There’s an online obsession with musk on parts of China? Damm that’s sad
Elon won't be dictating policy, he'll be dictating who in government gets purged. The job he's angling for is to be the one to determine who goes and who stays.
He'll determine who survives to dictate policy.
You know how when a company wants to save money and it sacks 60% of the workforce? That's what Musk wants to be in charge of doing to the US government and all of its agencies.
I was unaware, thanks for the insight! I thought domestic EVs were already bigger in China.
Comrade? No. Take down the US empire? Maybe lmao
Not Chinese (nationality) but there are gay, trans, internationalist people who love geopolitics, maps, etc!!! Dozens of us!!! (Actually far more than dozens, it's more common than you'd think)
shit I'd better make new plans for my next visit to China
From my understanding, most Chinese people, like most people elsewhere, aren't really political, and don't really want to get involved in long discussions about politics. The "I just want to grill" mentality is universal.
I'm totally kidding I'd much rather learn about the person I'm talking to and their life. I'm not going to bring up politics (other than wearing a sweatshirt with a huge CPC emblem on it)
I'd be the same. I'd totally go up to the old grannies playing mahjong in the park and try to chat with them in broken mandarin.
I know exactly what you're talking about lmao
So, like, nazbol except they're most of the Chinese left? Is that what you're saying?
The anti-imperialist left in the Global south being historically anti-LGBT because they see it as an arm of western oppression is a wild statement
Explain skin equality then
I don't think it's proper to dilute the usage of nazbol in the same manner that fascist has been as a label for everything that has reactionary and/or chauvinistic characteristics.
If anything I’m strengthening the term because these people have an actual presence (?) and potentially have influence over a state, unlike Nazbols.
I'll agree to disagree then
They're only nazbol, in so far as that "nationalistic" part refers to national chauvinism... it could mean something more defensive
As someone who lost family to that cracker's crime bill, I absolutely would agree with that take tbh. I hope I live to see the entirety of the Biden lineage die out uncontinued.
They would like him more if they knew about his crime bill
