appropriately for the recent topics of the thread i got ahold of some yale grammars to deepen my language studies outside of class textbooks, and some have the freakin traditional characters! one even uses wade-giles instead of pinyin. which won't be impossible to adjust to but it will be a major pain in the rear end.

With the language studies do you do any work / jobs that have you dealing with Chinese or is it just for scholarly pursuits?

yo just FYI, I was probated for "anime" but in reality I bought the manga, and those things are categorically different fwiw

I'm not saying anime is good (I mean, that's a discussion we could all have, I guess) but to conflate anime and manga is kind of an oversight iyam

i talk to chinese people all the time, but right now it's almost entirely english and i want that to change. might do grad work at some point and the degrees i'm interested in would be taught in chinese, so that's another motive.

Did this thread ever talk about the latest episode of David Harvey's Anti-Capitalist Chronicles where he talks about the condition and history of the Chinese working class?

Can those of you who have experience in China comment on whether his take on the situation the is correct?

lol see western propaganda can't even do this one right

this image and video were not censored in china but fully broadcasted on state TV, because tank driver who could have easily crushed "tank man"'s anti-socialist rear end tried repeatedly to go around him and when the man kept getting in the way they halted entire tank column as to not run him over. It showed that people's liberation army soldiers were benevolent men drawn from china's peasants and working class who went out of the way to save his ungrateful life. Who only defended themselves when CIA controlled elements attempted to stage right-wing uprising against party.

of course in west you only see selective parts of it as anti-china propaganda

It was ok to be gay with your bro in the 19th century.

I do like the Marx and Engels stuff and it's breathing some real life into the show that previously was just a list of bullet points from Marx's biography. But the show is really dropping the ball on the most important element of their lives which was the context of the world they operated in and how it influenced the development of Marx's thought. In a sense, not dramatizing any of that makes Marx's development feel purely idealistic. Like, Bruno Bauer is set up as Marx's best college buddy, but it skips over On The Jewish Question - which was a direct response to Bauer's essay about how Jews gotta be forcibly converted to secularism. Their falling out over ideological differences is completely ignored. Marx is just calling Bruno a naive idiot out of nowhere, and saying he was disillusioned with the Young Hegelians was also never shown.

I get that any show can't focus on everything, but it's still disappointing that the really interesting parts of Marx's life that make him a complete human being are papered over to propagandize his greatness as a philosopher. It tells and doesn't show, and surely the Chinese government could have supported a much more comprehensive project.

worst part is they only seem to adapt cg anime from actual good things just to twist the knife (like berserk and vinland saga)

low fps is the 'we tried our hardest to make it look good' choice, it's extra work over high fps
