all numbers from china are carefully curated and are more like an allegory for the truth, if they're claiming 0 then it probably just means the areas it's spreading in are small and isolated enough that they expect we'll never find out

Tarquinn posted:Where is that racism against Blacks in China coming from? The western world with its history of colonialism and slavery has some people that really have not evolved from that mindset, but why are Chinese more racist against Blacks? What I am saying is, why aren't they equal opportunity racists? it's part "darker neighbours bad" (india/philippines/vietnam) so more dark = more bad, and part grudging bootlicking respect for successful colonial empires, if they had been kicked around by the zulu empire rather than the british then they'd be more racist against whites

cooked rice has a massive surface area that's why bacteria will breed in it quicker than other foods, with exponential growth it can go from a manageable bacteria level to deadly within an hour and there's no way to detect it by taste or smell because it happens so quickly, I'll eat any other old food but don't gently caress with rice

If you believe in the strength of your posting go argue with the CCP stans over there. this makes no sense, nobody should be expected to debate a tankie no more than they need to debate a nazi, any time when your position is in favor of black-box reeducation camps then the exact details about how you arrive at that position cease to matter this is not something that can be solved with science, data, rhetoric or pulitzer-price winning journalism, their position just needs to be made socially unacceptable so punch them in the streets and ban them from online spaces

the mainland is kind of a cultural wasteland post-90s, it's just the blandest most repetitive poo poo imaginable. I think Zhang Yimou's Hero is partly to blame, it showed you can have a scarily pro-authoritarian movie and just hide it with some production values (lol hollywood) and get universally praised. The east bloc had lots of good stuff with Tarkovski, Forman and Parajanov so being authoritarian doesn't have to mean poo poo culture the tall lesbians comic is ok but I stopped reading it after I realized it's also stifled by obvious self-censorship https://mangadex.org/title/13939/tamen-de-gushi Vesi fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Jul 27, 2020 |

Strategic Tea posted:My guess it's just the slow realisation that rabid nationalism and outrage is the most efficient way to control a modern society, and that anyone who doesn't adopt it will be out-competed by someone who does I'm hoping this applies only to first-past-post voting systems (US, UK, India) or already authoritarian states (Russia, China). In EU the racist parties usually get 15-35% of the vote with just a few exceptions like Portugal (0%) and Hungary, and are either kept out of the government or have just limited power.

I'm no expert on the polish situation but the way I had it explained to me was that the law and order party actually substantially improved conditions for their rural base with improved welfare etc, unlike other (american-style) racist parties that are more focused on worsening conditions for their perceived enemies (and incidentally their voters too).
