Appreciate it! I was asking because I also wanted to laugh at the burger brain. The comment about surveillance is hilarious as London is the most CCTV’d city in the world lmao.

When I lived in the UK a posh white guy told me he went travelling in China because, verbatim, “no one had ever really been there before”…

It looks so cozy in that tent. I want to visit soooo bad

Do you have any examples you can share?

It’s good to question and critically think about both what you’ve been taught and new things you come across. If you grew up in the West though, everything you’ve been taught about China is likely false or highly biased, yes

Wait no scratch that, I didn’t realise noscript was blocking it haha

The embedded video doesn’t load for me at all (Firefox, Mac OS)

All jokes are real, and reality is a joke

Critical support for comrade wildfire…?

Maybe everyone could just use one big google drive spreadsheet or something

European head of state dies in a mysterious plane crash and it’s obviously CIA/Mossad but no one in Europe dares to say it

Allegedly he also sent some kind of letter / manifesto claiming China was sending secret anti-gravity drones from ships off the coast lol

Yesss they are so awful. I really hope they ban them

Transit is good in large cities, I was mostly travelling by car because of being with relatives. When travelling on my own or with my partner we will get transit unless it’s a complicated journey

Changsha is all about two things: food and foot spas. Try to have some proper stinky tofu, crayfish (they call them “little lobsters”), fried glutinous rice cakes from the side of the road. We really love going to the foot spa places, the big local chains like yi er kang are best.

Please could we not perpetuate the stereotype of the Chinese state being cartoonishly villainous?

In a real country like China, the police do their fucking jobs even when arresting the rich and powerful.

I agree. I’m still in the baby steps of reading theory but Lenin’s Imperialism rewired my entire brain. Suddenly everything became so clear.

First??
