Xiang Jingyu, born on this day in 1895, was one of the earliest female members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and a pioneer of the women's movement of China. She was executed by Guomindang police on May 1st, 1928.

Xiang Jingyu was politically radicalized when she attended the Montargis Women's University in France. While studying there, Jingyu read many of Marx's works and became a communist.

In 1923, Xiang became editor of a weekly supplement to The Republican Daily, a Guomindang newspaper. The same year Xiang Jingyu was also elected as a Central Committee member and became the first secretary of the "Women's Movement Committee".

In 1924, Xiang led a strike involving about ten thousand female workers from silk factories. Then, she founded the "Committee of Women's Liberation" and trained many female cadres, who then became a force against feudalism and imperialism.

Xiang Jingyu was arrested in the French Concession Sandeli in Wuhan on March 20th, 1928. French officials turned her over to the Guomindang in April. On May 1st, 1928 she was executed.

My lib dad and me bond over the "I did everything right and they indicted me" sound clip and making fun of it

We have pretty different politics obviously, my dad has the most mainstream CNN lib takes imaginable, I never outright said that I'm a communist but he knows that I'm at the very least far left, not a big fan of capitalism and not totally opposed to China. We have a pretty good relationship but we've kinda always found it hard to have, idk, casual father/son banter, we're just both not really wired for smalltalk, he's always fully invested in his work and I'm always fully invested in my own stuff. We don't have a ball game to go to or talk about, we don't share any interests, idk.

But thanks to trump-anguish we finally have something we both follow and both agree on.

I kinda play up my Trump Derangement Syndrome for him, he'll go on about "Can you believe Trump violated the constitution like that? How insane is that?" and instead of going on a jokerfied rant about how the democrats are just as bad and ruling class solidarity yadda yadda I'll just go "I know, right? Incredible that he got away with so much and they're still voting for him!"

And recently we've had a bit of an in-joke for the first time ever, really, which is making exaggerated impressions of "I did everything right and they indicted me" whenever it kinda fits the situation.

thank you, mr president, for restoring family values og-hex-bear

Lib on twitter telling me that China's economic rise is "100% because of trade with wealthier nations and 0% because of Xi Jinping"

So nice of this totalitarian dictator to completely stay out of trade policies and leave that up to everyone else I guess

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Incredible how long this Xi guy has been able to coast off of his predecessors' good decisions, I'm sure his own awful policies are gonna have China crash any day now.

Aaaaany day now.

Damn it, i checked out of the hospital earlier today. Spent nearly a week in a coma and another in some terrible feverish nightmare state. Why? "Acute food poisoning", believe it or not. I never knew it can get this bad. At least now, i can walk and do basic stuff, but i still feel like shit. Thankfully it's nothing some ibuprofen won't fix and i'm glad to be back.

i love how starfield tricks you into thinking you can be space kenshiro with the boxing and martial arts and neurostrike perks but then it turns out just like all other bethesda games unarmed combat is entirely unviable compared to even the most worthless gun build because THERE ARE NO UNARMED WEAPONS

no brass knuckles, nothing

you can't even switch from a weapon to your fists without going into your actual inventory to unequip it!

Got a job at a local domestic violence shelter and just did my onboarding, just some entry level work, only to find out that I have much more shelter experience than just about anyone there. So I came home and applied to manage the whole shelter. Feels a little awkward being like "hey it's my first day of the other job you just hired me for, but you really actually want me in leadership."

I want to have health insurance again.

Every morning I wake up at 1:30pm and stumble hungover to my desk (a hunk of plywood supported by milk crates). I open our three laptops, each provisioned by the Soros, Putin, and Xi Posting Employment Agencies, respectively. I genuflect before a framed photo of Fidel Castro and begin hunt-and-peck typing the best takes you've ever read into various Western social media platforms

One of my more curmudgeonly traits is I hate "who would win in a fight" discussions about fictional people. So I like fantasy books and I've found if you spend pretty much any time in any fantasy-devoted subreddit or forum people will eventually ask the who would win question. And it makes sense, since the plots of so many traditional heroic fantasy books are ultimately about fighting some bad buy. But I still hate the discussion because it really just comes down to who the author wants to win, what point the author is trying to make.

These aren't real people engaged in real combat (and even that is a fraught discussion). Like, if you want to argue about who would win, Muhammad Ali or Jean II Le Maingre, that's a discussion that can be had. They were both real people, real fighters, and in a hypothetical match between them there is no author to intervene. I still think that's a borderline pointless discussion because there's so much that goes into it, but there is at least something to talk about.

But "who would win in a fight? Melkor, he who is Master of the Fates of Arda, King of the World, and God of Darkness or Petunia Dursley from Harry Potter?" Pointless question. It could go either way, depending on the author. George RR Martin, of Game of Thrones fame, wrote this whole blog post fanfiction where his character Jaime Lannister, who is a normal man with a sword, defeats Rand al'Thor, a magical demigod from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time.

Also, I'm willing to bet most Fantasy authors don't have any martial arts or combat training at all, let alone knowledge of actual pre-modern fighting techniques. If Drizzt Do'Urden and Geralt of Rivia fought each other they'd just pirouette like ballerinas and flourish their blades at each other until eventually some contrived plot event caused them to separate at a draw.

Call me a curmudgeon, but you are 100% correct. It's a fun thing to do when you're a kid reading comic books with your friends, but if you're an adult, please get a fucking grip

You should be arguing about which obscure leftist movement from the 1800's that was instantly crushed by the state had the most correct ideology
