  • I would rather personally mail a copy of my data from my phone and other devices as well as my DNA and medical records directly to Xi Jinping himself and a second copy of said data to Hamas than give a single dollar to a corporation or politician in this illegitimate genocidal settler colonial nation that's contributed nothing but harm to the world.

    Also, you kinda need to move past this Red Scare bullshit. It's not the 1950s. I was literally just chatting with my new friend in this so-called "authoritarian regime."

  • You really have your head in the sand if you think the US state is protecting us and can say this within the month that bipartisan anti-trans legislation was signed, not to mention all the bills that have been introduced that are poised to set us back further than Stonewall era.

    Now please stop making me defend the Chinese state. I hate the government of China as I do any state lol. I just think it's a far better system than the US government by almost any metric.

  • Neither is the US. Have you been paying any kind of attention?

    We had to throw bricks, go to prison, and die in public to get what little we have in spite of the state, and the second we got the tiniest shred of equity, they're working on oppressing us even more than before Stonewall.

    You're talking to someone who's been explicitly terminated from a job explicitly for being gay. Legally. With no uncertain terms that was the reason.

    Not to mention my queer ass will just fucking die next time I can't afford life-saving healthcare.

  • I mean, the US is pretty substantially worse than China, by almost any metric.

    And if you think it's not a racial issue with China, I think you have some investigating to do. You obviously haven't spent time on mainstream White Supremacist platforms such as reddit, Facebook, or the comments threads on any mainstream news article. Oh wait, I also see it here on Lemmy. There's a constant othering of Chinese people in a way there's not of people in Russia. (I even find it curious that Russia seems to appear out of nowhere in any conversation about China for no apparent reason, hmmmm.... now why is that?)

    That's why Xiaohongshu/Red Note has been so illuminating for people. It's been nice for me. Answering questions about each other's languages and judiciously sharing pictures and videos has been cool, but I already know and talk to people from China, and my dad taught social studies. For many people, this is their first realization that we've been fed racist propaganda all our lives.

    Now yes, people could react by romanticizing the state of China itself, after seeing the many ways in which it is better than the USA, but they will learn. And I hope the most important lesson they learn is that, as you said, states are made-up tools of the oppressors that only exist to divide and subject, to protect the state for the state's sake, at our expense. Always at our expense.

  • Yes, the whole thing is a tag. On tumblr you have a lot of useful tags such as #anarchism or whatever, but people also put whatever thoughts they have in the tags.

  • I am spreading misinformation online

  • Here's the rule

    Jump

  • Oh, I can explain. On tumblr, tags are usually just visible if you look at one person's particular reblogging of a post, so if you want to highlight specific tags while also crediting the person who made them, you have to either screenshot them or quote them with attribution, which is what was done here.

    Yes, it's a pretty bad design, but that's tumblr for ya.

  • There's no such thing as a benevolent state, to be honest. Nations and borders only divide and subject us. Every day, I feel more sure that we need to build communities in spite of states and to do what we can to disrupt and abolish them, so thank you for mentioning this glaring example.

    However, I will say when we in the US point at China, we've got three fingers pointing back at us. Pretty hypocritical of us, and largely racist.

  • You might appreciate this.

    This guy asked people on Red Note if it's ok to be gay, and I laughed at the response:

  • From what I've seen, a lot of queer people are afraid to be themselves there. Some may even experience backlash and threats of violence for being LGBTQIA. There's a lot of hostility to us across that entire nation tbh.

    On top of that, there is constant scrutiny with mass state surveillance. Queer and POC may be silenced or even face imprisonment for expressing themselves. And don't forget that nation's concentration camps, genocide, torture of political prisoners, and barring people who don't toe the party line from residency and citizenship.

    Oh wait, that isn't Red Note. That's the USA and my small town.

  • Weed is good to me when I can't sleep because it puts me right to sleep every time, unless I smoke too much in which case I feel anxious. I've never understood people who smoke every day.

    Also, I'm glad my name had that effect

  • When I got a couple diagnoses, I was so scared they would tell me to cut back on coffee. Thankfully, the doctor said I can drink as much as I like as long as it's black. 12 cups would be too much though lol
