I await the overall outcome of this situation with interest.
In many respects it's similar to several western countries, but as a complicating factor, there is an education system that spends a nontrivial amount of time explaining why communism is good, and encouraging young people to believe what they are told.

It'd be a weird way to achieve it, but anything that ends with billionaire blood in the streets sounds good to me.

Oh yeah the free housing/food/utilities thing cannot be ignored. I have family members who got legacied into housing and they are baffled when younger coworkers are like "I live 20 kilometers from the office because its the only place I can afford" and of course my relatives are like "glorious communism forever".

The absolute peak of this is an extremely close family friend who is a signatory auditor and thus makes about 5-6 million rmb to review a single document and its signature (she'll do two a year and just do nothing else for the other 11/12ths of the year) and they were in tippy top free housing due to legacy status until like last year.

If I am reading your post correctly, (if kids are taught "communism = good, billionaire wealth hoarders = bad" at school then they eventually will turn on the billionaire wealth hoarders that are the CCP), this has been tried before and was crushed in the bud.

I don't remember the exact details, but University students around the country tried to start up their own Marxist clubs espousing the glories of communism. But the authorities cracked down on them and the members for not being "Xi Jinping thought" enough, (and also for getting too close to realizing that the CCP are wealth hording oppressors at odds with their own ideology.)

A slightly related turn of phrase that I have always found useful is that most people that have post-apocalyptic fantasies don't realize that they won't be the heroic lone wolf fighting off armies of marauders, nor will they be the merchant-prince of bartertown. Instead they will be just one of the bleached skulls in that pile over there in the background.

Some guys complain that they cannot get sex of woman easily, guess who should be blamed? Themselves!
 
I don’t mean you should become bitter or become a misogynist or gays! By the way, I do respect gays!
 
It is just that you need to understand what makes woman fall in love!
 
Woman fall in love with the combination of the strong gene and value. So you get to embody the strong gene and value.
 
What’s the strong gene? Just like in the jungle, the alpha male is hot fit sexy strong, and has power over the beta male physically emotionally and mentally.
 
So, if you want to get sex of woman, become fit, be mentally resilient. I don’t care how fat you are, you get to move your rear end to gym to start workout, or build a routine to make yourself be the strong one physically at least!
 
What’s value?
Animal doesn’t talk about value; value is a social concept of human. Basically it means 2 things:
-       You genuinely are a good human who has conscience, kindness, love, you care others with actions, basically it is your relationship with the world.
-       You are good at social game, for example, you are good at making money, or you are good at your craft, or you are passionate about your vision/mission. Basically, you have a life that you are passionate about and bring abundance and security to people you care.
Women value these 2 things, as such man has good relationship with woman and is capable of making woman feel safe and support her offspring and her.

You don’t have to become the top alpha in reality in a few days, but at least you can start building the characteristics of the strong gene and value, and embody these traits in your daily life, so that you actually radiate the strong gene and your value in your action, you know your character will bring you the life you desire and the sex you want from woman you desire.
 
Dear Gentlemen, I hope that this blog inspired you and assist you to get the sex you want. If you like this blog, I want you to share it with your friends or WeChat groups who need to read it. I will really appreciate you for doing that. Thanks!

Failsons are a cross cultural universal.

Chris Wu also sparked a fun dialog as while he is sleeping around he isn't lying to his partners and remembers their birthdays, leaves sweet messages, and still does his job causing an internet backlash on men trying to "call him out" by women asking if the dudes do half the stuff Chris Wu does for their partners

Mods, please change McGavin's name to Nefertiti Joy, tia.

Also, re: bone shards, after several interviews across several years, the two explanations I have most commonly received are:
"It's good to open up the bones because the marrow will add nutrition and flavour to the meal"
and
"The chef doesn't want to have to think or be careful about where to cut."

The issue of potentially choking to death as your throat is shredded by razor-sharp slivers of bone is acknowledged and regretted, in a similar manner to which one might discuss the weather, or the linear nature of time; regrettable from a certain perspective, but nothing that can in any way be changed.

China: UN human rights experts alarmed by ‘organ harvesting’ allegations 

GENEVA (14 June 2021) – UN human rights experts* said today they were extremely alarmed by reports of alleged ‘organ harvesting’ targeting minorities, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians, in detention in China.
The experts said they have received credible information that detainees from ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities may be forcibly subjected to blood tests and organ examinations such as ultrasound and x-rays, without their informed consent; while other prisoners are not required to undergo such examinations. The results of the examinations are reportedly registered in a database of living organ sources that facilitates organ allocation.
“Forced organ harvesting in China appears to be targeting specific ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities held in detention, often without being explained the reasons for arrest or given arrest warrants, at different locations,” they said. “We are deeply concerned by reports of discriminatory treatment of the prisoners or detainees based on their ethnicity and religion or belief.
“According to the allegations received, the most common organs removed from the prisoners are reportedly hearts, kidneys, livers, corneas and, less commonly, parts of livers. This form of trafficking with a medical nature allegedly involves health sector professionals, including surgeons, anaesthetists and other medical specialists.”
UN human rights experts have previously raised the issue with the Chinese Government in 2006 and 2007. Unfortunately, the Government responses lacked data such as waiting times for organ allocation, or information on the sources of organs. In this context, the lack of available data and information-sharing systems are obstacles to the successful identification and protection of victims of trafficking and effective investigation and prosecution of traffickers.
Another UN Human Rights mechanism has also highlighted concerns about the practice of removing organs from prisoners of a certain religious minority.
“Despite the gradual development of a voluntary organ donation system, information continues to emerge regarding serious human rights violations in the procurement of organs for transplants in China,” the UN experts said.
Concern remains at the lack of independent oversight as to whether the consent to donation and organ allocation is effectively given by prisoners or detainees. It is also reported that families of deceased detainees and prisoners are prevented from claiming their bodies, they said.
The experts call on China to promptly respond to the allegations of ‘organ harvesting’ and to allow independent monitoring by international human rights mechanisms.
The Special Procedures mandate holders have been in contact with China to strengthen dialogue. They would like to continue this constructive engagement with the Government of China.

An enduring 'mystery' in China has been the strong cultural prejudice against organ donation, contrasted with the ready supply - even export - of organs for transplant.

Well, mysterious until the government admitted to it by implication when they promised they'd stopped a few years back.

People are understandably sceptical that they ever actually stopped.

Land of contrasts, Sheng Ji Yang quote, etc.
