Chinese Rednote users actually seem to have a relatively utopian view of the US. I'm seeing alot of posts asking if it's true that most Americans can afford to own a house and being corrected by americans in the comments; stuff like that.
Also they really like Luigi Mangione lol, even before americans came into the app.
This is the first time americans are talking directly to chinese people en masse like this, no? The state department must be scrambling to get things in order. I don't think they expected the ban to backfire this bad lol
Wonder how long it'll last before it's closed off.
Just move to a better instance lol, wasn't that the entire point of coming here? Lemmy.zip and Lemm.ee have been great.
I'd say having a senile old man as the head of a country is much more 'outrageous'
Spoken like a true shitlib
Lemm.ee: Where you can be a fascist but still complain about other instances
Those editors should probably check their phones for signs of tampering...
I say that only half-jokingly
People on twitter are saying he's actually a far-right nationalist hypocrite who owns properties in the US. Makes sense to ban him then ig; just one of those fake internet celebrities that they occasionally ban probably.
Fear for his life, probably. He seems to be popular enough to give those parties a momentum that would make him a target of both the capitalist parties.
Black Panther party members — including its leader — were killed by the FBI. A genuine threat to capitalist rule will naturally have to face these threats.
it's funny that you can get that when you run a campaing that focuses on material issues for the most part and don't try to court a non existent center/center right voting bloc that doesn't exist
In general the right left binary is not very accurate for capturing how most average people think of politics. People may be socially conservative on one issue and progressive on another. They might favor left wing economic policies but may not conceptualize it as left wing.
Mexico i would say has a more culturally conservative tradition than the USA does, yet Morena was able to successfully pass all sorts of socially progressive legislation, because they were lowkey about it while rhetorically emphasizing the bread and butter economic issues most
Well tbf, even though it's strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.
