The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

    Now you can choose between a platform owned by the far-right and a platform owned by the far-left.

    EDIT: Lemmy being Lemmy. Gonna say it again. FUUUUUCK COMMUNISM. FUCK IT ALL THE WAY UP ITS ASS. FUCK ALL COMMUNISTS. DEMOCRACY FOR THE FUCKING WIN. Move to China and see how much they actually love you. I’ll read your story in an article like this: https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/american-family-moved-russia-seeking-better-life-got-drawn-war-ukraine-rcna220463

    Every time one of you “Mamdani is right-wing” communist cunts downvotes me and presumably has their blood pressure spike to dangerous levels I reward myself with a cookie.

      What far-left? It’s an authoritarian-run capitalist state with better social safety nets than the US, doesn’t make it far-left.

        better social safety nets

        Given the horrifying dashcam footage, that doesn’t seem to keep some of their citizens on cars or trucks from plowing into other cars or people.

          The social credit system thing was largely just US propaganda. It was tested it one city and abandoned. China has a credit score system just like most major economies, but from what I understand, the US system has far more restrictions on citizen’s actions based on the credit system than China does. Theirs only impacts lending, ours can impact housing and employment (though I think this practice is on the out and banned in many states).

            The US system sounds more like a social credit system tbh.

              Eh, not in the way that the propagandists and subsequent memes describe it, but I get the impression it affects more of the basics of daily life than the Chinese system.
