I can feel storms before they arrive. Like I sense the air change so I'm in tune with things like this. I couldn't sleep for a few days so I spent the time watching videos about China imminently doing things. The same sensation occurred and I could see Chairman Xi out of the corner of my eye, but he was a shadow version of himself.

Xi shot a three pointer playing basketball today and said "wowa that felt good, today I will invade Taiwan." Please pray for them.

I've been watching scooby doo episodes and before they unmask the villain I'm hollering it's Chairman Xi. It hasn't been yet.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

He's the devil.

I do the same thing with the “Who’s that Pokemon” at the end of every episode of Pokemon. So far, it hasn’t been Xi 😢

Had to listen to several of my coworkers discuss China's "empty cities with houses for millions" and tried my hardest not to have a stroke. I desperately wanted them to understand how anything relating to city planning works, but only 1 of them actually pays any attention to the things I say and the other 2 think I'm too young and naive to really understand the world, which is annoying to hear from some of the most privelledged people at my place of employment.

"More houses than people, stupid commies. Don't they know you're supposed to have less houses than people so the people have to fight each other for them and the people who lose don't get a house to motivate everybody."

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Not even the whole "stupid commies have more houses than people" more like half-remembering the stories about the Chinese ghost towns that were popular prior to the neighbourhoods in Chongqing being completed and people actually moving in.

Meanwhile 30 minutes outside of most major cities look like the setting of a fallout game because of the logical conclussions of capitalism.

I visited chicago and there was, at the entrance near the like on-ramps for the highway (off-ramp?) densely packed tents along the road.

the US has more houses than people, what are they talking about.... a lot of them just stand empty so homelessness can be maintained.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Those aren't empty houses they're unrealized investment opportunities.

Unlike the Chinese who lack the ability for forward thinking.

The most famous ghost cities are Pudong (5 million inhabitants), Chenggong (A quarter of a million inhabitants), Ordos City (Between 300000 and 2 million inhabitants depending on how you count it) and the Zhengdong New Area (1 million inhabitants)

I was reading the same dumb ghost city bullshit when I was in high-school, in the 90s. How does shit like this stay alive?

That story was all the rage in the late-00s. The westoid mind cannot comprehend future planning.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

ah, they are too old and indoctrinated to understand new concepts

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

china is about to collapse because of the "lie down" movement where young people choose to not work because they see that the future is hopeless. or something, i dunno, please do not look at the american prison population.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

The only reason American youth don't lie down in far greater numbers is that most of them will fucking starve to death if they ever stop working.

29 Days Until Something Happens

Xi Jinping Terrified! Markets in Turmoil!

Could this change everything? It might!

Crowds in the Streets. Young people in record numbers are saying "Things must change". Social media uproar.

STONKS!!!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I watched this 14 hour video essay about China literally collapsing because all its buildings were made out of jenga blocks to save money. It's that corrupt.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Also, I've been told a few times recently that China is absolutely doomed by declining population growth...so taking any serious interest in their vision for the future is really stupid.

I haven't personally examined any claims about Chinese demographics, so if anyone has any insight, I'm very interested to hear it. In the meantime I'm just assuming it's like all of the other assertions regarding China's forever imminent collapse.

Those are just the tip of the iceberg. The trick is to prime your algorithm for 3 straight days. Then it shows you the real shit.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Is it weird that I legit think there's now a chance that something major actually happens with China in the next couple days now because it would make this post very funny in hindsight?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Xi personally called me today to say he is gonna get groceries

What will China do next smdh

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Why does he need food? What is he plotting?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

I don't know but it has to be something bad, what sort of person goes out and gets groceries?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Sounds like something the devil would do. sicko-satan A real photo of Xi I took today.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

He melted down stalin’s comically large spoon to make a comically large shopping cart so he can take all the food in china

Yeah I thought I could feel a weird electronic change too, but when I sobered up I realised it was just Xi playing a theremin upstairs (he's my neighbour)

I learn new things about China every time I sniff some superglue and watch 10 more videos. Very concerning things.

Lmao, this was almost word for word a comment dropped on a blog I hung out on back in the early 2000s, only the comment was about Obama. And boy oh boy, did this dude take a far right turn in the coming years.🙃
