Okuteru posted:Doesn't Tencent have partial ownership of reddit? 5% isn't exactly "do what we want or you're all fired" ownership. Also I really feel like while Tencent may be a compliant party stooge in China, they are money > else in the rest of the world and are way less censorious than people on the internet blame them for. Like, plenty of companies that aren't owned by Tencent will kowtow to China's hurt feelings to keep access to their market.

It's not a single monolithic interest, as the gaming regulation dustup indicates. The clearest party corporate capture is probably China Tobacco, though: where the modernizing, centralizing, paternalistic tendency of the party runs right up against number-go-up and loses.

The government is also a massive entity that is poorly run and left hand not knowing what the right is doing stuff happens constantly. Different segments of the government working at cross-purposes is normal.

Stuff like “kids are only allowed to play one hour a day” they rolled that back within 7 days precisely because it was undercutting tencent (and a nontrivial amount of the rest of the stock market) the fact that they did it at all was flat out "left arm doesn't know what the right is doing"

lol hey since we were just talking about tencent https://cybernews.com/security/billions-passwords-credentials-leaked-mother-of-all-breaches/ this is a massive breach and affects pretty much every major brand on the planet, but tencent and weibo were hit about as hard as the next 10 brands COMBINED. 2 billion user records between the two of them.

Work in a Mumbai office briefly and you'll see plenty of saris, as completely unremarkable, normalized day-to-day wear Headgear is out of fashion for the same reason westerners stopped wearing hats to work, though. Outside of Muslim women. As is elaborate clothing on men of any kind, but hey, you're not wearing your traditional culture of breeches and a waistcoat either

As long as it doesn't come with all the fascism wrapped up in it. I loving love traditional stuff from basically everywhere but it feels like every time I talk to someone into it eventually they start dropping a bunch of fascism into the conversation and weird race stuff. Same with my Roman history hobby, same with my ancient Egypt hobby, all my hobbies are ruined by people with bad politics.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that anyone who is *really* into Roman culture, especially imperial Roman stuff, is probably just a Nazi basically You might not be a cop, but you're wearing a cop's uniform, etc.

At a wedding in india me and our sizeable group of foreigners all made efforts to get appropriate saris, kurtas and generally traditional outfits. Turned out that like 80% of dudes were wearing western style suits, and we were the outliers. People loved it tho and it's still completely normal to wear indian formal stuff, but I was surprised how ubiquitous western formal wear has become. The indian stuff looks badass, too.

Loose and breezy enough for an Australian summer, yet still allows enough freedom of movement to play backyard cricket. Although I will agree with the "if you are fully into the 'traditional clothes' thing, you are probably leaning conservative and right wing. To keep chat Indian. Modi recently tried to curry favour with your Hindu supremacist South Indian types by wearing a Vershdi, (A formal fancy pants lungi, that I and my brother have worn for weddings etc.), but because it wasn't ironed right, and the creases weren't crisp enough, your nutjob traditionalist crowd didn't bite.

Yeah. "Into" like being into history and being interested in the culture and politics of ancient Rome? Nah gently caress off. Plenty of historians will acknowledge the terrible poo poo Rome did, both to their enemies and to their own people.
