Yea man I live in the west. What do you watch?

One more thing, this video has probably reached more people than this tiny insulated community ever will so polymater has done more for the Chinese government than us so can we really talk shit?

Yeah but when Chinese commenters are praising the accuracy maybe it's worth a listen. Sure there's over exaggerated Xinjiang talk and the registering full names is only for +18 games and sites but the rest is decent.

 

Polymatter has made some state departmenty videos in the past but finally a decent video on "social credit score"

Didn't china save the panda? I heard they left the critically endangered category a few years ago

Here's a bbc article "how did china save the panda?"

I live in Massachusetts, its a beautiful state and probably one of the only parts of the country that could be considered "first world". If you don't have the cash for the greater Boston area, cities like Lowell, Worcester, even Springfield have lots of job opportunities where you could make a living.

Western mass and the Berkshire mountains are beautiful and real estate is cheap, but be warned there's not much opportunity and most towns seem to be in decline.

Also lots of benefits like Medicare and a higher minimum wage can make life easier as well. I even get a $30 credit for internet although that might be a federal program.

Edit: forgot about college we have pretty cheap state schools and community colleges, if you're a high achiever you could also get a free ride to some of the most pretentious universities in the world lol (they're just schools but the name will look better when it's time to sell your labor hours 😭)

Am I a NazBol??? (lemmygrad.ml)

back at it with another ridiculous question. As I have been developing my personal ideology, I've found that I reject much of the socially progressive ideas in corpo media and twitter (conservatives call it identity politics). Stuff like abolishing the nuclear family (or pride flag on drones joke) that doesn't look to change any economic or material reality I find I don't agree with.

First and second wave feminism I support as they changed the material realities for women, but the push for things like gender reassignment surgery under 16 years (i wanted to be in the cia when I was this age, people change personalities quickly during their teenage years) among other socially progressive ideas (bedtime abolition and the like) seem to be far removed from any type of class struggle and even hurt the working class.

Expressing this on Twitter got me called a nazbol (of course) but am I? Does being socially conservative but economically progressive make me a redfash? I understand intersectionality and that you can be trans and poor but focusing so heavily on non class issues seems detrimental for workers, even if they get some progressive tidbits.

plz feel free to own me if I'm spitting straight crap wrote this on my phone b4 work

edit: the thoughtful genzedong comments/commenters make this community the only place I'd be willing to ask a question like this, thanks for that, and the info you share so that myself and others can be better communists 💪🇨🇳👍
