As a civ player, I know a cultural victory when I see one.

Remember that "Grapes of Wrath" completely backfired as a propaganda piece because Russians were amazed that poor Americans could still afford cars

Wait, China's not a dystopian nightmare?

If you're not against the powers that be, it's great. Like, for instance, I don't know, Nazi Germany was.

I imagine it could be if you were a minority or a political dissident.

The fact that so many people went through sexual and gender self discovery on Tiktock, but such things are discouraged by the government in China says a lot that makes me uncomfortable.

Not being able to openly criticise the government and its policies also doesn't sit well with me.

It's not my government though, so that's where my criticism ends. If that's what the majority of people want, that's just democracy by another avenue. So long as people are allowed to leave if they choose, then that's fine.

I guess it makes sense not to use one's psyops arsenal at one's own people.

or the Uyghur genocide that’s ongoing….

Well tbf, even though it's strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.

But in the US it's legal. In a bunch of states all you need is parental consent for a teen barely out of puberty to marry an adult, and some will lower the age if the child is already pregnant.

picture 2: not real and technically imposible to do that cause we have 1.4 billion people

This makes me imagine how social credit department people hands look like if it is real

Don't they have computers and mass surveillance?

Trying to talk about the conversations on Rednote while on .ml is kind of hilarious.

Quick! Somebody link to one thing the US government has said about China.

You lose points by googling, because everyone upvoting surely has seen the US government say something about China and knows where to find that document.

The fuck are you even on about? Please broadcast your mental inferiority somewhere else.
