The torture never stops: https://soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous/episode-75-the-epoch-times-feat-jared-holt Also in QAnon's case they're not exactly pro-government but they're pro-strongman, which FG isn't...? The whole cult is an elaborate LARP that lets boomers fool themselves that they didn't vote for a dumbass.

But I don’t really know poo poo so. like every other every weird cult they also built themselves a compound in the remote American wilderness   this place is in upstate New York. Although to be fair to them, if anybody is justified building a massive defensive base with armed guards and razor wire, it is Falun Gong. They probably still have to deal with constant infiltration efforts from the CCP

It's hard to figure out what's true, what's scaremongering, what's clickbait and what's the CCP downplaying a potentially massive fuckup the China flooding is real, while we still get to see how bad it really is. the "dam is collapsing" rumor has been flying since the day it had been built so I won't hold my breath for it. and the Japan one is bad not the worst, we have news footage about that

Jeoh posted:i thought falun gong members were more worried about exfiltration Serious question: Is that a real thing? Are there ex-Falun Gong escapees? Is it that bad within the cult? Are they held against their will? etc. I knew it was Scientology with Chinese Characteristics, but I thought that was more to do with how nutty they are, and how they expect money from you. Does it also jealously guard it's secrets and members like Scientology also. Sorry if I just whiffed on a joke. But I really don't know much about Falun Gong/Dafa.

I think my favourite is the "SO CALLED western intelligence" line, but "Xinjiang? Yes lovely place this time of year." and "I've never seen this before and don't know what it is supposed to be showing but it's definitely fake" are also good.

You forgot, "I've never seen this before", and "This is not the first time you have shown me this." immediately after one another. Edit: Will the ambassador get into any trouble from the CCP either for his accepting the invitation to go on that TV show or his cringeworthy horrible performance on it?

BrigadierSensible posted:On this. Isn't it super hard to leave The Party anyway? As in, you have to provide reasons, and it takes a long time to process paperwork, and there are restrictions on what you can and can't do and say even once you have dealt with the rigmarole they put you through. And they still keep tabs on you once you have left, and you are still subject to all the rules etc. I also heard that if you are a low level Party member, you have to apply for permission and fill in paperwork for any sort of travel/work change/house move/etc. anyway? Coz the higher ups in the CCP assume you are a security risk anyway. They keep my Father in Law's passport in a safe, and he has to fill out a form if he wants it to leave the country. He also has to list all his foreign relatives and their addresses. We gave him a fake one to use for us.

But by "they" do you mean The Party, or you FIL's family? Coz if your FIL keeps his passport in a safe in his own house, then that's cool. Just being careful. But if the safe in which your Father in Law's passport is at party headquarters, then loving hell, that must suck for him, and by extension your spouse. Again, sorry for potentially misunderstanding your post.

Correction: although Tiktok did pull out of HK to comply with new legislation, it hasn't been replaced with Douyin and there are no immediate plans to make that happen. However, people in HK have been using Douyin for years via account switching already, and Tiktok never caught up to it in popularity there

However, people in HK have been using Douyin for years via account switching already, and Tiktok never caught up to it in popularity there according to their own statements, very few people in HK used either and they don't even have plans to officially launch douyin there (but people who have it will use it without issue I assume).

You cannot download douyin in HK but you can download Tiktok (although it won't work). The main user base in HK for Tiktok was Filipino domestic helpers who liked to use it as a means of relieving stress. You can still access it with a VPN and a phone without a SIM card but it's too much hassle for most of them. Just another way life got shittier in HK for domestic helpers.
