so the movie return to dust (隐入尘烟) is being released in the united states and the marketing copy claims that its been censored and impossible to see in china all the articles im seeing on this topic date to september so im just curious can anyone whos actually in china confirm if its still banned or if it ever actually was banned tossing the title into baidu seems to bring up no shortage of stories so i cant tell if im actually looking at censorship or if its just a butterfly

i found an article that said it flopped at the box office in its opening but when it came out on streaming people realized how good it was and chose to see it in theaters and it got really high praise and its theatrical run ended up doing quite well and it was the highest rated 2022 film on douban. censorship typically means no commercial theatrical release, and not much else, so sounds like the US advertising is stretching something edit: Then again, would advertising lie to you? hard to explain that huh

Xi probably will meet Blinken when he comes, thats why he meets Gates first to upstage him. And if Blinken is meeting Xi, he will need to say something about US is against Taiwan independent on the readout, otherwise Xi won't see him. If Blinken can't meet Xi, Biden will fire his failson rear end and replace him with Sullivan.

Well thats my prediction, white house has to walk back on some of the things they said about Taiwan if they want a temporary truce. Maybe Biden doesn't care about patching the US economy it wouldn't surprise me. China can work with the global capitalists directly without the US (cue Gates poo poo eating grin)

The problem is as we've seen, they'll walk back a statement, than go right back to escalation. The hawkishness on China isn't solely from the US tying to fight a rival its in part to try and boost Brandon's popularity at home everytime people.begin to suspect hes a senile kid toucher. Thats part of the whole dying empire thing

https://twitter.com/Adbusters/status/1669792018581835776?s=20 what does this mean??? westerners railing against 'tankies' is so weird. Obviously China is a powerful state and the source of all the fear, but given this is addressed towards 'tankie' China sympathisers in the west... who are these people? Who do they think they are shadow boxing? There is literally not a single politician, political party or famous person in the entire western world who could credibly be described as, like a 'tankie', or a pro-China socialist. The 'tankie' representation is a few people on twitter and this fringe subforum of this dead gay comedy forum. Is that really enough to stir up so much angst? I guess Roger Waters might count?

Has anyone written a book about the ideology of Gen X? I was reading one about what the author described as "the Second Generation of Neoconservatives", meaning the ones who had begin to enter graduate school and think tanks in 1989-91, and so weren't the older Jewish American Trotskyists, these would be the people who believe in the End of History most fully, and they're loving warped psychos because of it, but that's still a bit too old for Gen X I think? It would also not apply to most people of that age cohort, just the academia and DC ghouls.

retarded used to mean backward, slowed, and also mentally handicapped and it made people feel bad so now we can't say it genocide meant physical extermination of an entire people through sterilization or murder and specifically did not include political or religious afilliation so that the US couldn't get caught with that in north korea and the word made people feel bad so liberals describe everything that opposes them with it so unfair

the internment of the japanese was a substantially worse version of what happened in Xinjiang but we can't talk about the period in history where "the US genocided all asian americans." People's homes and property were stolen and when it was over they weren't allowed to return to the west coast, ethnic cleansing the western coastal cities but we can talk about china genociding muslims and people nod. yeah yeah i heard about that that's right that's what's going on

Frosted Flake posted:Has anyone written a book about the ideology of Gen X? That's early gen x. Antonymous posted:genocide by definition means physically exterminating a people Not according to the guy who coined the term. Lemkin posted:New conceptions require new terms. By "genocide" we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. This new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development, is made from the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide (killing), thus corresponding in its formation to such words as tyrannicide, homicide, infanticide, etc. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group. Edit: I don't think this describes what is happening in China, just to be clear.

yah and i was wrong the official definition includes religion obviously it does. I just know the internationally recognized definition not some guy's feeligns intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such, by methods which are exhaustively stated below - Killing members of the group; - Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; - Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; - Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; - Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. - Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. (that's really what it says) the meaning doesn't matter its just trying to equate collective punishment in the face of terrorism by way of residency schools, something about as hosed up as our border policy and seperating children, with the holocaust and nazi germany, with the intent not of preventing the wrongdoing, but of giving people excuses for their racism and xenophobia towards chinese people, and building cultural good will toward any future belligerency aimed at the chinese nation Antonymous has issued a correction as of 05:44 on Jun 17, 2023 |

Frosted Flake posted:Has anyone written a book about the ideology of Gen X? I think it was someone on these fourms who once said Gen X couldn't even bother having different politics from their dads and as far as I can tell that's really it. The generation that gave us being too cool care just plugged into parroting whatever the mainstream told them was right and because their stay diet of American pop culture was all anticommunist propaganda they never developed politcs different from the boomers. Hell the only reason I think some millennials did was cause we all saw 9/11 happen when we were in high school and than everytbing got worse for most of us for the rest of our lives. Though that didn't stop ice chewing psychos like mayor Ratboy from going all in on it
