Mum is Irish, Dad is Chinese. I grew up mostly in Ireland. Now in Beijing for work and hoping to grow and develop a deeper understanding with my other home country.

I’m watching the USian show Handmaidens Tale right now, and the Christo fascists continually brag about their reduction in fossil fuels and carbon emissions. Made me realize how much of a fucking nightmare it’s going to be when the fascists start engaging climate change as a fact. Genuinely scared for that day.

Will USians do anything? Will they finally fight this shit? My hopes are very low. All I can say is much love to my USian Comrades.

It’s similar to Trump, DeSantis is like Trump politically, but he is politically savvy and I think much more dangerous. I’m worried they are going to get competent borris Johnson in the UK

Xinjiang is incredible to visit, the Uyghur language is beautiful and the culture is robust and everywhere, I loved my trip there. My uncle who went there in the 90s went with me this time and said it felt like Uyghur culture was much more realized, much less ultra conservative fundamentalists everywhere, safer in general. People forget that Islamist (referring to Salafist/Wahhabi and other ultra-conservative Islamic political fundamentalist groups) groups destroy culture and tradition as an aspect of their ideology.

As I understand it, capitalism is used a tool by the Chinese planned economy to increase the power and well-being of the socialist state. It is kept locked in a cage and beaten down when it steps out of line. Deng realized the inherent growth and power of that growth that capitalism inherently espouses, and manipulated it. Truly bringing about a successful (ongoing) transitional phase from one to the other.

Well you see, if China doesn’t follow exactly what Hoxha said, it can’t be Marxist. Hoxha was the only true Marxist and Albania was the only true socialist state. Marxism is unchanging and rigid and no one can ever do anything different based on their country’s material conditions and circumstances. If a country ever makes mistakes, does anything I personal disagree with, it is an evil revisionist capitalist hellscape.

The US and the west are evil, but I utilize their information channels for all of my opinions of other countries, or I base all my opinions on purist infighting from the 1970s and won’t ever accept that there may be alternate paths to the same goal. You are stupid and wrong for having a different opinion than me, revisionist pig.

But in all seriousness, I appreciated your updated response, saved me from having to write a book at work.

这一切都错了。

Sex work only exists because of China, before tiktok, no sex work.

Global shit is happening constantly right now, it’s exhausting as fuck.
