post history is 90% how the CPC is not perfect and that what the world needs right now is for rural chinese to overthrow their corrupt "patsoc" government (which definitely wouldn't result in another century of humiliation)

nationalism is when foreign corporations are not allowed to sleazily profit off of economically and socially vulnerable people

social conservatism is when there are fewer sites to find noods to 拉 my 面条 to

are labubus popular in the west right now? they became a thing in asia like autumn last year? and had pretty much died out a few months ago. it's weird seeing a lot of references to them on western social media.

the inverse of this is i guess the teddy bear from toy story 3 which became weirdly popular like 2022/23? and whose cultural stock value still hasn't completely crashed somehow

unironically taking their phones away and having them live and work for a couple of years in some remote place doing something practical and boring and having to interact mostly with people who have never used words like "blockchain" or "synergy" may be necessary

it's possible this is a new model where all the people on the tram are pedaling to power it, like that quirky bar bike in germany except evil and dystopian

i've read several books and they almost all have some conveniently white racist side character that can yell Ns and other racial slurs. and most non-white characters talk in some level of uncomfortable racial dialect that's almost minstrel-level, which is not great when it's like the green mile and it's a rural guy from like the 30s, but becomes absurd when it's a more modern character. the black tower books had a main character with some kind of split personality where one side of her was talking like a 1920s racist cartoon, which was explained in universe as... idk

Lots of bullshit details here.

China expert was in China for a whole 18 months as an anglo expat english teacher. expat english teachers are famously known to learn much about the cultures in which they live. in no way do most of them make mostly expat friends, go to expat bars and eat at western slop restaurants

First thing they noticed about China: the macdongles is different! Surely this offers some insight into the asian mind.

The difference: I'm sure we've all seen the old redditesque urban legend where someone's dad prides himself of not cleaning up after eating, because being a messy dickhead "creates jobs". apparently, the chinese are a whole nation of redditor dads, which is now a socialist virtue. because there's nothing more socialist than creating work by wasting people's time, especially in a country that could maybe hire people to reforest the desert or work in a solar cell factory.

personally, I don't eat at mcdangols, whether in china or elsewhere, but I use their toilets frequently so i've been inside their corporate-imperialist embassies many times. chinese maccy-eaters are in no way more messy than westerners.

 

where can I find the sequels "Bad Gateway" and "Gateway Time-Out"?

are they considered bad canon like the Brian Herbert Dunes?

 

pretty cool that an asian newspaper is casually orientalist. qing dynasty dude, creepy dragon, indian people barefoot and wrapped in saris

garrisonesque, but not enough labels, what's the flute supposed to represent
