental faculties to ChatGPT

The national park service has a persistent problem with making bear proof trash cans because there is a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the stupidest humans.

The second paragraph about Hamilton cannot be anymore lib. I don't think even the Onion can come up with this. i-cant

I don't have anything against being ignorant, especially about the life of a genocidal founding father of the US, but why are people compelled to post their Ls like this?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

that second paragraph is beyond parody holy shit data-laughing

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

I refuse to accept that people like this were born, and not grown like in some sort of Brave New World incubation chamber where some portion of the incubees have their brains injected with lead during early development so they will be more easily controlled and induced to write shit like this.

I'm saying this level of idiocy is so elegant it must have been intentionally designed.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

Lmao that second paragraph

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

the musical of record

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Please tell me this is satire

The musical reference is a giveaway for satire, right?

Right?
