Where is that video of the Chinese cop tearing milk company managers a new one for calling the police in response to workers staging a sit in as part of a labor dispute?
Bisexuals who bring the straight relationship paradigm into dating or the bedroom. (Not all or most bisexuals, but damn, certainly some)
It’s mostly just really sad -men need to up their dating game, and a lot of straight sex expectations feel kinda rapey. Like girl it’s not normal for your partner to choke you in the middle of sex without asking or prenegotiation and it is weird that you were disappointed that I didn’t do that.

A munch is just a social. People chat and stuff, kinky things don’t happen, and it is generally discouraged to use the space for cruising. Different munch dress codes vary from “be very normycore inconspicuous” to “be decent”

4·9 months ago“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.
Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

A bloody Civil War to end monarchism is not equivalent to what the US gets up to on a regular basis for the sake of making capitalists richer.

5·9 months agoIt would be helpful to give specific examples to where you think sources are being misused instead of generally saying that they are being misused.
Could you point out a specific instance where they “they rather cite segments fitting their narrative stands” in a way that misrepresents information?

Here is another helpful link, on citizen perception of the importance of democracy and whether their government is democratic.
It was founded by a former NATO secretary so it has a pro-western bias.

Here is a chart sourced from its its 2024 report. As you can see Chinese people have more faith in democracy and the democratic nature of their government than westerners do.
The whole brainwashing thing is nonsense, as Cowbee pointed out you misread the data on the 11 percent. It seems like you are misreading data to support your preconceived notions.













I mean if you’re under feudal relations supporting capitalism makes you progressive, but right now we’re operating under socialized production with capitalists constraining production around exchange value so yeah supporting maintaining capitalism is right wing. Let socialized production benefit society.
