    I make the same joke every time I see this posted, because every part of the question is that stupid.

    Why do they call Xi his first name? It’s like saying “Joe, America’s leader”

    Somehow, exposing that you live in Carrollton, Texas and the exact school you go to on the internet just doesn’t really seem like a good idea

    And Xi was democratically elected, I don’t know where they get their shit from

    I also remember learning about evil China in sixth grade in Canada. We learned a very one sided version of the one child policy and the western version of Tiananmen Square. As a ten or eleven year old it was of course very shocking and emotional. Somehow I remember a story of a man being run over by a tank - this could be my own conflation of memories or a work of fiction we were read.

      Western schools literally cut the video so you don’t see the part where the bicycle dude literally just rides up to the tank and has a minute long conversation with Tank Man and then they literally just walk off together. I showed that to a student and they said that all those guys literally just standing by the road at that point were “undercover policemen” who shot him and dumped him in a sewer. I ask him to prove it, and he’s just like “well I saw a NAFO tweet” 💀 💀 💀

        Gonna come out in ten years that Tank Man was the tank driver’s father, and he was mad that his son hadn’t picked up something from the grocery store which he said he was going to pick up. (Hence the grocery bags and climbing up on the tank).
