Turns out, when the elite of society works against their own people to enrich themselves, the (rational) people realize they owe you neither trust or allegiance. Can’t have it both ways.
Nothing wrong with a little competition, amirite?

A literal popular Chinese social media app similar to TikTok that has become the top App store app that TikTok users are defecting to because of the ban, bragging about handing their data to China because they no longer respect the US government, and also bragging they’d literally trust the CCP before they’d trust Zuck, Musk, or Trump.
Reveling in pettiness, yes. But reveling nonetheless. It’s actually a lot of fun and refreshing to see Americans and Chinese intermingling and sharing culture, so I’m sure it’ll be banned too. But it’s going to be fun watching our captured government play whackamole to do what they really banned TikTok for: to control the narrative and domestic spying through Meta and X.
Ive seen people on Reddit complaining about how theyre stupid for giving their data to the CCP and the whole time I was thinking about how Google is scraping all their data for Gemini… lol
When the Nordic countries launch good social media platforms, I’ll defect to them. In the meantime, if you’re on social media that isn’t instanced like this, you’re on social media spawned under the umbrella of a corrupt empire with blood on its hands.
No reason not to play one off the other. No reason to have any allegiance to any of them. If anything, I think the peasants of two countries that are supposed to be “adversaries” talking to each other and realizing we’re fundamentally more the same than different as is happening on Rednote can only be a positive thing.
Truly Up vs. Down. Laborers vs elite. That transcends borders.
I agree with you. I only view Reddit through redlib so I dont have an account or anything. I only have accounts on federated foss platforms ATM, unless you count github which I submit issues on all the time
For an American living in America, this should be the default position. China does not care what I say about the American government, and if they did, there’s fuckall they can do about it.
They’re letting us talk about Luigi in a positive light, which is objectively more free than it is in the US, where it’s been locked down even on TikTok.
And if that’s a CCP tactic to undermine the US economy, then the enemy of my enemy, our murderous capitalists, is my friend for now. If they want to undermine and cripple our greed class, then our interests are aligned for now, and considering we lost the class war in the 1980s and have been living under class occupation ever since with our neoliberals and republicans playing good cop/bad cop defending our sociopath economy from the people as they stoke social division, amplifying wedges to keep us divided, we need all the help we can get.
