Does it matter though? That on/off behavior has been going on for decades. It is actually how N.Korea really works. If I could wager a guess, this time they are trying to boost morale inwards since the economy went to poo poo with China closing the border, virus and all.

So...reading about this guy..(heard of him fro the first time the other day in the dems thread really)

quote:

Vaush holds left-wing views and identifies as a libertarian market socialist. However, he has said he doesn't care for the label that is put onto him and identifies more like a leftist in general. In spite of this, he despises authoritarian leftism, in fact having heavily fought against people espousing political positions similar to that of Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin in the past, who he refers to as Tankies. His long-term goals are similar to those of an anarchist, meaning that he believes in the conditional abolition of all unjust hierarchy in society. However, he stopped labeling himself as any kind of anarchist (anarcho-syndicalist, to be exact), around November 20th of 2019 due to his belief in an intermediary stage between capitalism and his ideal society which runs contrary to anarchist thought.

Vaush opposes homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism and anti-semitism. He also believes in the abolition of private property, emphasizing the use of worker co-ops, a business that, instead of being privately owned, is owned by all the workers democratically. He is anti-sectarian, meaning that he believes in working with those he doesn't fully agree with to accomplish common goals. The two most prominent examples of coalition-building he advocates for are between socialists and social democrats to push the Overton Window further to the left, and between anarchists and leftists, in general, to push for socialism. He has also said he is willing to work with liberals against fascism until such a point comes that they have no further common goals to work towards with.

The previously-mentioned intermediary stage Vaush advocates for is market socialism, which will reinforce the values of the Enlightenment (Equality, Fraternity, and Liberty) in a way that capitalism can't, which is what will make the establishment of an anarchist society possible. He advocates for a violent revolution to bring about said market socialist society, although he believes one should only happen in the future since the material conditions for such a revolution to be successful aren't present in the moment. His belief that the US is incapable of reaching socialism through democratic means is one of the main reasons for his support of the 2nd Amendment's right to bear arms.

ok....-ish but

quote:

Around August 2017, Vaush met a woman under the username Poppy through Discord. The two, both known for their provocative views, began speaking in direct messages. According to Vaush they stopped being friends over what he calls her "misappropriate use of feminist rhetoric".

Several months after the friendship ended, Poppy shared several sexually explicit messages Vaush sent to Poppy during the time they were friends. Due to this, the Discord server through which the two met became divided over who was in the right. In early 2019, he debated a person under the username of Pastel on Discord. Pastel later accused him of sexual harassment.

Due to the release of the logs, people began spreading a rumor that Vaush became a leftist in 2012 or 2013 to gather a collection of women who were also leftists to have sex with them.

wow. big yikes

as long as the West keeps calling the fishermen in the South China Sea as "maritime militia", then China is always going to be able to claim that "we don't have any maritime militia in those waters, we don't have anyone that needs to leave, I don't know what you're talking about"

Well sure but suddenly getting, er..220 moored (not fishing) fishing boats in Whitsun Reef does sound a little like a maritime militia of sorts. Especially if they say they all thought of doing that at the same time to protect against the...sunny weather in the area.

The whole shebang in the SCS is a huge posturing game for most participants, sprinkled with some bullying and hilarious announcements to and fro.

This is a self inflicted wound of sorts. If the government hadn't scrambled to censor anything and everything related to the matter at hand (and is still continuing to do that religiously), the whole thing would have been completely forgotten..

I don' think Xi even knows about that to be honest. Just standard procedure by the bureaucrats that is seen as "devastating commentary" by the trolls.

But the main censoring (aside from the 2018 film that didn't pass muster) was with Winnie the Pooh association memes, like the ones I showed above, . Or this one, from the 2015 parade, posted in Weibo etc.

“A member of a Christian ‘house church’ in the southwestern province of Sichuan who asked to be identified by a pseudonym Li Yuese said he was held in a facility run by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s United Front Work Department, working in tandem with the state security police, for 10 months after a raid on his church in 2018,” Radio Free Asia reported. “Another Christian who asked to remain anonymous told RFA that similar facilities are being used across China, not just for Protestants, but also for members of the underground Catholic church, and of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement, a target of authorities since 1999.”

Radio Free Asia is a non-profit broadcasting corporation funded through the U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal government agency.
