The conversations are amazing
If banning tik tok ends up galvanizing demand for healthcare reform I’m going to laugh my ass off
Good comrades like Lady Izdihar are taking off in a big way, might help radicalize a lot of people towards Marxism even.
Rednote’s algorithm seems very receptive to communist content, at least compared to what I’m used to. Hope it stays that way.

This is breaking my brain… world news told me it was bad and told me what “experts” say about privacy.
OPSEC-wise you should avoid most mainstream social media anyway unless you’re using Tor or a VPN, whether it’s Xitter, Insta, or Rednote
Said social media blocks you from using tor. Reddit back in the day freaked out when the apparent ip keeps switching and forces you to login again and again.
Which world news? Makes a big difference.
Earth world duh
Quick! Somebody link to one thing the US government has said about China.
You lose points by googling, because everyone upvoting surely has seen the US government say something about China and knows where to find that document.
Daamn, it’s so nice that nobody invented lying on Chinese internet yet, otherwise shit would be so embarrassing
Damn, it’s so nice that nobody invented sarcastic vagueposting yet.
Absolutely nothing vague about what I said. Authoritarian regimes are very careful about their external image and employ a lot of propaganda to maintain it. The closer a piece of mefia to the authoritarian regime the more lies there will be.
To address inevitable whataboitism, it’s not their exclusive deal, oligarchs and wannabe oligarchs also lie on the internet, but it’s not the point
I always thought social credit thing is just in memes
Cringe
Few things blew my mind even though I’ve been a big fan of Chinese economic and political policy for a while
They actually really like Soviet Culture, the marching soldiers and flags etc. Soviet rock like Kino and the like is very popular!
They’re casually Marxist, its not something they have to fight to learn about so socialism is a casual existence for them. I figured the youth would be “too cool or hip” but doesn’t seem to be the case
They’re very similar as gamers, they really like shooters like battlefield and cs go. I assume their MMOs are different but I’m asking about that
It truly is a massive cultural exchange the likes of which have never been seen before. I’m trying to find out if they grew up on the same games, Morrowind Deus Ex Thief Ultima Online D&D etc
Oh yeah they really like Soviet culture. My first post on there is of some Soviet artwork and it got 1.3k likes, on a brand new account. Wouldn’t see that happening on Insta or Xitter.
I just want to point out that the attempt to compare medical costs in a direct comparison in US dollars isn’t exactly easy as it does ignore purchasing power and base wages.
The point would probably be better made with hours of labor at a base pay to pay off treatment which I do think American healthcare would probably still lose quite handedly.
Not everything! For instance, we don’t wear shoes to bed.
American propaganda in tatters ban it quick!!!
imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival’s networks.
Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival’s social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.
It’s never too late to discard your patriotism to a state that doesn’t give a fuck about you. You don’t owe it your allegiance, be it Burgerland or India or whichever shitty capitalist state.
Patritoism?
I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I’ll wait.
Lol, that’s the worst attempts at spelling Tienanmen Square and Uyghurs I’ve seen yet, and I’ve seen a lot.
How does the US ban on TikTok thatbmakes people switch to rednote now fit this description?
As a civ player, I know a cultural victory when I see one.
They’re obviously saying all of this to up their social credit!
I’m also learning it’s not real dude we’ve been duped
Remember that “Grapes of Wrath” completely backfired as a propaganda piece because Russians were amazed that poor Americans could still afford cars
