every government wants what china is going to have. most people want to live like china's citizens. china has already won.

which citizens do you mean - the rural poor, factory slaves, political prisoners or the "middle class" who seems to be having a good life only because you can't smell the smog through youtube videos

you know, five years ago I didn’t think China’s oppression was a terrible deal. don’t say anything bad about the govt and you get a ruling class that understands making the masses comfortable is the easiest way to retain power. sounded alright compared to most of Congress actively trying to gently caress over everyone with a net worth under a billion dollars

but now they’re going full 1984 and, holy gently caress this is depressing, the USA looks pretty good by comparison. I don’t think, or at least I hope, that people generally don’t want to be in the 2018 Chinese citizen’s position

One of my international students from China clearly really loved America, really loved going to school here, and badly wanted to stay around after he graduated, but immigration being what it is in the USA there was no path for that. The last week before he went back he was like a ghost hanging around the school every day until the building closed :(

hoverwife's dad used to do this poli sci program where they brought over college students to essentially do hardcore poli sci coursework for a year

he said that they'd go over and interview prospective students for it who could think critically (from among the children of influential party members or whatever), and that one of the things their counterparts for the program tried to rule out were students who would be unwilling to return to china once they were done

i think you're still going to get that from beijing, you'll just have fewer choices in a society carefully maintained to minimize awareness that there's any other way. when you're born and raised in a jail you don't even realize that you can get windows that don't have bars on them.

one of my classmates in my grad program last year was uyghur.

it took me a bit to understand what he actually meant when he told me he wouldn't be able to go home and visit his family for the foreseeable future.

oh i'm sure that lots of chinese people approve of how things are going over there and if you ask might say things like "well its this or lawless chaos, of course i want govt to maintain order. dont you know about the cultural revolution". that doesn't make it a system i want getting anywhere near me

By chaining up enough new and complex movements, you can smash the gait detection stack and write arbitrary instructions into memory.

The city will belong to a new breed, part hacker, part dancer. Elite hackdancing crews will rule the underground and run secret missions on behalf of the mega corps.
