As a communist in the USA, it’s weirdly affirming how both USSR citizens and now red book users both experience a shock in learning the reality of living in the west. The former tragic because it was caused by transitioning to it, but this time it’s vaguely warm. There is no threat, just exposure.

I saw a post where people were shocked to learn that ambulance costs weren’t government propaganda. I know the app trends bougie and liberal in the mainland, but maybe that’s good given the current context? They are being exposed to the reality of America rather than the RFA version.

Oh they have no fucking idea

Can we get Trueanon translated into Mandarin? They need to learn the sick truth about this vile country

I don't know how long this Xiaohongshu in the West thing will last, but at the very least it has been really interesting.

We used to have that too in Denmark until summer time in the 2010's I think. Authorities could grant a so-called king's letter to minors aged 15-17, allowing them to get married. I think it was mostly used in the case of teen pregnancies. I don't think it was done very often towards the end though.

It was eventually abolished for racist reasons. A Liberal Party minister of integration decided to forcibly separate all refugee families where one of the spouses was ages 15-17, hinting at the Muslim brainpan predisposing Muslim men for being nonces. However, the decision was illegal, not for being racist and causing harm to people but for violating principles of administrative law.

In the ensuing scandal the chuds claimed that the minister shouldn't get in trouble because she had saved little girls from being victimised by 50 year old dark-skinned men with huge scary beards. This led people to point out that the feigned concerns were bullshit since minors could still legally get married in Denmark. The institution of the king's letters, mostly forgotten by most people at the time, became an embarrassment and was quietly abolished.

If you want social progress to happen in this country, your best shot is to make a racist argument for it.

Allah will awaken the Chinese people to the malefactions of the American state

Wait what? I'm Canadian, I didn't know this.

If this leads to Chinese protests and pressure for Xi to liberate the US, this will be the funniest result of TikTok's ban.

Bit idea: chinese incels moving to Utah because of this

We need to list out the shocking facts as a center piece for our own posts. Someone wanna drop some literacy rates on them? Or how about legal segregation for private schools!

Most famously in the CIA larvae nest

They also limit screen/game time, which I support as a parent to avoid creating a tablet kid. And they also don't allow certain political topics, that I think some non far left would support. It's interesting, there seems to be something for everyone to like about it.
