good lord

Imagine being Ben Garrison right now. Imagine how horrifying it must be to think someone like this is out there.

TBH it would be pretty useful to label absolutely everything in this image

[–] TC_209@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, I think I got it. It's about a very specific guy: a Chinese expat living in France (beret(?), bottle of wine(?)) who is very angry about China opening itself to western markets (Nixon, Deng) and is posting about it by pretending to be an African man who smugly denies modern China's role in assisting with the economic development of some African nations.

I... think...?

I can't even begin to imagine what's going on here, but I know there were some declassified recordings and we know that:

racismNixon compared Indian women to Black women and said, “I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.”
.

Also I'm pretty sure at some point Nixon and Kissinger (of course) tried to get China to pressure India over the Indo-Pakistan war.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

This seems much more plausible than my silly attempt. Didn't even consider the India aspect of it.

That still makes no sense

it's a yellow guy (not being racist that cartoon is literally yellow) wearing a dark skinned mask

Angry indian dude pretending to be a black dude who's not angry, to Nixon, while deng? looks down on them from heaven.

I don't know what it means either

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah but that guy isn't Indian lol
I think it's supposed to be a Chinese chud, but also I've never seen a Chinese person who looked like that

Guys there's literally PragerU videos on Weibo. Just because he's Chinese doesn't mean he's a comrade. This is literally just a 4Chan meme from some self-hating Chinese guy living in England.

[–] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

counterpoint: watching new scientific research that pushes the frontiers of philosophy, anthropology, and sociology emerge in the comment section is really funny

This meme is truly one of the greatest conundrums of the 21st century, and we may never truly know what was meant by it.

American exports

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

I'll take a stab at it.

So first, this is pro-Deng seemingly. Working from that premise, I think it is making fun of ultras having to play it cool for Nixon so Deng's plan could work properly, and how they were actually super upset about it and drinking? a lot?. The dark skin mask is also showing that part of the plan was to play to Nixon's racism, he just sees easy to exploit cheap non-white labor.

I dunno, I guess that will be my head cannon until I discover otherwise.

Yay, my ancestors did something useful ^.^

Sorry! It's from 2010

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A black faced yellow skin wojack. Is that Nixon? Don't know who the pepe thought sun guy is. Is this comentary on the west outsourcing their labor to China/Asia and Asian cope as new conent slaves of western capitalism? Alcohol as a coping mechanism. Don't know what the hat is. Could be completely off base here.

Ok so from what I gather, someone is doing online Blackface and Nixon is involved for some reason.......WHAT?

So I think this is anti-Deng. I think the guy behind the mask represents ordinary Chinese workers. The face of the mask is dark because I think it’s intended to show Nixon eyeing China like it’s a new slave plantation for the US.

Attempting to extract meaning from this is a great vegan alternative to ::: spoiler CW: animal abuse
