Text for readability:

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

Lmmfao, who do you think runs the Chinese government, the workers?

Anyway, thanks for providing an example of exactly the kind of bullshit and excuses I was referring to.

[–] gubblebumbum@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

most western countries are civilised enough to not allow capital punishment.

Yes unlike the barbaric yellow hordes, their western betters have the civility to only perform executions in the streets, prior to arrest.

Extrajudicial street executions happens in Baghdad and Boston, both are done by white supremacist thumbs exported from the USA

i-cant Oh yes, it's because we who are carrying out a genocide are so much more civilized than them, I see. China just isn't civilized enough, you say? And what skull measurement would you posit is responsible for that, Professor?

I love how modern liberals sound exactly like they did 140 years ago when discussing foreign people

Yes, the workers indeed run the country, with over 99 million people in the party

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

With a Vanguard party made up of nearly 10% of the population... uh yeah, kinda. Not in a fully idealised sense, but certainly in enough of one that billionaires actually get prosecuted for their crimes.
