i'll believe it when i see it, and i still think patriarchal cult of personalities allowing a single person to rule for long periods is a disaster in the making

Of course, I am very much aware that Whites aren't in control of their own nations but (((others))) are. I think, however, Chinese have a much less "passive" view of the world. We are unapologetically imperialist, and we will be ruthless against Africans and Muslims if Whites agree.

We just need to agree on our world domination, otherwise we can't do anything either. I see nothing wrong with Chinese colonialism in Africa, though I find Chinese colonialism towards fellow East Asian peoples unnecessary trouble. After all, we need raw materials from Africa for our civilisation and Africans are too unadvanced to make proper use of it.

I see nothing wrong with supremacy itself. It just depends on what you do with it. If you make a better world, then I'm totally in favour of White supremacy. If you make it like the place it is now ruled by (((them))), then I can't support it.

My Chinese view of supremacy is that it can never be absolutely evil and it's a Jewish-Christian mind-set to think in dualities: absolute evil or absolute good. As a Chinese polytheist traditionalist, I think in no absolute dualities. I just think supremacy is good for something. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Supremacy is normal. Chinese philosophers would agree.

Whites let themselves be philosophically pushed into a corner so they would accept they deserve no racial power. However, Chinese do not believe that. We believe in power, we believe in supremacy. We are not necessarily malevolent, but we are not necessarily benevolent either. It just depends on the relationship we have. Africans have a bad relationship with us. We don't see them as useful, at least from a traditionalist point of view, and so we will likely be very mean to them in the long term. At least I hope so.

My point is just that Whites have adapted too much to the (((liberal ideology))). I see no reason to say "I disavow White supremacy". I believe Whites should have power, autonomy (live by their own code) and sovereignty (independent rule). I believe in White power. Asians just say how they wish the world to be. They want to see Whites as powerful. That way they have someone to look up to. Asians respect powerful people. They do not respect people who are poor, weak and sick. Just let Asians see you as superior, that way you will have their full support.

if people actually bothered to read the original document the statement on hip hop only applies to the one program where the scandal-ridden guy quit. but because no one loving reads anymore, they just see a tweet and decide china is banning hip hop

this seems to indicate it was larger than that

http://pigeonsandplanes.com/news/2018/01/china-banned-hip-hop-culture-television

quote:

The country now "specifically requires that programs should not feature actors with tattoos [or depict] hip hop culture, sub-culture and dispirited culture" after new rules were put in place by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China (SAPPRFT).

These new restrictions were implemented following a recent decision to remove a rapper named GAI from one of China's biggest singing competition shows, Singer. Other recent instances of hip-hop censorship in the country have occured when rapper VaVa was cut from variety show Happy Camp, and songs by underground rapper Triple H were removed from several major streaming sites. A contestant on a show called Super Brian even had his necklace blurred out because it was deemed to be too closely in line with hip-hop aesthetics.

Rapper PG One was also recently forced to apologize for his song "Christmas Eve," which contained themes of drug use and tropes from popular hip-hop culture.

i'm going by the original statement, which emphasizes the "four must nots" as universal requirements but in the section about hip-hop (嘻哈), it uses the term 节目 meaning "item on a program" or "program" rather than 广播电视 meaning "broadcast and television" more generally. this was the term used to address guests when discussing the "four must nots" but not the one used to discuss hip hop culture, tattoo artists, etc. idk about the other measures but it seems like western reporting is lumping in unrelated incidents. previous censorship has come explicitly after the women's league criticized artists and was done to expressly combat misogynistic lyrics, according to the statements put out that, again, no one actually reads

okay, that's fair. i think people just associate it with bill o'reilly-esque arguments against hip hop, and so it all seems very silly

I agree, which is why it's essential that workers form ties across borders and juxtapose/demand their own freedom of movement as opposed to that of capital. The insecurity of workers vis-a-vis national borders allows the wage rate to be suppressed everywhere and workers to have their surplus value stolen even more viciously in national bourgeois interests everywhere

the state, money, and wages, the three things people associate capitalism with most

yeah better that we stick with the freedom/opportunity/entrepreneurship vs. 100 million dead/breadlines/gulag paradigm we're all familiar with

or better yet, the meaninglessness of the phrase "ownership of the means of production" which renders everything from your local co-op to kibbutzim in israel a socialist utopia in the naive sense that proudhon conceived of it

or the state ownership of the means of production paradigm, which renders scandanavia, iran, and dprk socialist... which all maintain those lovely hierarchical relations of a state, wage labor, money, and commodity exchange :smugdon:

capital is a global system and no nation has successfully managed to exist "outside" of what is essentially a global system. at best, a nation can achieve tenuous social democratic measures either with the backing of the west (scandanavia) or its incessant subterfuge (cuba). any talk of fighting to preserve such regimes is only justified insofar as it entails preventing violence from an aggressor, which is equally just if we're going to say that the u.s. shouldn't invade afghanistan and so forth

i just thought that comic was silly, i more or less agree virtually no state is 100% full on communism. but I support the ones that are trying! except for the DRPK, juche is fascism ;) and china should cool it on the capital punishment
