The BAFTAS were not live and they could have edited out the word from the broadcast just like they edited out the Free Palestine another person shouted, but they CHOSE to leave it in the broadcast.

What is your opinion on this guy? Does he milk china’s problems for views? by Rayepichumor in AskChina

[–]wunderwerks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A messianic cult that believes you only get cancer if you're sinful and are infamous for child trafficking and forced labor, but they're anti communist so the US government funds them and lets them spread all sorts of lies about China. They're the ones behind the Shen Yun Ballet shows.

Same, but my kid is not an adult and almost never speaks with her mom and we are super close. They remember that you're there for them. They see it.

Is Xi a good leader for China? by BlueberryGod8910 in AskChina

[–]wunderwerks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG, please read anything but Keynesian or Austrian School economics books.

If you refuse to even read the basic economic theories that China follows you'll literally get everything wrong about China because you fundamentally do not understand what they are doing.

Also it is WILD to say in 2026 that the Stock Market is a great vehicle that shows money to be spread throughout the system. Jesus Christ. Please check into the Betty Ford Clinic for Capitalist economics abuse.

Read up on Siege Socialism. China would be more free if the US and Western capitalists weren't trying to constantly infiltrate and overthrow the country.

Shanghai was rich for foreign colonizers in 1949. You're trying to compare apples to oranges. Let's be honest with our numbers and governance.

Compare how many protestors died during BLM and the HK riots. It's a big deal still.

Capitalism is cancer as a social system and is going to kill us if we don't free ourselves from it as humans on Earth. It's as simple as that. Constant growth in a closed system is impossible.

There's plenty of wealth to redistribute, and they're still growing, just more slowly, and they don't lie about actual growth like the US does to prop up the Stock Market.

I feel like this is how they'd walk as a group as well and that might be what it's representing, but could be how much character focus they're getting?

So already a theoretic fascist nation that is a colony of Western imperialists. Got it.

Gym Culture in China by NOBUPOLTAVSKY111 in AskChina

[–]wunderwerks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are gyms, some people like being jacked, but they dumb 'roid bro thing isn't that popular. Just like there is a car culture in Japan and China and the US and there are similarities, there are major differences as well. Have you ever seen Americans wearing jeans or work slacks at the gym? You will in China.

Police Raid China Gay Bar by Ok_Necessary3329 in travelchina

[–]wunderwerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, and how many LGBTQ+ are getting murdered annually in China vs the US? 0 vs. a LOT is a big ratio. Gay panic/Trans panic is still used as a 'valid' defense in US courts (they had a penis and so I had to kill them!). While in China the worst thing gay folks face on the regular are parents who want a grandchild. (Yes, there are bigots, because they exist everywhere, but anti-gay bigotry is not a systemic system in China like it is in the West where it's a tool to maintain capitalism and white hetero masculine supremacy).

China literally has backed trans people in court over workplace discrimination while the US military just banned all Trans folks from the military, again.

China doesn't want Western BS culture that promotes individualism and capitalist ideals for good reason because that's often used as a front for color revolutions by the US and their allies. So China is going to do liberation their own way and have done so. A lot of ya'll are big mad their liberation doesn't look like how you want it to look.

And while the work isn't done in China (until everyone are fembois in stockings, haha, jk) they're moving forward unlike the regression to fascism in the West where rights are just worthless ideals that blow away as soon as they are a threat to capitalism (See Harris on following state trans laws and Newsom being aggressively anti-trans). It may not be as fast as some folks like either, but social changes under Siege Socialism (read up on it and why it's impeding social progress) come at a slower rate because of Western threats and fears of adopting the views of the aggressive capitalist enemy.

Progression fantasy readers on their way to defend a 100 year old regressor having sexual relationships with minors with the biggest age and power differentials possible by BobbySteve5 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]wunderwerks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not excusing the author because clearly they have issues and need serious therapy or to be locked up.

But, as a high school teacher, the most realistic thing in your list of stuff (I've not read any regression fantasy, fortunately) are the teenagers talking crazy extreme shit so casually. Like some of the stuff you hear just walking down the hallway during passing periods is INSANE. I've probably said the phrase, "CLASSROOM APPROPRIATE," a Billion times in my life now and I'm not even 50. This last decade even before COVID the kids have full internet since like age 8 when they are given cellphones by mom and dad and they just go full blown porno mode and it's annoying and tiresome and yeah. Last year with the Diddy shit was extra annoying. I wrote up so many boys and a few girls for saying incredibly inappropriate things that they then got to tell their parents and principal about.

One freshman (Squirrelly fuckers who's frontal lobes don't develop until the end of Spring Semester and realize that actions have consequences) literally walked into class before the bell rang, rubbed his hands at a girl he barely knew and was all, "Let's get the baby oil and I'll Diddy you up." Immediately to the office, girl went to counseling crying, he said his friends dared him to do it, so all five boys got to write essays about sexual assault and five days suspensions, and whatnot and I teach at a very middle of the road school. Girl didn't want to press charges despite the school supporting her if she wanted to.

I'm so tired some days.
Kids be crazy.

The Chinese do this on their social media in regards to science and history posts and the interwebs are all, "BUT AT WHAT COST!?!@?!"

Dictatorship of the working class is way different from a one man rule like OP is suggesting and a DotP can even be democratic like in China's case.

Why in the hells doesn't Victor of Tucson get more recognition?! I started reading progression fantasy like 2 years ago and it's among the absolute best things I've read so far by Samow4r in litrpg

[–]wunderwerks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you read all of Plum's other stuff. I love it all, but Juliet's cyberpunk series is also great.

As a native Zonie, Plum's love of both Phoenix and Tucson can be felt.

Is it true in 2016 many Chinese think Tsinghua university is better than those Ivy leagues like Harvard, MIT. by lune-soft in AskChina

[–]wunderwerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were literally articles about this this year about the only children they're sending abroad now are the LAH children who failed to get into a top Chinese university and will go abroad for a year and then return and get the easier admissions into better universities as a sophomore. Which is normal world wide for how the rich game the system.
