When we speak of Chinese leaders, why do we only mention Mao, Deng, and Xi?

There's videos going around of Hu being removed from the summit as he's talking with Xi. They claim it's because he voiced objections to Xi taking a 3rd term or something? I generally support Xi and the direction the CPC has been going but idk much about Hu and what he did. My "China bad" deprogramming only started a few years ago and I haven't really read much about the CPC before Xi yet.

I don't trust anything the western media says for obvious reasons. I do however trust your all's insight into these matters. I'm just bad at finding sources on this stuff that is outside of the western sphere of influence.

Edit: Fixed CCP ➡️ CPC

The American Air Force is fucking shit lmao

Libs crying like they trying to refill all the aquifers Nestle drained.

Saw on r/sino. Wanted to share. Seems pretty awesome. Obviously would have to be toned down for human passengers uses. For automated uses though that acceleration would be bonkers. Rocket level momentums with no actual combustion fuels. Maybe those futuristic space slingshot things we see in some media. Long ass ramp that shoots a craft straight up then this uses it's engines to maintain momentum instead of wasting half it's fuel just getting off the ground?

Sigh

CW: Pedophilia

Y'all see this?

I've only watched a clip. The chemistry comment was utterly fucking deranged and disturbing. I've heard that the full context of the tirade was pertaining to how sex trafficking from Venezuela was a problem. Unsurprisingly the only people calling for muh context are fascist Bolsonaro stans. Even with the full context of the statement,

1. What the fuck was that chemistry comment, Bolsonaro? You have sexual chemistry with literal children?
2. If you just so happened to stumble across a child sex trafficking ring, why didn't you report it? Why only bring it up as a rhetorical policy recommendation or whatever in an interview?

I'm curious to see how this impacts his support, if it will. We saw with Milo Yiannopolis that fascists will often tolerate many vile things but pedophilia apologia is still a line many of them refuse to cross, thankfully. Hopefully this helps further tank his support.

I don't know what to say

Your teachers weren’t gaslighting you, stop using that word when you mean lying.

Wikipedia may have sited sources but those sources can, and have been, incorrect many times. Misleading information is still prevalent on the site. So even if you steal the sources Wikipedia uses in their articles you better dig deeper because that shit is nefarious. Wikipedia is not immune to western propaganda. They pick and choose what info to put out there from the sources knowing most, like OP, won’t read deeper into anything they site. You’ll just take their word for it.

Scrolling through twitter feeds and every time something about the war comes up I keep see these accounts with similar profile pictures: meme dog wearing army clothing. It’s the same dog but different clothes. All these accounts had the same hyper pro-Ukraine tweets and spreading the dehumanization of Russians.

There is a lot of blatant and explicit depravity being posted about this war and people are following it enthusiastically. It looks like more 4chan shit but “normal” people are getting in on it. Fascism does grow slowly and now those who thought they’d never fall for something so insidious are playing right into their hands.

Do people not remember that one of the tactics fascists use is scapegoating and justifying the violence against certain people. There’s also the supremacy and glorifying of the military. How many posts about have we seen about Zelensky supposedly on the front lines and people paying to have their names on bombs thrown at Russians. Now I’m seeing more and more people not only hating Putin (which, okay, I’m not fond of him either) but demonizing the Russian population as a whole.

I do wonder what the moderates and libs will say if shit starts to really hit the fan. “How could this happen? We had no idea! I can’t believe it’s happening again!”

You’d think more would’ve learned. I’m really hoping it doesn’t get to that point; third times a charm, I guess…

The only thing I know about Lukashenko is whatever was in John Oliver’s piece on him; so absolutely nothing. If y’all can help me out on that I’d be grateful.

Anyway, just saw this on twitter and thought it was very sus.

"Chinese Communist Party Congress set to anoint Xi as president for life"

If you read past the headline, the article goes on to say "We can be almost certain that Xi, as the Communist Party's general secretary, will be appointed for another five-year term," and "Technically speaking, since the term limit has been removed, he can stay in power for life, [although] that may require some formal ceremonies after five years."

Apparently, a theoretical 5 year term that they aren't even completely sure will happen means for life, and "technically speaking, he can" means he will do so.

A bunch of people in my school discord were shaming me for wearing a mask, and when I argued about it they said I was just ugly and wanted to hide it and also that covid was just a cold. The worst part is that one of them was a comrade.

I feel like I can't trust anyone I know anymore, just a few close friends.

Can I add myself to the Victims of Communism list?

I was thinking about that point that people bring up about military spending with the US and Im getting suspicious that the actual money spent on the US military is a mirage suggesting a capability that far far surpasses the capabilities of the next 10 near peers of the USA.

Something just doesnt add up.

The US has spent trillions on its military yet NATO and the US is having a tough time making the fight against Russia trivial.

If the money spent is any indication of capability; then it follows that besting Russia in Ukraine should be trivial. But that is not the case.

You see... I can understand designing weapons in order to kill and win wars which Im sure that is the principles of Russian and Chinese philosophy in warfare.

But what if the US is doing that... But also allowing the profit motive to have a say? Im starting to think that the USA is blowing money on overvalued systems that are AT BEST, MAYBE a tiny bit more effective than the oppositions' weapons.

It aint like Ukraine was short of capable fighters with covert NATO training and backing.

For all the trillions spent on NATO; Ukraine should have settled this conflict months ago. Ukraine should have defeated the Donbas rebellion before it could even find its footing.

For real though. What the fuck? Is the west genuinely a paper tiger in the most real sense?

Consider also colonial projects like Isntreal. With all their backing from the US; they havent managed to just bulldoze Palestine into the phantom realm. They STILL have to put in effort.

It's just very strange... The realities don't match up with the money or the talk.

The only way it makes sense is if the west develops weapons for profit first and foremost, which doesnt always mean the highest quality.
