Quality shitpost OP 🤌
thanks commenter
🤌🏽 What’s with this eh?
🤌 also illustrates a “chef’s kiss” motion that someone might do when they make something delicious or are really impressed by something.
It’s funny seeing it out of nowhere when you’re used to it being like giving someone the middle finger.
I’ve only seen it in films.
maoists*
ooh ty, can you provide a resource to understand the distinction or if someone else can corroborate, i can edit the title
im not educated enough to understand this but very willing to learn
Its a heavy read but insightful.
Although China nowadays is considered socialist with a hybrid economic system. confusing country but isn’t Leninist or Marxist, unless you squint
many thanks 👍👍
To be honest its a Frankenstein’s Monster of a political philosophy so maoist maybe too narrow of a term, maybe itll fit with the 1989 Tiananmen square protests but not sure. Not a historian just know China isn’t cookie cutter socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist…
Surely China would be best described as dengost at this point?
is there a resource i can look into this with, searching the term “dengost” brings up medical, adding philosophy also serves strange results and adding china brings up dentistry in china :/
I misspelt sorry I meant Dengist. Named after Deng Xiaoping who was a leader of the ccp after Maos death and his political ideology is a big part of china’s current political landscape. I dont have any resources though I know he wrote a couple of books that will be a good resource.

“so i posted a picture of winnie the pooh, which was the style at the time”
I was going to say “lol, why do we have to be Milhouse?” but then I thought about it and yeah, we’re totally Milhouse.
ngl i tacked the logos on utterly randomly so there is no intended meaning there 😛
Something new happened visible in the West?
Well, I guess we could make memes about Xi Jinping removing his own term limits, being elected by 98% of congress (somebody was absent), burning down temples, sending troops to quell protests, filling in the sea, splattering harmful rocket fuel and sometimes parts from booster engines across populated areas, attacking Philippine fishing boats, or the concentration camps. Idk. Seem kind of in poor taste. Except for filling in the sea, thats got potential.
How about a meme about homeless people who have assigned homes outside of the district they live and work in.
How about Shiny Happy People?

Smash sparrows?
Perhaps memes as a form of criticism of socioeconomic structures headed by authoritarianism is only something dumbasses like maoists do?
Nah, what am I saying, everything and anything can and should be made fun of.
Honestly we are tired of it too. Need more creativity
It’s pretty boring to keep beating that dead horse. The fact that people keeping moving it around to pretend it’s alive adds a bit of entertainment, but most of the “ha-ha look at that dumb clown” variety, not of the “let’s do something about it” one.
as everyone knows, bad meming is one of the most atrocious acts imaginable
Definitely worse than whatever definitely didn’t happen at Tiananmen square
unambiguously
And there certainly wasn’t a neighborhood where your highway on-ramp currently is.
With the amount of criticisms Chinese EVs recieve; I’m surprised it hasn’t turned into a meme of similar nature.
If they’re so awful, why do we need aggressive tarrifs to keep them off of American streets? I don’t think anyone was making people buy them over domestic alternatives…
(muffled sounds of discord)
WTF?! Xi Jinping himself busted down my front door, grabbed my debit card, and put down a deposit on a new BYD. And what’s worse, he picked one in that really insipid grey that you can never find in a parking lot.
My city has a lot of ByD made buses, they’re nice AF, best buses ever.
Americans have long moved on from China’s atrocities, of even the Ukraine war. The news and internet told them to be outraged about something else now so they’re done.
