The conversations are amazing
Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We’ve been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.
You keep on coping there little buddy. What’s happening is that regular people from both countries are now talking directly to each other, and finding out what life is actually like.
Uhhh, not exactly regular people. From what I’ve seen from the Rednote, at least my feed is wealthy upper-middle or upper class, while the Americans are from low to middle class.
That’s because via GDP those two are at the same level even though they are different levels in their own country.
I didn’t think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.
China’s government’s strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.
Same.
Not hard to believe when there’s camps for uyghurs.
Happy to be wrong.
I maintain this, but other comrades like @davel and @yogthos keep better megathreads about this topic.

This megathread is garbage, it lists quora and twitter threads as sources.
Twitter and quora are not sources lol. They’re platforms ppl use, and their posts should be measured by their merits, not where it’s posted.
The social score thing isn’t really propaganda as much as it is idiots believing whatever they read. It started from what was essentially thinly veiled racism, and became “true” because people kept hearing it.
