The amount of cope and denial in the comments is hilarious

I was pretty deep in the liberal propaganda and was even a redditor at one point. It was the racism from liberals that first threw me off. Then when they started this xinjiang genocide narrative, that's when the illusion finally broke. I speak Chinese, I saw a clip from the bbc and from John Oliver deliberately mistranslating people. The whole charade fell apart the second I did even the smallest bit of research. I started looking into the stuff they convinced me was bad. That's when I found Marxist leninist thought. Suddenly everything made sense. The rest is probably the same as everybody else.

Ironic thank you to England for absorbing 144,500 empire worshippers.

So I saw a totally different manifesto that talked about his mom in pain due to neuropathy ever since she was 31. Was that one a fake?

The cops planted money on him, couldn't they have also planted a manifesto?

Edit: https://archive.is/7jUsF here is a link to the one I saw.

Does the garlic bread all appear at once? Like my living space is just filled with garlic bread? Or does every piece eaten spawn another piece? Is there a limit to how much garlic bread I can spawn? What if I give the garlic bread to others? Inquiring minds must know.

Either way, garlic bread.

I gotta recommend One Piece, my all time favorite. It's about goofy 'pirates' who sail from island to island liberating them from fascists or stopping attempted coups, or fighting the CIA. The biggest problem in the one piece world is that everything was built to support a ruling class of disgusting inbred billionaires who do things like take slaves. There is a literal revolutionary army named "the revolutionaries" lead by a guy based on Che (he looks like che, his boat was named after che's boat) who's main goal is to destroy that billionaire ruling class.

The beginning of the show (like first 4 arcs) are more about introducing characters, but every arc after is about the above. The tone is like if Tom & Jerry had a plot. Despite how it might appear it's not like a typical power scaling battle shonen, the fights are not the main point, though later on they do end up emphasizing fights a lot (in the anime, the manga is better at keeping fights secondary).

The show isn't without issue though. It portrays trans, gender fluid, and queer people in a very mean way. They're all still part of the 'good guys' but a lot will be drawn as like hairy men wearing dresses. There are better portrayals like one inspired by tim curry or one inspired by Jim carry (with the best voice actor ever if you watch it subbed). This issue gets a lot better later on though. This story has been going for 25 years, in the last 5 years or so it's gotten much much better.

Another issue is it's portrayal of women. Almost every prominent woman looks the same. They have the same-ish face and exact same body. They're frequently scantily clad. No matter how important they are to the story, no matter how well fleshed out their characters are or how heartbreaking their story is, the author will still find a way to make them dress in underwear or something. I realize a lot of this was because of his editors. It doesn't become a problem till later on when he gets editor after editor pushing him to draw them as scantily clad as possible. The author has warned other authors that the publisher is full of perverts. The anime makes things more gratuitous than the manga.

I do recommend reading it over watching it due to pacing and artwork though. They are remaking the anime right now even though the anime is still ongoing. The remake is supposed to address the pacing and art.

I got recommended that "comedian destroys woke hecklers" video yesterday. I've never watched anything even similar to that. It must be a paid promotion targeting a wide demographic or something.

I work around teenagers. I once listened to a highschool redditor coaching his league of legends team and tell them that if they are losing to a Chinese team then to start yelling "tianammen square!" over the chat because the ceeceepee will disconnect the Chinese team. He claimed he did this all the time and it worked each time. The amount of confidence he said this with was unnerving.

These reddit libs really believe this is some sort of incantation that banishes reality and Chinese people.

 

I saw an ad for the RCA (revolutionary communists of America) on TikTok. What are they? From what I can gather on the mobile site, they do recommend readings from Marx and Lenin, but also from Trotsky, so what are they exactly?

As a Chinese-American, sadly I can confirm that in my experience, most Chinese-Americans are pretty brainwashed by Western propaganda and hate/are ashamed of China or being Chinese at some level. Personally, I love and support China and the government but I'm afraid to openly admit that. Once I just simply said "I got friends in China" and a (History) teacher whipped his head around and screamed "WHAT!?!" And gave me the most evil glare. I've had a college professor literally tell the class that Chinese people have no concept of love.

I don't know how internalized the propaganda actually is for Chinese Americans, or if they're just simply afraid of vocalizing support of an "enemy" country while knowing that every person surrounding you has an insane irrational hatred of China and all chinese people and literally want blood.
