    Did a fourteen-year-old upset about having to take pre-algebra write this?

      I suppose the author had to take statistics and found it to be average, monotonous, mean, and non-degenerate

      Punctuation is also Chinese propaganda the only way to resist is to speak and type in neverending runon sentences containing heavy amounts of hyphenated compounds and conjunctions to further degrade the integrity of the thought were trying to relay this is the only way God I hate China those literate motherfuckers A real westerner even combines two different conversations into the same massive paragraph Hey john can you take the dog out Im too lazy Sentences willed with chaos and no idea whats going on just like in America

    As a person who enjoys mathematics, I can definitely say it’s 1984, you literally have to believe 1 + 1 = 2 otherwise you would be executed

    I hope I’m not overstepping, but the title low-key feels racist considering the stereotype. Anyway, aren’t we all kinda forced to learn math?

      China is best country in math, therefore to show sufficient liberal ideological purity of thought and methods, western libs will now become antimath. Good riddance i would say.

      Of course it’s racist. Don’t you remember the Winnie the Pooh thing? Where “haha yellow character chinese hahaha”?

        The Winnie the Pooh thing was so confusing to me as I didn’t get the connection. I love Winnie and it blows he was used to be racist.

        Didn’t the whole “Xi looks like Pooh” thing start out as a harmless meme from Chinese citizens though? Wasn’t it Western social media that co-opted it and turned it into a racist caricature?

          Maybe, but I’m taking about after this. And it’s sad, because Pooh is actually a very sweet and caring character, to be converted into that…

          At first it was used comparing Obama and Xi with a picture of Winnie and the tiger walking.

    • I would imagine that almost every anti-China liberal, including the author, is almost certainly racist against Chinese people aside from the “good ones” who oppose the evil CCP. Same applies for the DPRK

      Dumb kids grow up to be dumb adults and dump people are easily controllable to fool and influence away from their interests and towards that of the bourgeoisie. America is a great example of this nazistic concept deployed.

          Thankfully these nazi regimes keep degrading in terms of quality over time. Similar to the thesis of cloning in the Rick and Morty series; Eventually you get a Ukraine out of it 😂

        I kinda hate maths because of basically teachers abused me when I was really little for not being catholic, being autist, and some other fucked up shit happening in my home village, being extremely hard for me… BUT STILL I WOULDN’T EVEN DREAM OF THINKING THAT? How in the world can someone to this and think “huh, huh, this is a good on, huh, huh, huh” without being basically Beavis or Butthead? How!?

          lol I hate maths too, because when I was younger it was so fucking hard for me to understand for some reason. Shit was more difficult to understand than kingdom hearts lore. It also didn’t help that I lived in Singapore at the time, that country is WAY reliant on maths. I’m starting to think that Lee Kuan Yew liked maths a little TOO much.

    Someone posted the article in a post a few days ago. My favorite part is that the only relevance the picture of Xi has with the article is the China is mentioned once in an offhanded comment at the end of the article, but otherwise is irrelevant to the content of the article.

    Yeah meaningful development is humiliating! Better to become a brain-dead self obsessed narcissist on instagram competing for public approval based in vanity. Much better for the character development of a human! Who needs to grow up to be scientist, astronaut, architect, or engineer when you can be a supermodel, celebrity, influencer, or prostitute? 🤮🤮🤮🤮
