"Cuties" was in the network, its of Western media properties, it paid the consultants salaries, organizations like "Collective Shout" just want access to sinecures and funding, what they want is STEAM ect to hire them, pay salaries for activists. "Securing the bag".
Gamers are dredging up our support of Netflix film 'Cuties' in an attempt to paint us as “pro-exploitation”. As usual, they’ve missed the point - or ignored it on purpose. For those who didn't get past the headline, here's what we actually said 🧵/
But also the Chinese government is run by Chinese people and the Chinese people work through and with its government so the argument itself is basically incoherent tap dancing.
When people like Stephen Kotkin and Sarah Paine give 100% of the credit of the prosperity of China to the Chinese people and 0% to the Chinese government, they are implicitly saying the secret to a prosperous nation is to be of the right race. There are very far sweeping…
Because China isn't a country built on mass immigration. Fuck off.
What's with the low amount of immigrants then?
Capitalists selling iPhones built with components and labor sourced from a communist-led socialist country
People tweet anti-capitalist nonsense from a $1,200 iPhone using apps built by free-market companies. Thanks for proving capitalism works.
Sebenarnya paling tolol adl ekonom liberal jelek2in performa ekonomi di bawah Mao; dikiranya nation building abis perang imperialis+perang saudara+kena sanksi, itu bisa langsung keliatan hasilnya? Mao memang ada kekurangan, tapi ya kritik tuh harusnya berbobot juga.
I was fine with Zelensky targeting political rivals and outlawing the church but when you go after western NGOs you go too far
The deepest irony of Trump’s trade deals is that the more he “wins” the more America actually loses. US friendly countries that tried negotiating in earnest did so assuming this would yield less harsh terms that’d let them preserve their relations with the US. As they’re forced…
Western "media literacy education" has done the most terrible things to their literacy.
Demons in Demon slayer and demons in frieren are two fundamentally different entities. Both Tanjiro and Frieren are right in their own story setting
The fact that this is the most famous silhouette in the world

This is when the political economy of cultural industry crosspath with US hegemoni cimperialism 👇 It is always weird to me seeing Japan and SK competing on cultural ground and relatively being let go by the US. Turned out the battleground is out of sight.
One could see a common thread in who orgs like Collective Shout go after, and what they deem threatening versus not threatening. The common thread since the 00s has been that non-Western animation/games/ect are a threat or need to be restricted and controlled. But why is that?🧵
But Mao replied, "But why do you think Italians (artists) are so important to humanity?"
I’ve asked a few artists on Xiaohongshu and they said that in China there’s this general sense that “anything that makes it faster and more convenient = better” and art is no exception, and that like in the West, artists are heavily devalued. Something something horseshoe theory.
What the fuck is a "Nguyuit Republic?" All these dumb balkanization maps are getting lower and lower effort with less and less discernible effort these days.
Fixed the map.
Is America alright?
People on Twitter have been talking about premature organ harvesting for years. I’ll be honest, I thought it was a conspiracy theory. I was wrong. It’s real, and it’s horrific.
Just in case anyone hasn't noticed yet, china is making what was once considered luxury, extremely affordable all over the world. Caviar, diamonds, consumer electronics (look at price deflation of TVs), solar panels, robots, drones... the list goes on. This is obviously GOOD.
Zhengzhou makes your iPhone. Now the central Chinese city is churning out cheap lab-grown diamonds for your engagement ring. The prices for synthetic diamonds have plummeted, falling by nearly 90% over the past five years. It is cheaper than ever to buy sparkling stones that…
Lu kate Jepang yg "katanya" lurus politiknya ndak ngelakuin ini? Byk kok yg mengundurkn diri atw bunuh diri sbg bemper Dg mrk bunuh diri atw mundur, penyelidikan akhirnya akhirnya berhenti di mereka Ini praktek biasa kok #eh
They think they got “sold out” but this was literally the only logical end point to capitalism. The conclusion of a system whose only goal is the accumulation of capital and short term profits that they sold the means of production to a rival power whose very ideology is to…
There’s no “one” answer for China’s policy successes, but all of China’s successes share a primary perspective for how to understand what an economy is, how it works, who it’s for, and how to develop it. All the minutiae stem from problem solving through a set of core principles.
Engels predicted and history shows us, without a national project the bourgeoisie ultimately turn on themselves. Even bringing back monarchy in the most severe reactions.
In one sense neoliberalism turned out to be the capitalist innovation of “what if instead of exploiting the spatially adjacent lower class I exploit the temporally adjacent younger generation”. (And that right there is your fertility problem).
I love how muricans are saying ”I hate having freedom to choose” whenever China did something new and cool.
I love people pretending like Chinese cars are vastly superior to those we can buy in America by showing off 5 “will-definitely-break” features that nobody has ever wanted. (Except the screens. Nothing wrong with more screens.)
