people these days can't handle a twunkish otter covered in layers of grime and wearing digusting rags, eating a plate of beans like it's a plate of ass. now everything needs to be smooth and spotless and prepped and washed and fragrant and algorithm enhanced and you can only eat psyllium husks and rice cakes?

Daoism is wacky and I like it.

I also like the western "Daoism" which is only about "going with the flow" "be like water" "wu wei" and all that. I say "western" because while these things are some of the foundations of actual daoism, the western version just stops there and imagines that it's just a "whoah, brah, it's all chill, and , like the universe"

actual daoism, as it's practiced in east asia, is intense. it's weird. it's about hell and the underworld. it's about death. it's about heaven or multiple heavens. it's about one or more earths. it's about thousands of gods and spirits. there are intense rituals. there is prayer. there is possession. there is exorcism. there are alchemical potions. there are martial arts that are not about martial arts. it's weird and awesome and I like it.

the future is already chinese, but that doesn't mean other countries can have cute little things that make them feel special. australia has butter (abolish dairy tho) and they also have the working holiday program, europe has a lot of nice vacation spots and nice walkable city centers and they also have good olive oil.

all chinese 15-year-olds (at least the boys) love NBA, so the US can keep it, it's a nice brand. same with apple, huawei can make better phones but some people like slightly different phones from a company headquartered in the US (but still made in shenzhen). who is sydney sweeney? no one really knows, and that's fine.

is this sarcastic? the best place to start "getting into" china is getting into china. talk to one chinese person.

it's only a meme if it comes from Meme, Ohio and is captioned in the American language. Everything else is weird foreign shit that no one cares about

rightists are mad because non-white people and trans people are playing greek heroes

more normal people are laughing because all the promo footage looks pretty shitty, with space marines and stuff, and the flat bland "current day" netflix lighting

nolanites are defending any and all choices made because "it's a fantasy movie with monsters but you have problems with ____?"

what the fuck, people are lying on the ground and not moving or resisting at all, and the stormtroopers are just rushing in to club them. also animal abuse, that poor dog didn't deserve to be there.

peaceful protests don't work since cops don't have a conscience. blockade the entrance with something other than your bodies. and if the stormtroopers come at you with a club, don't peacefully resist but behave as if a person is coming at you with a club. do-not-do-this luau illegal-to-say

yeah he's definitely "thinking" about sudan and/or darfur (and/or possibly niger?) and maybe heard someone in the news saying "what about sudan" when iran was mentioned. so he's thinking sudan is doing an imperialism against itself i guess.

rightists think they are the small resistance being beset on all sides by the evil system that tries to brainwash them. they think mainstream media is communist. they think the educational system is woke and leftist. they think big corporations are socialist. they think bill gates wants to make you a communist slave with his woke vaccine and lab grown meat.

they're not doing so well after much of their userbase migrated to either leftanarchy.nato or enlightenedlogic.de

 
 

Lots of bullshit details here.

China expert was in China for a whole 18 months as an anglo expat english teacher. expat english teachers are famously known to learn much about the cultures in which they live. in no way do most of them make mostly expat friends, go to expat bars and eat at western slop restaurants

First thing they noticed about China: the macdongles is different! Surely this offers some insight into the asian mind.

The difference: I'm sure we've all seen the old redditesque urban legend where someone's dad prides himself of not cleaning up after eating, because being a messy dickhead "creates jobs". apparently, the chinese are a whole nation of redditor dads, which is now a socialist virtue. because there's nothing more socialist than creating work by wasting people's time, especially in a country that could maybe hire people to reforest the desert or work in a solar cell factory.

personally, I don't eat at mcdangols, whether in china or elsewhere, but I use their toilets frequently so i've been inside their corporate-imperialist embassies many times. chinese maccy-eaters are in no way more messy than westerners.

 

where can I find the sequels "Bad Gateway" and "Gateway Time-Out"?

are they considered bad canon like the Brian Herbert Dunes?

 

pretty cool that an asian newspaper is casually orientalist. qing dynasty dude, creepy dragon, indian people barefoot and wrapped in saris

garrisonesque, but not enough labels, what's the flute supposed to represent
