Found this while searching for the name of the guy who drew the “ public schools are Marxist” cartoon.
Dude just can’t help but make Xi look cool Emoji material?
People who draw motorcycles never seem to get the tires right. They’re not flat like car tires, they’re rounded because you have to lean over to turn.
They’re all just Darksiding.
You vs the guy the polycule tells you not to worry about
: “China good, America bad.”
Me: “Ah, it’s great to meet a fellow lefty!”
: “Lefty? Well this is awkward…to tell the truth I’m a neo-nazi.”
How does this keep happening? There have been multiple pro-US propaganda pieces that have been dunking on America and praising China, despite claiming to despise communism.
It’s the difference between liking China because you don’t believe all the propaganda about them, and liking China because you do.
It’s so hilarious that we’re literal socialists and we probably stand more for individualism and Ayn Rand’s ideals than most CHUDs.
Sorry you had to read that, I think I’m going to be sick for even typing this even as a joke.
it’s always projection and every accusation is a confession
the same goes for fake white shit like “collectivism” and “individualism”.
China is more individualistic than any anglo state because the Chinese communist revolution was fought for individual rights. Anglo states, especially the US, give proles as their reward the right to feel superior to other races and to live vicariously through white elites–this is the real definition of being a collectivist–to gain your satisfaction from vicarious identification with other groups
it’s all fake white shit all the way down
to tell the truth I’m a neo-nazi
One of the funnier accounts I used to follow on /r/Libertarian was a guy who insisted he was a Han Supremacist, he agreed with everything the white nationalists said about Americans, and he just thought Han Chinese were better so it double-plus applied to them.
Wait, he thinks the Han Chinese are superior to white people? That’s reverse-racism, it sounds pretty woke to me.
HARD /S
That was the bit, yes. Someone would post something very obviously racist (FBI crime stats dog whistles / GPA jerk off / whatever). He’d hop in, agree, and follow up with “And Han Chinese are better on that stat than white people so…” and then end with a reason to exclude all white people from Ivy League Universities or exclusively hiring CEOs from China or whatever.
They think America is weak now because of wokeness, they read the propaganda about China being anti-LGBT, and think that’s why China is stronk now.
Liberals think the PRC is an ethnostate (i think there was this ridiculous Tucker Carlson interview where he said it’s an ethnostate because there’s 90% han or some nonsense like that).
Xi riding hog is the no one asked for but everyone needed
Imma be a buzzkill and gently rain on this parade by issuing my objections over people using incontinence to ridicule Biden.
[CW: SA, CSE & FGM ahead!]
Not that Biden doesn’t deserve ridicule but incontinence cuts across some intersectional axes of sex, age (obviously), disability, and (perhaps surprisingly) survivors of female genital mutilation (particularly the more extensive forms of it) and of sexual assault and in particular childhood sexual exploitation.
I don’t think lesser of people who deal with incontinence. I’m happy to camp out on this position by myself—I don’t want to turn this into a struggle session—but I’d encourage others to reflect on what implications this punchline has for some of the most oppressed groups in society.
I’d want to clarify that I didn’t post this cartoon because it was a good dunk on Biden (it’s in the dunk tank, after all), but to make fun of a boomer chud making an anti-Biden cartoon that serves more as a way to make Xi look good. I honestly didn’t even notice the piss on the ground, but of course a boomer chud cartoon is going to do a childish insult like that. I don’t think making fun on incontinence is funny.
It’s all good.
Like I said, I don’t want to turn this into a struggle session and I honestly didn’t assume any malice whatsoever on your behalf in this post.
I’m just relatively privileged, especially with regards to the stuff I discussed above, and I’m using that position to do a bit of awareness raising so we can all improve our collective skills with critical media engagement and with being more supportive of oppressed groups.
I’d say that almost nobody is aware of all the myriad ways that something like ableism can fly under the radar. That’s not a fair standard to demand of yourself or others to be able to do this. (Shit, in all honesty I’m still ableist myself - I experience a lot of internalised ableism and, although I made a lot of effort to replace the low-grade ableist language like “dumb” and “stupid” in my vocabulary, life threw a multi-year shitstorm at me and I really lapsed in this effort.)
You’re good, comrade. I don’t want you or anyone else to feel bad about this, I just saw this as a teachable moment and that original comment is my way of paying it forward to the people who helped me along my (ongoing) journey in being less ableist.
Good post thank you
Absolutely. Thank you for the taking the time to eloquate this, I don’t like seeing it either.
In a similar vein, the speed at which libs went “well looks like we can be objectifying ableists too now!” because of Trump’s rancidly profane attitude was a contributing factor in my further radicalization. For a political group who so often claimed to fall back on rhetoric of “take the high ground” we’ve now gone well far past “Bush is a dumb-dumb 😏” (simplistic, but a legitimate concern for a leader) and just recently had members and cronies of the DNC alike popularizing the hashtag #TrumpSmells. I get push back that this is the type of messaging that works now because “swing voters listen to this, not the fancy fascist racist sexist tropes mmhmm” as if it’s an excuse to normalize discriminating dogmatism.
I love dunking as much as the next leftist but it’s a dehumanizing cheap shot to ever focus on things like that, and only aims to lessen the impact of true political opinion fallout under the guise of “well, this election is too important to not bring back bigotry.” I’m so over this garbage. We live in a time where pig_shitting_on_balls.webp is next in line to be a mainstream campaign ad.
Libs: Take the high ground.
Also libs: lol, poopy pants ugly smelly Trump is gay with Putin!
Not gonna go on a massive rant to you about the build-up to Trump’s election and the kind of slapfights I was getting into with progressive sorts over them giving out free passes for people who were body shaming trump and especially (dick) size shaming. You already know what it would have looked like.
Imagine me telling progressives that they aren’t actually trans allies because they will attack men over their dick size and that they aren’t feminists because they will bodyshame people and that they aren’t queer allies because they were valiantly defending the Putin/Trump edit of “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love”. I wasn’t a popular person lol.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be trans and to have people insisting that they’re trans allies or wearing “you are safe with me” pins when they turn around, do shit like that, and then lecture and gaslight you over why it was actually the right thing to do. It must be incredibly isolating: “If these are my allies then I’m in danger.”
This is such nonsense. Western press always makes it sound like we are on the verge of being invaded by Mainland China. Most of us want nothing more than to be left alone.
It was more than a little telling that they used to frequently refer to Taiwan as “China’s Cuba”. Now the comparison is to Russia and Ukraine, which just seems like wishcasting.
So what did he actually say? I strongly suspect it wasn’t “I am going to kick down Taiwan’s door and piss on their rug” as is being reported.
I got sidetracked before I could find anything on that, but oh boy is it a hilarious detour
Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense has reported occasional sightings of balloons floating from China since last month, and a surge in recent days, according to the ministry’s daily tally of Chinese military activities near the island. Official Taiwanese accounts about balloons were previously very sporadic.
The balloons do not appear to pose an immediate military menace to Taiwan, a self-governed democracy of 23 million people that Beijing says is its territory.
The Taiwanese reports also noted some of the balloons’ proximity to the island’s military bases. Of the four reported on Tuesday, three were first detected 120 to 184 miles from the Ching Chuan Kang Air Base in the city of Taichung. Taiwan’s defense ministry declined to specify how close to the base they may have flown.
Taiwan has, so far at least, experienced none of the alarm that gripped many Americans last year when a hulking Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon floated across the United States.
This whole article is just the funniest shit
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We’re still doing communist terror balloons!
Everything about the ROC’s “Airspace” is so incredibly dumb. Menacing terror balloons!
hulking Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon
It’s just such deliberately weird word choice, it has to be scaremongering
Over a high altitude weather balloon lmao
MR. PRESIDENT, WE MUST NOT ALLOW A BALLOON GAP!
My “self-governed democracy” shirt raising questions etc
Xi told Biden at the summit a couple of weeks ago that he will reunify Taiwan with China. Alarmists started thinking this means China will invade Taiwan in the near future, even though Xi said he prefers a peaceful solution.
Okay, that’s what I thought. Thanks for clarifying! : )
Xi said that China prefers a peaceful reunification with Taiwan. Western media wrote headlines saying “Xi warns Biden of taking over taiwan.”
Essentially, all Xi did was reiterate the same stance for decades now
:xi-born-to-be-wild:
alternatively
Hell yeah he looks like a Mad Max character.
This goes so fucking hard
thanks, i spent literal tens of seconds on it
Xi about to give Biden an offer he can’t refuse.
Is this supposed to be anti xi jinping?
I know right wingers reached the “playing with dolls” phase of spectacle politics a while ago, but it doesn’t get any less pathetic every time I see it.
My man Xi looking like he’s playing Road Rash
Is this a snow crash reference
China does have nukes
