Why? To keep foreign resource markets open to our profiteer’s exploitation.

Social tolerance of Greed\avarice is a blight that is ending the world by several vectors.

Same page club, except the vague hope.

Honestly the vague hope was keeping me at my lowest until I learned to understand and completely accept that our world is ending by our own hands, detach from being on the human team, and just gawk at the freak show of the exploitative macro-cancer monkeys that we are with gallows fascination.

This is the same thing comedian George Carlin bragged about doing to find peace in his later years, BTW.

When you remove trying to root for us to be not horrible, we are a spectacular and peculiar thing to behold, a remarkable evolutionary oddity, like Pandas. Like how are we the apex predator?! It’s nuts and hilarious.

Chinese people seem pretty happy on Rednote.

They mostly empathize with us Americans for our life of economic struggle for our wealth class in exchange for nothing but Subsistence.

They’re confused as to how it’s allowed to happen. They thought a lot of true horror stories about our health insurance murder industry and living paycheck go paycheck statistically unlikely to be able to cover a 400 expense was their government’s propaganda, and are horrified it’s not.

It’s amazing how many protections non-wealthy people have there.

I now completely understand why our government doesn’t want us having casual conversations with actual societies of people, as opposed to capitalist slaughterhouses like we are here in the US. Mooooo…

Also their cars are so high tech ours are in the stone age by comparison. No wonder they can’t sell them here, they’d eat our lunch. App controlled call the car to pull up to you, captains chairs that power rotate into new configurations, on and on.

I’ll call it the Gulf of Carl’s Jr

Because that’s where we’re at.

Reminder: Ayn Rand died on public assistance.

They’re only for freedom to gouge for water at the only source for a hundred miles when they believe they’ll be the ones holding the ladle.

I’m on there, and one IMHO objectively good thing is the direct and hyper friendly interaction between regular Chinese peasants and regular American peasants. We’re supposed to be “adversaries” according to both governments. Bridging solidarity and developing empathy between the laborers of both nations undermines both corrupt empires.

When the Nordic countries launch good social media platforms, I’ll defect to them. In the meantime, if you’re on social media that isn’t instanced like this, you’re on social media spawned under the umbrella of a corrupt empire with blood on its hands.

No reason not to play one off the other. No reason to have any allegiance to any of them. If anything, I think the peasants of two countries that are supposed to be “adversaries” talking to each other and realizing we’re fundamentally more the same than different as is happening on Rednote can only be a positive thing.

Truly Up vs. Down. Laborers vs elite. That transcends borders.

A literal popular Chinese social media app similar to TikTok that has become the top App store app that TikTok users are defecting to because of the ban, bragging about handing their data to China because they no longer respect the US government, and also bragging they’d literally trust the CCP before they’d trust Zuck, Musk, or Trump.

Reveling in pettiness, yes. But reveling nonetheless. It’s actually a lot of fun and refreshing to see Americans and Chinese intermingling and sharing culture, so I’m sure it’ll be banned too. But it’s going to be fun watching our captured government play whackamole to do what they really banned TikTok for: to control the narrative and domestic spying through Meta and X.

Hey want to throw up? Here’s a Koch heir using daddy’s blood money to be a pretend “creative.”

You should see the names of asian big and tall clothing shops.

Asia doesn’t fuck around when it comes to conformity.

As if Hollywood hasn’t been completely monopolized and enshittified to the point that they no longer seem capable of making anything worth watching.

Fuck David Zaslav for leading the enshittification charge in this particular economic sector, by the way. Plastic faced, greedy ass, anti-union, anti-creative fancy lad ghoul.

Not very American.

Shouldnt only the kids with “winner” parents who can afford bulletproof backpack plates get one, so the kids of “loser” poor parents have a reduced chance of surviving?

How will these kids learn it’s wrong to be and their life means less if they’re poor if literally everyone in their grade has a roughly equal chance of survival in the event of our national pastime that makes us who we are happening at their school? How will the less poor kids know their life means more than their poorie classmates?

And really, shouldn’t it only be legal for private academy kids to get these kinds of protective measures? Why expend resources protecting future capital livestock to this degree? Seems like a very inefficient investment.

This feels like a slippery slope to Marxist Leninist commie socialism.

Good job then, no profits, well done!

Well said, the capitalists are unrepentant bad faith actors.

Return the favor, just be clever and discreet about it so you can keep doing it.

The owner class: No one wants to roll up their sleeves to do a hard days work anymore! Shameful!

Also the owner class:

I had a work ethic, got a masters in a helping profession, just to find out it was my job as a psychologist for poor populations to prioritize getting suffering poor people back into the jobs ASAP, after providing some coping exercises and pills to dull the pain, that drove them to a breaking point or desperate crime to begin with, in the 3-6 whole sessions they were allotted, while ratting them out for confiding in me that they smoked a joint to their parole officer.

Eventually I couldn’t take part in it anymore, and certainly couldn’t pursue providing therapy to the willfully ignorant with infinite budgets that don’t even care what their gluttinous lifestyle demands inflict below them.

Again, capitalism amplifies these divisions with the bully pulpits ONLY THE CAPITALISTS CONTROL through government and profit media.

You can’t have any movement they don’t inform and can’t kill entirely if they wish, because they own the signal, and a few techies on distributed social media doesn’t change that.

But nothing will change, because there are too many people that refuse to acknowledge that, that think their cause is more important and must take priority when the class war either created or exacerbates their oppression, effects more people, almost everyone, and while identify affirmation is a nice and in a decent society important thing, material needs, food, water, shelter for ALL are objectively a higher priority than telling 10% of the population for any subgroup “I see you, your identity is valid.” I’m all for that. But this is a literal war where people are being murdered, and a cause parade for any cause other than stop murdering/exploiting our very lives for profit us has no place in a war for the vast majority of the population’s survival.

And it’s ridiculous when people say “we can do both” no we can’t. We can’t do anything. We’ve been in a steady downward spiral for 60 years as income inequity has grown. We can’t do anything under this economy. Not one god damned lasting thing. That is by oligarch design.

But we won’t as a society unite and forcefully remove that common enemy because someone else has to have their symptom addressed before. Climate change will do what we should have in a few decades, force the permanent collapse of this inhuman economy, but it’ll hardly matter then, and nothing equitable will take it’s place.

At least the descendants of the owners won’t have a long lasting empire. They only know how to manipulate the poors into keeping the world and their quality of life going, not how to keep the world and their quality of life going.

If all you have left a inbred hicks, and you turn public education into nothing more than laborer babysitting, good luck designing your new mansion or engineering a new mega yacht.
