In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

I think it's more rational self interest, which he always shows. His rationality is completely centered around greed and egoism from what I have seen, so I would assume he does that because it would not be profitable for him if he did that

I haven't heard of them until like 2-3 years ago and I see them posted in World News quite often. What kind of a news source is this? Are they biased in some way? Where are they based? Is there anything notable to know about them?

G20 meeting, Modi wrote President of Bharat on the invitation instead of President of India

In its first article, the constitution of India declares “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.”

Explain to him what critical support means

Take aside from what the original commenter said, I will not comment on that. But this "they are bad, so it's okay that we are bad too" defense is complete bullshit

Bananas in the GDR were from Cuba lol

No it was not. A Lada was basically unaffordable, most people owned Trabants and Skodas, Wartburg etc. You had to wait at least 3-4 years (in the early days of the GDR), and some colors were sparce, so it could be that a random car would be assigned to you, regardless of what you filled in on the formular. You also still had to wait for other cars from the socialist foreign countries. A used car market did not exist, but if you had good connections you could transfer the waiting list from another person to you, if they wanted. (sry for bad english)

Then just make a new symbol, the sickle is not as representative today as it used to be when it was invented anyways, since agriculture is more industrialised now, at least in Finland.

Nikolai Lenine hahahahahh bruh wtf is that newspaper

[-] betterredthandead@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

I sometimes wonder how some people are so stupid or naïve they fall for this blatant propaganda. It just doesn't get into my head.

I have some questions about the "funny memes" about President Xi as Winnie the Pooh or Chairman Mao as a cat (I'm sure there are many more, for example I heard some people call President Xi an "accelerator in chief", a very narrow minded and rude term in my opinion).

I basically only know the western narrative about those memes, I want to learn about how they are regarded in China, if they are actually illegal and/or "censored" and why, what their origins are, what they mean (I know from my scarce knowledge of Hanyu that Mao also means cat for example), and who made them.

I am trying to "de-propagandize" my mind, since I grew up only being taught the opposing side's narrative. I don't want to be disrespectful, and if I am please tell me, it is not my goal to be rude.
