Wtf is Sidney Sweeny?

If the Chinese have nothing, why is the US afraid?

[–] racoon@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 hours ago

When have Americans not been afraid?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Come to USA! We have:

  • $1500 phone
  • Rigged sportsball
  • Anti-woke celebrities

High consumer Technology; soft power through mass media spectacles (author didn’t mention Hollywood; celebrities.

It’s probably truth. It is very disappointing how little we know about other countries, because we are being constantly fed like gooses with junk culture from our beloved omnimodous power, so much so that our own culture gets slowly neglected

Does this guy think they don't have hot women in China?

[–] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

That definitely seems to be what the headline is implying.

The US used to have Scarletts Johansons, now they can afford is Sydneys Sweeneys

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 20 points 18 hours ago

What do they have?
No, I’m really asking, because I was busy smelling our own farts for the last forty years and have no idea.

Sydney Sweeney feels particularly weird to include in this. Like Apple as a tech corpo... I guess?? Sports... okay... but then a fucking actress as a point in being better than China???

And even then it's all commodity and entertainment. China's future is poverty alleviation, education and innovation. So if you care only for circus and bread then I guess China is not the future for you?

I'll be honest, I had no idea who Sydney Sweeney was until today.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Even if he wanted to die on this hill, he could have easily chosen 3 much better options lmao.

Staring with any of these 3 in a measuring contest means America is already cooked.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao who cares about sidney Sweeny? She's hot sure but what else? Like who fucking cares about some random hot b grade actor?

Bro needs to get his top 3 straight.

For some reason (actually two large, perky reasons), the right holds Sydney Sweeney up as a sort of mascot, a shining example of what "the right kind of woman" looks like

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

She's one of them, that's also why

[–] soyaboya@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

This is what I thought first. It might be reading into it too much to call it a "dogwhistle"... But sounds like they're saying "China doesn't have beautiful blonde Aryan actors like America does." Or maybe it's just lazy and horny.

Sorry if you meant one of them as in racist on the inside. That's true too.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, tbh anytime someone brings up Sydney Sweeney, fucking dogwhistle to me

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 6 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

We have shitty unrepairable phones and computers with patronising interfaces, sports most people can't afford to attend because the tickets get scalped, and someone who openly brags about having blue eyes (she promises it's not in that way though). China is quaking I'm sure.
