In this video, two people try to talk about China in comparison to the growing US internet censorship apparatus and can’t figure out what the difference is between China and the US’s policies.
Any reasonable or accurate point they make in this video is absolutely fucking obliterated by some brain-dead thought-terminating cliche.
Our Glorious Regulations, Their Authoritarian Censorship Regime.
We’re calling for a complete and total shutdown of yankees talking about China until they can figure out what the hell is going onWe’re calling for a complete and total shutdown of yankees
talking about China until they can figure out what the hell is going on
happy this is an emoji now, but it’s missing keywords. needs “fassbender”
All the shit that Americans have made and started by themselves= “what are we bunch of asians?”
People should try to discuss political matters without using the English language. No loan words from English either. The latter part is especially crucial. Just cut out any neoliberal jargon.
Like why is Lobbying a word? It’s literally the exact same thing as a bribery, that’s corruption. The well has been so poisoned people don’t even know they’re drinking poison anymore, because they’ve become accustomed to it.
They might realize it when it personally effects them and become aware of the flaws, but still ignore the other issues and be extremely resistant to any pushback or introspection. That’s part of the reason why everyone is so divided and people are terrible at handling disagreements as well, why is it that there’s always more focus on how I say things rather than what I say? And I will go out of my way and adapt to your speaking conventions, I consider it rude and inappropriate of me to just march in here and tell you how to live your life, but then people just ignore me or say there’s something wrong with me or that I am unreasonable and solidarity is actually impossible.
“Well what do you want us to do?”
I don’t know, you gotta figure that out for yourselves, but at least get your content slop creators to stop talking about countries they have no interest in learning about. Aren’t Americans supposed to be extremely good at cancelling online personalities? So y’all can at least do that. lol
Wild because the dude implies multiple times that the mainstream narrative about China’s internet wildly mischaracterizes the reality of the situation, but he still ends up fucking whiffing in the end
Yeah its like they are trying to describe a square having no knowledge of what that shape is or even the language to talk about it. They see the square and know its a shape, but that’s it. They can’t figure out what makes it different from a circle at all.
the primary project of “western” superstructure is the erasure of class
Bingo!
Wait why do we care about Taylor Lorenz?
She’s famous for getting punched by a fascist at that Charlottesville tiki torch Nazi rally eight years ago. She was somewhat displeased in public about that and is a woman, so chuds have not shut the fuck up about her ever since.
She’s otherwise a largely unnoteworthy pop culture commentator that rotated through all the liberal newspapers and magazines for a couple decades.
no matter how good your politics are in one sphere it doesnt not stop you from being a complete fascist in others
two words: party discipline. none of our personal approaches to what we are principled on can function with the consistency demanded of building a successful socialist revolution that is capable of fighting off bourgeois ideologies. taylor is incredibly personally disciplined in her approach to the politics of disease as an immunocompromised person existing in a ~~post-~~covid world that is unflinching in the masses it is willing to sacrifice. she is also utterly incapable of combatting her liberalism on this particular matter, specifically because they do not understand the importance of party discipline in guiding the approach in China and why it is qualitatively different from what the same policies would look like here in the imperial core.
don’t miss the headline here though commenters, she has fallen into the classic liberal racist trap of “what are we, a bunch of asians?”

That is 100% of the vibe of the video, for sure. There are some points in this video where her guest frames America and China as two extremes at either end and implies that there is a reasonable middle ground somewhere (Europe). Which is pretty funny. It was fun to hear him say, “Some of that is […] maybe positive in terms of […] encouraging more competition. [I]t’d be great if if there was European equivalents of a lot of these US services…” after outlining how China’s “Great Firewall” created space for domestic tech services to develop.
there’s a real failure to imagine governance that contends with the internet and privacy responsibly.
‘‘Free Speech Fridays’’ already sent me.
