The Hong Kong protests happening around the same time as the BLM protests should have opened the eyes of the average lib but did not. These people would gladly denounce China because they grabbed a protestor off the streets who was firebombing things but when protestors were being grabbed off the streets and thrown into unmarked vans in Seattle and Portland they openly cheered for it. When Hong Kong protestors burned people alive they clutched pearls but stood with them because the victim was a China supporter (or just a passer-by). When a murder happened in Seattle they bayed for blood of the entire encampment. Any attempt to point out these similarities and the disparity between their response to them was met with a simple hand-wave, "it's different."

Fuck democrat liberals. I hate them as much as I hate republican liberals.

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.

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5aee8dcee8ac2b49367e893c Sister is doing same as the brother above.

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/64f71bca00000000040271a6 Daur minority promotion

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5c2ed2c30000000007003f5d Yi people. The women's outfits and hats look like they could be out of haute couture. Like it's modern except its not. 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.

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
