1. It’s very obvious she’s wearing makeup in the first pic.

2. She probably has some makeup in the second pic too.

3. Her hair is dyed either way. Not sure how having dyed hair fits into people malding over makeup.

Noted liches Castro and Mao who still rule their countries from beyond the grave.

Well, all the militant atheist socialist projects haven’t existed in decades while AES is reconcilitory towards religion. Vietnam and Cuba still exist with Catholics running around while the Soviet Union/Yugoslavia/socialist Albania/socialist Romania are no more.

This is pretty conclusive that state atheism is at best not very important and at worst detrimental to the longevity of the socialist project.

Western Marxists can’t stop being Reddit atheists. China already gave us the blueprint: keep the religion, control the clergy, liquidate those who refuse to toe the party line.

Why should socialists liquidate the Roman Catholic church when it’s much more profitable to seize control of its institutions?

That society was no angel.

I wanna see Reddit atheists apply “all religions must be abolished right now” to Judaism, an Abrahamic religion that worships the same god as Islam.

Yeah, well I’ll have you know some Aussie Youtuber who has never set foot in Greenland thinks Greenland is better off with the US because that would make the Danish so mad.

There is no greater confirmation than an official denial.

The easiest tell that Euros won’t do shit and do as they’re told is the fact that buying Chinese or Iranian weapons, let along Russian weapons, doesn’t even cross their minds. With a thoroughly deindustrialized economy, by what means are they going to throw out the Burgerlanders?

So they’ll continue to buy US weapons, and they’ll do as they’re told like good little vassals.

1. Only Alexei was a kid when they got owned.

2. Alexei’s hemophilia was bad enough that he almost died one time because the royal carriage he was on had a slightly bumpier than usual ride. Like, he didn’t even bump his head. The mere vibrations were good enough to induce internal bleeding that almost killed him. People with his hemophilia don’t usually make it past 10, and the only reason he made it to 13 was because he was the heir apparent of an empire on top of being incredibly lucky due to many close calls like the aforementioned bumpy royal carriage ride that almost killed him. If the Bolsheviks haven’t killed him, he probably would’ve jerked himself to death because he gripped his dick too hard. Alexei had a good run.

You’re giving a bunch of senile technologically illiterate boomers way too much credit. They’re going to ban XHS because they’ll Google translate XHS, see that it spits out “little red book,” and have a kneejerk reaction in banning the site. They also recognize that a lot of their propaganda strategy hinges on people not knowing basic info on China.

There are smarter moves than just banning the site. The smartest move is to keep XHS and use it as a vector to spread US propaganda. Contact between two different parties is a dialectical relationship after all, and it’s undialectical to think that only one party will be affected. I don’t think it’s that hard to cultivate Westophilia within XHS’s userbase, but that strategy hinges on some cultural contact between the two countries, which I believe would be unacceptable to the boomers in charge. Another move they can play is to create trolls that ruin the site and push XHS to block US accounts, which allows the US to push out propaganda about how China fears US cultural exports.

You’re overcorrecting in the opposite direction. The whole situation is funny because the US obviously wants to ban Tiktok for propagandist reasons, so the fact that so many Tiktokers are jumping on board to a site that translates to “Little Red Book” is funny.

This is like the CEO shooting all over again. People try to make a funny event more than what it really is which then prompts other people to overcorrect about how we shouldn’t “lionize” the shooting because the alleged shooter said some reactionary things.

Most likely, XHS will be banned in the US, making your entire post moot. Just enjoy the wild ride for what it is because the ride is going to end very soon anyways.

That Breadtube series is still stuck in pre-2020 politics when the alt-right and Sanders were still relevant. The alt-right technically doesn’t even exist anymore. Are Marjorie Green and DeSantis alt-right figures? Despite being Christofascists, it doesn’t make sense to call they that because they aren’t marginalized figures but GOP politicians. Even Qanon is waning. Outside of some true believers, most people have moved on from Qanon. Most reaction these days are firmly rooted with the GOP. They don’t need to be alt anything anymore when some Floridan governor is saying what they’re thinking.

It also shows the impotence of these videos. You make all these videos only for the GOP to adopt alt-right politics anyways, mainstreaming their politics to the point where the videos are no longer accurate anymore. Fascists barely even need to use dogwhistles in 2023.
