Antonymous posted:Chinese people are more than willing to criticize their government in private. People are typically supportive but not blindly, except maybe on a few big issues like Taiwan. Chinese people are more brainwashed by pro-Western propaganda than pro-government propaganda. The number of mainlanders who believe Western governments are built on a genuine ethos of individual rights/free markets/personal freedom is crazy. Like their interpretation of covid policy is still pro-China, but they are way too willing to believe that Western governments are acting in good faith - 'Western policy doesn't seem great, but we understand that americans love freedom and it's hard for the government to control and restrict them, so the US govt didn't really have a choice' - as opposed to the reality that the government simply does not give a poo poo. I guess everyone in any country has a more realistic view of where they live and is easily misled about other nations.

Pedestrians outnumber cars, there are no random gunshots to be heard, very few obese people (sign of a famine?), etc

My wife is a Chinese expat here in America and she's shocked and appalled by how Americans consume 3 lbs of cinnamon per capita per year and in the most disgusting manner imaginable. In China cinnamon is a spice used sparingly to season 红烧肉 and a few other meat dishes. In America they dump cinnamon on every kind of desert and sweet. there's cinnamon flavored coffee and oreos and a national chain of bakeries that exclusively make cinnamon flavored sweet pastries called Cinnabon. Source: I've lived in America for six years.

The number of mainlanders who believe Western governments are built on a genuine ethos of individual rights/free markets/personal freedom is crazy. anti-us propaganda in china is extremely mild. a lot of chinese middle class empathized with trumps trade war. its a lot like if you told a liberal that the french president hated america and wanted to punish its people, they would fawn over it because "aww, the french, yeah our president is bad!". Middle class china always sees america as a working alternative. the only place china is unified in disliking is Taiwan, and even then its mostly tepid. A lot of people love japan (anime).

Idk I have chinese friends say stuff like "at least in the usa cops can't just decide to ruin your day like in China, you have rights" the propaganda really really works. Even in LA with its homelessness epidemic people just see beverly hills, a gaudy enclave china has millions of, and say "look in America people can't gently caress with you making money" etc its very weird. But if I move to a country I would rather praise them and curse my homeland, so maybe I do get it edit: also most chinese you meet who live in USA have advanced degrees and come from a pretty middle class if not higher background. class really is the fundamental determinant of ideology Antonymous has issued a correction as of 06:24 on Jul 23, 2022 |

did you guys know that america used to be just like England in terms of absolutely loving mince and beef pies that were so full of alchohol you could die of alchohol poisoning from them until mass market canning appeared in the 1920s and American pies became completely relegated to being a dessert option rather than a staple American food? pies of all types used to be an American institution until 1920 or so

what are you looking for here? someone to quote you and say you're a smart special boy? for me to have an a-ha realization that flavors belong to the cultures that originated them like some kind of intellectual property? what is the objective in this line of questioning, and I'll answer you

your logic would say "thai food isn't spicy, because if it's spicy, it's not thai" you should be ashamed by that kind of logic cooking in your brain. exercise it

That’s not what my logic is saying at all. I’m saying it’s weird to say cinnamon is a western/American specific flavor.

flavors exist in the tongue-brain connections of a human being they do not have "specificities" I already explained my definition as being a flavor common and familiar "it tastes like cinnamon" the white man said
