I don't watch the genocide Olympics because it's always just a competition between the US, China, Russia, and the UK.

Chomsky's take on things has always been consistent: its about framing. In every situation, american media will devote all of their efforts to the (real and awful!) atrocities committed by their foreign villains, with quick asides to the (sometimes equally bad, often worse) atrocities committed by their own goverment in the region. When this discrepancy is pointed out, it gets portrayed as apologia. I don't think he exactly has as much care in discussing these things as I would, but its extremely disingenuous to ignore his major thrust to say "he was just running PR for genocide" What he finds unconscionable about this is the way in which it affects how we think about things. Our atrocities are complex, morally grey, and require very slow, glacial incrementalism to fix. Foreign atrocities are uniquely clearly evil, and demand immediate clear intervention, often with force. He focuses on the former because its laughable to think that your average american can do MORE to stop a foreign crisis than they can to stop a domestic one, and yet it is constantly the drum we're banging. Somehow americans have more power to affect China than they do their own goverment. To bring this full circle, how ridiclous would it sound to you if someone suggested sending in the US military to occupy and dismantle ICE facilities? Comparatively, this thread has on multiple occasions gone on long tom clancy esque tangents about a possible US military intervention in taiwan. We can only ever imagine bringing america's power to bear against our enemies, and feel powerless against ourselves.

Barudak posted:Super duper mega common and that old lady looks exactly like a relative who sadly cannot eat spicy. I mean you can't go wrong with just a shitload of MSG. What's the standard flavor? I wasn't sure if it was a fad thing in the US or genuinely a standard condiment in China. It's great poo poo tho

Unfortunately all the best flavors are only in China, I've never seen them exported. Assuming you're in the US the ones you're likely to find are: Chili crisp - this is an export only version that doesn't exist in China. It's the basic one abroad. Black bean - this is the OG. You use this in cooking more often, the others are more for slathering on things. San ding - this has peanuts, tofu, and some kinda dried vegetable, I think turnip. I like this one best for what you can get in the US. Fried chili in oil - this is the China version of chili crisp. More MSG, no onion, etc. If somehow you run across the chicken or the pork strip ones those are great.

All laoganmas are precious and good. Also you should be able to find some duojiao, give that a shot.  I see this brand everywhere. It's mainly for cooking I think (I don't know a lot about Hunan food sadly) but it's also good as just a big ol dump on some eggs or whatever.

Assuming you're in the US the ones you're likely to find are: I have "spicy chili crisp" and "chili oil with fermented soybeans" is the second one the black bean? They're both really nice, the crunch from the crispy chilis is nice on rice or whatever. My veg garden is starting to produce so I've been making lame rear end attempts at stir fried with a couple spoons of either of them. That's really nice

You can also just buy those beans, they're called douchi and are good in everything. In English I think they're usually called fermented black beans? Fried rice topping is a good laoganma use. I would get takeout fried rice from the joint around the corner with the bottom of the barrel cleanliness score and friendly kitten. Crispy egg on top and then a load of laoganma, food of the gods.

It's really not that hot, despite what it looks like. That said, I have a high tolerance and some things I literally can't even taste peppers in are inedibly spicy to others, so I may not be the best judge.

The owner of the company is also rad as hell, actually started with nothing, famous for treating her employees very well and paying good wages and such. It's a success story all around.

I mean by comparison it's a fraction of the heat of sriracha. Like I dunno maybe a quarter as spicy as sriracha? Like you said I put it on fried rice or fried eggs. gently caress, put it on ice cream that would unironically own

While you're at the Chinese grocery getting Laoganma head to the snack aisle and get these: Mala peanuts, the world's greatest beer snack.

China doesn't do hot for hot's sake all that much, really. Peppers are in things because they taste good. It's not trying to kill you. That's not to say China lacks food that will destroy your rear end in a top hat. Hunan and Guizhou say hello. But that's not the point.

You develop a tolerance to Sichuan pepper. When I first moved to Chengdu my mouth was buzzing after every meal, but after a year I'd have to just literally eat a handful of them straight from the bag to get a tingle. I still do. So if you aren't living there long enough and eating them every day you aren't having the same experience as everyone else. That pot of soup with literally 400 of them in it isn't making anybody else's mouth numb.

Hot pot is a special case, it does get overwhelming in that and is part of why Sichuan hotpot sucks. In normal food it doesn't. There is a variety of strength though, the tribute peppers I got are powerful poo poo and even make me numb. Other than that, I get a little tingle if I eat enough of it but it takes a lot. Also depends how old they are and how they were processed.

I love the flavor of chili but I'll never understand the appeal of ratcheting up the heat to the level of ultimate butthole annihilation. Like I know a guy who intentionally buys those sauces with names like "Rectum Draino" and "Anus Death" and it's like, the hell is the point if all you taste is pure fire? I've also been meaning to try Brian David Gilbert's pepcorn recipe and laoganma is the key ingredient.
