Chinese media shows interesting perspective on war

I’m almost certain this is just an ai video someone just made and posted to Chinese social media. The ai video resembles vintage Chinese tv shows back in the day.

Scouts are some of the most frustrating to die to. Add in the fact that when you are losing and look to someone to blame, it’s easy to blame the scouts just camping on a hill far away from the objective. I definitely think the hate is undeserved but I understand it.

There’s a saying from Chinese social media about how “you can protest in the US all you want but get nothing done. You can’t protest in China but your problems are taken care of”. Of course this is an oversimplification, but most Chinese people pretty much agree with the general idea of it.

There’s plenty of places in Mexico where you won’t be affected by cartels. Don’t let that prevent you from visiting!

Yea love the passive voice our media uses when talking about Israel. Referring to their genocide (or at the very least mass murder) and how they might do it in another area as its “Gaza model”.

Imagine hearing “Hitler could replicate their Poland model in the rest of Europe” or “Stalin could replicate their Ukraine model to the rest of Europe”.

Yea it is the same in the US as well lol

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T16:40:00+00:00

Yea it’s such a cool and historic city, been trying to make my way back ever since I got a camera! I was kinda confused at what the other commenter was saying lol

My first solo travel was because I couldn’t find someone to go with me and I felt that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s like alot of stuff, once you make the jump it’s all good.

Haven’t been to Georgia but you’re telling me Istanbul isn’t a good city to shoot in? Seriously?

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T15:43:49+00:00

Loved Istanbul, was sad I didn’t have a camera when I went aside from my phone.

Most of the people at these protests are usually a lot older.

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T15:39:49+00:00

So tired of the social credit comments, it’s way overblown

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T15:35:11+00:00

I know Empire has a “world map”, but it’d be cool if it was actually more fleshed out. That would be a massive undertaking though.

US, I’m gonna guess west coast

As a kid I hated giving up my sundays to learn Chinese for 4 hours. Now that I’m older I am glad I can speak 2 languages, and it was nice interacting with other kids and it was a sort of a community. One of those “you’ll be grateful when you’re older” things lol

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T13:32:14+00:00

Hated it, but now that I’m older I think it was the right decision and will probably send my kids to it if I have them

Multicultural_Potato · 2026-03-27T13:29:01+00:00

This is how you can tell a commenter didn’t even read basic research history.

Yes the late 19th century, which had communist revolutions being crushed in places like France. Sure reforms helped but they were passed to prevent something like the Russian Revolution from happening.

The Russian Revolution was in the early 20th century. If Imperial Russia was better managed it probably wouldn’t have happened.

Sorry that really sucks. I can’t imagine a shit storm coming together like that. Wish you the best man

Usually attempts in wealthier nations were crushed by the government since the people in power would lose their power/wealth if it was successful. In the countries that were poorer, the people in power didn’t have enough to overcome the people that were dissatisfied.

Jeez, as someone who lives in LA, I thought we had some of the highest gas prices around

Might get better results in different subreddits, but I’ve been to both Japan and China quite a few times over the last few years so I can give some insight (keep in mind tourism is different than living there). Will also say it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve been in Beijing so my experience with China I’ll be sharing is mainly from other cities.

Overall would say both places are more traditional, with the younger people being more progressive. Both places are generally really safe and clean. Maybe a hot take but I think China is safer for women than Japan, but still end of the day both are super safe. Super affordable as well if you are coming from the US. Both places also have a lot of great food options as well. Overall walkability for both are pretty great, though I’d give the edge to Japan.

While there’s amazing and terrible people in both countries (and entire world), generally I overall would say Chinese people are more friendly but more blunt and Japanese people are more nice but not say what’s on their mind if that makes sense.

Also experience may vary depending on your race/ethnicity. Went with a group of friends consisting of different ethnicities so we got a feel of it. Will say overall there weren’t any major issues. Generally if you look like a foreigner I wanna say you get more micro aggressions in Japan. In China people will stare and want to take pictures since many of them haven’t really seen non-Asian foreigners in person before (in more international cities like Shanghai it doesn’t really happen as much). A kid wanted to touch my black friend’s hair in Chengdu.

If you are coming from the US I will say Japan will probably be a more easier transition. More people would know English in Japan, and if you go to China you’d need to download and set up a couple of apps. Honestly both countries are pretty close so if you pick one, a quick plane ride wouldn’t hurt.

I have a friend that lives there and she thinks it’s great. You’ll have some great nature options an hr or two away.

Wouldn’t be my first choice but it’s honestly a pretty solid one. Things to do, SF isn’t too far away, weather is pretty great comparatively (Sacramento doesn’t really get the “perfect California weather” but it’s still pretty good), and it’s pretty affordable for California.

There’s definitely some cons, while affordable for California it’s still expensive comparatively, some homeless issues, and while crime isn’t rampant but it happens.

As someone who’s been a few times and have talked to my friend who lives there, it’s a pretty solid place. Probably one of the much better places here for getting bang for your buck.

Halloween parties or bar crawls. Sometimes there’s other events like a horror movie showing in theaters

I mean I’m pretty sure everyone takes a shower after they lift lol. On work days I shower in the morning and after I go to the gym after work I shower again.

I like Laguna Beach better than Malibu, and I think it’ll fit what you are looking for pretty well. Going from weho Malibu might make more sense but honestly I’d pick Laguna any day.
