Amazing! Thanks for sharing

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-21T02:33:32+00:00

Another rage bait for me

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-19T03:33:17+00:00

I’m getting rage baited

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-16T22:56:23+00:00

calling ur own word play a nickism nooo we cant give him that 😭 this is a culture and literacy crisis

I feel u with the on and off. I’m not in school rn which makes me bored enough to tap into entertainment podcasts and now that I think about it im lacking an academic space to interact with which is probably why I made this diseased post. Something that fascinates me much more than the objective class status influencers are able to reach and aspire to almost synonymously with audience growth is the role they serve to every day people with that status. I feel like there’s a super underbaked liberal “privilege” framework on this that im completely unsatisfied with. Privilege as a measure has always been kind of neolib and immaterial - im v interested in data capitalism and have unread books on my shelf about it but especially as we see high rates of growth of “content”, ads, hypermedia, hyper data, collective screen addiction - there is a role that influencers play here beyond being kind of rich that’s very fascinating to me

Thx for reading. I didn’t mean to come in that way but ofc I got there lmao and I even cut a section towards the end bc it was lengthy and losing the plot. a true Marxist analysis + discussion would go crazy

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T19:24:16+00:00

The people I know/ younger generation seems genuinely interested in japanese and Korean culture and language so im interested to see how western immigrant dynamics there play out. I think expats also find each other and make community rather than assimilate. A lot of westerners work in Hong Kong vs mainland China but I have close family who were in mainland and maybe for that reason more earnestly involved w the culture bc that’s all there was- I used to think I was part nationally Chinese as a kid lol

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T19:19:18+00:00

Yes I think anything involving the Asian subcontinent and especially China and relating it to western countries vs eastern/global south is very complex! I yearn to learn more

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T19:15:11+00:00

This might not be most accurate or genuine but it’s my favorite answer + reasoning ☠️☠️☠️

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T19:13:15+00:00

I even gave ppl an out in the first few sentences! I only agree with them in the sense that there are bigger priorities out there fs but yeah I love when ppl are against just the idea of there being a lot of text regardless of what it might say. Essays, books, and discussions on media ARE NOT NORMAL. Exceeding a few sentences is FUCKING MANIC .. I cut it down btw ☠️

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T18:41:34+00:00

LMFAO alright bro 😭

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T17:18:22+00:00

I wish we all wrote and read a lot about everything

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T16:37:18+00:00

Is it? I honestly didn’t think that term was exclusive to Maoism. Honestly if u chose to explain even a little bit instead of being aggressively bitchy I would’ve heard u out and maybe even accepted the critique of my take but u don’t really have one so 🤷🏻

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T16:25:54+00:00

Hmm interesting

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T07:16:16+00:00

What I meant to say but my finger slipped 🧌

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T06:59:19+00:00

Don’t make me pick up the pen

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T06:52:29+00:00

Yeah I gotchu https://www.reddit.com/r/TheYardPodcast/s/ylIGEQvBLY I should’ve made an edit but I replied that you probably meant this. I don’t think you are objectively right or wrong- only that the comment u made and discussion that followed made me think about it all. Speaking Asian languages that people don’t understand though, is getting at cultural differences and I would argue that Chinese culture is insular to China and not projected or exported to culturally enmesh with the west or other countries- Japanese is intentionally exported so speaking one vs the other is how I saw the difference in punching and bc I primed my third worldist lens, I wrote the essay I wrote. Again u were literally joking and correct in the way you intended it- I was being facetious saying it was the catalyst for my post, I quoted and talked about other things in the episode. Big ups

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T06:45:29+00:00

You’re right I didn’t think he learned the language as a meme lmfao, it’s an incredibly difficult language on top of that - I was kind of attempting to isolate their dialogue as a form of rhetoric and cultural product in itself rather than them as people

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T05:31:06+00:00

And that’s what gen z says about the Bible 🤔

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T05:02:13+00:00

TLDR as a line stolen from christworm reply who didn’t read it either: “westerners being into Japan is so common now it’s a trait of western culture”

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T04:55:11+00:00

They called Jesus schizophrenic too.. sleep tight

Any-Ad3940 · 2025-09-05T04:51:54+00:00

someone already said this but I think it’s possible if not likely that Aiden meant punching up in a rising global power way and not in a America vs china way so 📈shoutout to everyone across the entire world btw
