I would push back a little to say that Speed isn’t just some guy with no agenda. He has media training and at least a million dollars going into creating the persona as we know it. He has a vested interest in appealing to a Chinese market. His streams are clearly more produced than someone like Mizkif who, while his genius is in networking, I can believe is doing it off the cuff as he’ll get sad, mad, and do stupid+disrespectful shit.
Is Ishowspeed counter to the billion dollars spent saying “at what cost???” Sure. Is his broadcast nothing more than meets the eye? Not exactly.
I often wish I could move to China and live there, even if for a few years, but I don’t think they’d want someone like me. In a Capitalist system, I’m considered worthless as I can’t work a traditional job, and most days I barely have energy to make myself food, let alone go out and do some grocery shopping.
I don’t really know much about China other than they have some socialist policies, but even then I don’t think they’d want disabled people to immigrate. It would be amazing if they had government workers who’s job is to take care of people that can’t take care of themselves. And of course social housing that’s actually well-built and livable. Not like in NA where social housing is often dilapidated, moldy, and lacks basic necessities like laundry.
Even then there’s a language barrier to consider, and I heard it’s difficult to learn them, Mandarin, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, etc.
Plus, loneliness. I don’t have any friends that live in China. Though, it seems a lot of Chinese people are really friendly to foreigners so it might not be very difficult to make new friends. At the same time, I don’t know what the general stance on interracial marriage is in China. How difficult would it be for a foreigner to date and marry someone there?
It’s nice to dream

I wish China would make a little English enclave and somehow the US government wouldn’t try to fuck it up. They could put a couple government does stuff factories, a housing block, and communal farmland and we’d be straight chilling. There’d need to be a reeducation camp we go to on the weekends where we learn our hanzi, what’s cool about China+communism, how to be a citizen, and what’s neat & where in China. But also camping activities where we meet new people, elect managers, and practice being a union. They’d just have to interview you and look over your hexbear chat logs to see whether you’re chill like that.
That people bought into the ridiculous propaganda to such a degree is unfortunately an indictment of humanity. It really is that easy to manufacture consent
More than an indictment of humanity, to me it’s evidence of the power of 5000 years of refinement of state apparatus.
Damn, that was really cool. Nice summary of Speed’s visit and impact.
I saw some headlines here and there but didn’t really know much.
I’m planning a trip to China for this summer and I’m soooooooooo excited to go! I’ve always wanted to go!
I’m hoping to go next year, really excited about it as well.
hell yeah! nice!
All it takes to be anti China is learning about their work ethic, social credit system, the triads, organ trade, the kinds of meats you can buy there, and what they do to their people who complain about it.

China lies as much, sometimes more, than the west thanks. Question everyone, even China, not just the west.
What you said would have sounded smart if you didn’t just vomit The CIA approved list of already debunked lies™ that every single liberals always vomit whenever they come here just 2 replies earlier. But since you did, you just sound like a hypocrite instead.
There’s an approved list of CIA lies and these lies have been debunked? Whoa that’s totally news to me. It’s almost like I’m not a cynical asshole who questions everyone to the point I piss off everyone who cares about pushing a narrative over finding truth.
I wasn’t talking about a literal CIA list in case you couldn’t tell by my sarcastic use of ™ there. But regardless my point still stand. You spew a bunch of beaten to death lies about China in one sentence, not bothering to give context to any of your accusations -as if they should be obvious to everyone- let alone give links or sources, lies that have been invented and/or propagated by outlets who were (until Trump shut down USAID not long ago) literally funded by the CIA, and which have been debunked to hell and back at this point. And then, just 2 replies later, as if delivering the punchline to a joke, you unironically say “Question everyone” 🤡 .
I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
“All it takes to be anti China is learning about their work ethic, social credit system, the triads, organ trade, the kinds of meats you can buy there, and what they do to their people who complain about it.”
The 9 9 6 is well known, as is the existence of their social credit system and the triads. The organ trade isn’t very well known and China actively hunts down the people who seriously cover it because they know how bad it looks, but it’s still there and there’s a lot of stories about it. As for meats, I saw YouTubers covering that a lot before Covid and during Covid all that info fucking vanished but basically a lot of native Chinese people believe if you eat a thing you gain its power and had big problem with meat markets selling meats like shark fins, dog meat, and road kill. During covid they cracked down on it so credit to them. Also worth mentioning to whole sewer oil business but I have to give China credit for arresting those guys too.
As for what happens when you speak against the state? Tiananmen Square 1989 and their treatment of the Uyghurs speaks for itself.
Also will say, I’m not anti China so much as anti bullshit. A lot of good has come from China but they deserve criticism.

Quick question, have you considered shutting the fuck up?
All it takes to make a lemm.ee account is a lobotomy.
I wouldn’t know, unlike you it seems.
I know precisely from interactions with imbeciles such as yourself.
oh wow, china encourages its citizens to work hard and they have credit scores like every developed nation on earth, super spooky
Not credit scores, social credit. They’re the ones spreading it everywhere too.
