the great firewall isn't there to protect Chinese people, it's there so the internet isn't flooded with western malding about constantly getting owned

    It's going to be hilarious if one day the firewall comes down and the entire net switches to Chinese poster's control like someone just built a cultural wonder in civ.

    I mean, take that population size, and assuming this is an example of their powerful but not necessarily MOST powerful posters and yeah. The rest of the internet would be taken by fucking storm! The sheer posting power and constant ownage will finally overwhelm the Western Internet and force the it's citizens to finally finally touch grass. And they will find fighting the real fight offline easier than the fake fight online. They will find their landlord can't post better or really do anything better, their employers can be hanged and stopped from clapping back as hard as the Chinese posters can. Then....then we will see the sun rise for the first time in generations.

    Hell yeah. They do have one of the fastest growing vegan movements in cities. Half the Chinese ramens I buy in borgerland have gone vegan in the past few years.

    I'm imagining an alternate timeline now, wherein Texas and Hong Kong seceded at the same time, and Hong Kong is just immediately annexed by Texas because Britain didn't want them and Texas was a good enough second choice for Imperial Daddy. Hong Kong is reabsorbed back into China and Texas back into the USA within about a month tops, the incident fades into obscurity, and within two decades history YouTubers make videos presenting Texan Hong Kong as a zany did-you-know

    The worst part of this timeline is YouTube still existing in 20 years.

    YouTube still existing in 20 years

    By that point you'll need a minimum 64-core CPU, 2TB of QDR16 RAM, 5gb/s fiber downlink, four instances of Google™ TrustedWeb™ ChromeNext™ running in parallel to compile and execute the 1.2GB of tracking and adserving javascript in realtime, and at least one 3D capable 8k webcam cryptographically paired with your GoogleAds™ PartnerInnovationsAI™ account to guarantee the Sponsors (praise be upon them) receive unfaltering eye contact and attention (note: blink detection will still be buggy and you may occasionally be blocked from all internet access as determined by the AI for bot-like behavior, the technology to ensure better accuracy just isn't there yet).

    It’s also about the HK protest that had a nativist characteristic against mainlanders but westerners seem to think it’s all about freedom and democracy. These are just using western rhetorics against themselves

    no but it's cool that Texas is flirting with secession and civil war

    If that civil war does happen, then the real international community gets undyne-joy a nice little treat, and it'll be like 1917 again

    Reducing US the reach of US hegemony? Yeah, that's probably a benefit for a lot of people (supposing that other powers don't just fill the power vacuum just to continue exploitation - "new boss, same as the old boss").

    Suffering and death of millions of vulnerable people and non-combatants? Not so great.

    Do have to apreciate the great snark/turnabout though, even if I don't agree.

    not sure if you read mandarin or not but i'm a complete beginner so bear with me:

    when describing the us, why do they not use 美国?

    Could you point out where you're talking about that?

    The only two instances of the US being said is

    美国

    美国政府

    Which is America and American government respectively

    方, meaning direction. In this instance 美方 meaning "the American Side". Similarly, 甲方、乙方 are used in legal documents meaning Party A and Party B.
