IMO he is closer to a black nationalist than a communist, and I totally have critical support for black nationalists hating whites, but it’s not a communist position to me. It is what it is.

Um. Long story short he kept saying things like cracker, buckra, I know why all the hatians murdered you people. I was just trying to interact. He said black people knew stuff from birth that white leftists argue their whole life over. Being genuinely curious, I asked what that was, then he started attacking me for being white again so I linked Combat Liberalism where it says not to engage in personal attacks instead of engaging people and said he was being a liberal so blocked me.

Give it back to him. The damage is done and now half of twitter posts like him but not funny.

TFW when you realize neoliberal support for immigration was actually designed to keep you in the labour aristocracy.

Just to reiterate, I’m not trying to run cover for them. Obviously China has lots of conservatives even if it does have a nascent LGBTQ rights community, but this the perspective that iirc people like Carl Zha and Xiangyue have given on the topic. I don’t know Chinese so I’m just going by second hand.

I’ve heard that the spirit of the law really isn’t anti queer and the term can be translated as queer or I believe something along the lines or men that use good looks to get ahead.

As I’ve said, the party is being called out for using a term domestically for using an ambiguous term that could be misinpreted to attack effiminate men. Hopefully this is true and they change it.

I’ve followed this quite bit on twitter and the ones that tend to defend China say that the intention of the CPC was to crack down on kpop celebrity culture, which they view as unhealthy as it idolizes a sort of fake materialism.

Apparently the term translates poorly, but is also questionable and insensitive in Chinese and the party is being called out for being out of touch boomers for not finding a more PC way to say it.
