it’s not a Socialism thing

Yeah it’s more of a strong governance model thing where strong communication and cooperation is maintained between workers. A socialist society or the company being nationalized isn’t required but essentially upholds the business model that doesn’t strive for short-term profits but instead orients toward sustainable and realistic growth and resists against the enshittification of the organization.

Skill issue. 🤭

Amerikkka does suck at building an educated population with a high standard of living that produces motivated and competent people able to create non-mediocre tech. We’ve been a decaying society undergoing third/fourth worldization via deindustrialization, privatization, deregulation, and rollback of workers’ rights for decades now. No wonder companies are ran by executives that don’t have the discipline to work towards anything beyond short-term profits, and instead we have companies like Google that buy companies and then kill their products on a quarterly basis, while developing and rushing deployment of tools like Gemini AI for the purpose of chasing the next tech bubble and turn the company into a laughing stock, and then they layoff thousands of their workers because of the executives’ nearsightedness, incompetence, greed, and ignorance that setup the workers to fail from the start, which is done to make up for the losses and meet their quarterly quotas artificially. It’s as if late stage capitalism/imperialism is facing crises that it doesn’t have an answer to solve besides pillaging other countries and stopping socialist nations from competing with it (this isn’t meant to be demeaning towards you).

Anytime I post a Xiaohongshu video, I make sure to transform the url to this format so people can easily copy and download it with yt-dlp.

yt-dlp comes with various parameters that you can use to your needs, and it works with various websites with video/audio content.

I still need to read the book, but if I understand you correctly, I believe Debt by David Graeber would help answer your question. This hour 17 minute long university speech from David Graeber regarding his book provides some context, too. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=K0t50D4lQrs

Debt has origins dating back to the bronze age in relation to sexist power structures and slavery. David Graeber argues at one point in the video that capitalism is a transformation of slavery.

This article gives me hope. Great read!

Sort of, I was referring to conservative proletariats more broadly, including others that don’t fit that description. I know rural and suburban white working class Americans tend to have other racist beliefs, often coming from fear, and benefit from racial discrimination/hyper-exploitation, though there tend to be some that are more open-minded and “esoteric” (not sure what word I am looking for) in which they have more potential to be slightly more easily re-educated and willing to work in solidarity of all peoples instead of just their own white neighbors. I tend to hear from leftists from older generations that there was a time they tried to unionize and would have succeeded if the ruling elite didn’t divide the masses by blaming immigrants as the problem. I’m curious what it would take to push such people away from white supremacy, patriarchy, imperialism, and nationalism, and how many have the historic material condition where they have benefited from hyper-exploitation of various minorities and natives as you said. I never had luck pushing any of them to the left, though, but seeing some of these people have an epiphany on Xiaohongshu gives me hope.

You may need Google Play Services. On LineageOS, you need to install the MindTheGapps package after installing the OS and before you boot into the phone for the first time: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/

If you are waiting on the SMS but can launch XHS, I suspected my custom ROM and rooted phone were causing issues with XHS (and you will get banned if you try making a WeChat account on such a device), too, but I managed to get an SMS the next day but still had to wait for the SMS limit to pass (and it was of course expired by then). That evening, I entered my phone number again, immediately got an SMS, entered the code, and it worked. I do have the Shamiko module installed with Magisk, so maybe that made a difference.

Obviously China is not an emerging economy. /s

I love your work. Your writing is very engaging. <3

This is so ludicrously pathetic, I literally started having a laughing fit.

Zelensky doing the Undertale genocide route on his own citizens.

[!]

But nobody came.

Tried making a WeChat account, but my account was immediately temporarily banned likely because my phone is rooted and I downloaded the app from the Aurora Store. Oops. I guess if I want to use WeChat at some point, I will need to get a separate phone.

The US is the one sanctioning China and hurting its own economy. China is responding to those sanctions, but they would rather work peacefully and encourage mutual trade with us. But the US doesn’t want its own citizens to benefit from China’s affordable electric vehicles because US’s own car manufacturers would have to lower their overinflated prices.

China can’t control the US setting up military infrastructure in its own province which threatens its own existence and national security. What if China started developing military opposition in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, or California? Wouldn’t the US lose their shit and see it as a threat to its own existence? Then why is it fair that we are doing the same in Taiwan?

China doesn’t want to attack Taiwan. The US is provoking them and trying to turn Taiwan into its own vassal and stop China from completing its Belt and Road Initiative which would develop the Global South’s economies and make them independent and protected from Western colonialism/neocolonialism/imperialism and IMF debt loans. As countries are moving away from the US dollar, our own economy is suffering because our government refuses to stop being a demonic imperialist entity that wants to rule over the world and not allow a multipolar world where different countries can work and trade together mutually and peacefully, which would lead to workers running the government and building an economy that benefits humanity’s well being.

The US officially recognizes the One China Rule, that Taiwan is a province in China, the PRC is the legitimate government of China, and that China and Taiwan should resolve their differences peacefully, which is the point of the One China Rule. Despite this, the US has funded $44 billion and created various military exchange programs for “Taiwan’s defense”, and China opposes this as obviously we don’t have a good track record with not funding and attacking foreign countries for our own gain. US wants to start a war with China because its hegemony is crumbling, and they want to keep the rich in power and not work toward a system where the workers benefit from universal healthcare, affordable housing, etc.

Explain to me what TikTok did that was harmful. Explain to me how they used the data for malicious purposes. Also explain to me how US based companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. aren’t doing the same thing and actually provide that information to the police to develop the surveillance and police state here. What’s China going to do with our data, sell it to AliExpress to make us treats?

I’m not acting like anything, the government is. Some of the reasons to your question include: the law is slow, TikTok is among the most popular, banning more apps would further kill the illusion that it is for OuR pRoTeCtIoN, and the US is trying to manufacture consent with a war with China by spreading anti-China propaganda and is failing to do so. The US wants to use its own tech and internet companies as a way to protect US hegemony and to not let other nations develop their own tech sovereignty. China’s Great Firewall is a protectionist policy that encourages their citizens to use and develop their own tech sovereignty, and now as they are starting to surpass the US internet companies, they are opening the doors to their platforms and giving people across the world a chance to connect on a truly global platform. Chinese citizens do not go to prison for using a VPN to access content in other countries. Europe is now considering their own Great Firewall as they realized that they are very dependent on US infrastructure, and such a firewall would help encourage their own internet industries to develop and improve their own sovereignty. US servers are also proving to be not safe for other countries to host websites given this aggressive ban and hostile behavior against foreign content which harms their hegemony.

I’m probably going to use this platform to help me learn Mandarin. There’s plenty of cool content on there, though. Interesting tech, awesome music and agitprop, etc.
