We booked some refundable tickets for August for $2500 each just to lock something in. They’re opening like 80 new flights from the US to China soon so I’m hoping they will come down.

That's how it starts. The people will see jeans and want them and 10 years later it's perestroika, chaos, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, etc.

They've played Civilization where you get a call from another nation stating they are now wearing your jeans and listening to your pop music, signifying their acceptance of having lost the culture dominance struggle.

Do that with all the civs and you get a culture victory.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

It was a big deal in the USSR so it spread all over their assorted allies and colonial subjects.

One of my Russian professors did a study abroad at Moscow State University in the 1970s and got taken to Lubyanka for questioning because jeans and rock and roll records were showing up and they thought the American exchange student might be involved. He fortunately was not involved so it ended up being a fun story instead of, well.

1) The US is bad
2) Anything that opposes the US must be good
3) China opposes the US
4) China must be good
5) Communism is good
6) China must be communist
