hostile foreign government
Hostile to who? Hostile to who, motherfucker?
Lmao, US people thinking they are the only ones on the internet once again. At least a lot of users in the post are pushing against the last bullet point stating how CIA coded it is.
Unfortunately a lot of them are doing it by being chauvinistic as fuck by saying that is Tencent owns even a fraction of something then the entire platform automatically becomes an evil SeeSeePee propaganda tool
hostile foreign government
The "left-wing" of white nationalism
"we hate our own government but we will also believe everything they say about its enemies and act in its best interests"
Workers of the World Unite!.. unless they are apart of an adversarial government as defined by our capitalist oligarchs and businessmen, then prepare for war!
A comment in that thread
"hostile foreign government" as opposed to the local government which is very cool and gets along great with you. FFS your own government is 40x more hostile to you than China.
Also wtf is up with conflating China and the "far right"? Is communism the far right? What is going on in Reddit radlib town?
They do the same thing as the right, where their politics is defined by "maximum freedom" and any divergence is a step towards the opposite pole. This is why rightists call Hitler a communist, and why radlibs call Stalin a fascist. They are unreformed libertarians lmao.
Liberals in general believe themselves to be the furthest left you can rationally be. Anything to their left is unreasonable, counterproductive, and functionally right-wing.
It doesn't have to make sense, it just needs to fit their interests (social democracy, the left wing of fascism).
I keep thinking of the Muhammad Ali quote when he refused the draft for the Vietnam War.
No Chinese ever called me tankie
Everything you hear on Rednote is propaganda! Plug your ears and cover your eyes! Don't listen to it!
I know it was a Chinese app for a Chinese audience and that it's essentially been invaded by a bunch of Americans recently, but i swear everyone on there is just bots pretending they're normal people purely to propagandize Americans.
USAians are the most self-centered people in the world 🙄
China created RedNote and filled it with bots who were just interacting with each other for years just on the off chance that Westerners might someday discover it, just like they did with Hexbear.

Yeah, hostile to who? this is sinophobic shit.
Hostile foreign government
Even if the worst predictions about China are true, I can't see what harm China is gonna do to the average redditor in Burgerland.
I've been asking this question to people and have never gotten a response that isn't "muh freedum!"
wants to take your Wendy's away
They're afraid that they'll be sent to the countryside to do actual work
I went to check out that thread, and holy shit do I fucking hate chauvinistic Western anti-China liberals AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And hostile to whom? As a European, I'm subjected to the same bullshit from the US.
The environment, for one.
Several lawmakers said publicly last summer you can search it, pro-Palestinian content was WHY tiktok was being banned — the threat to them is people waking up from WITHIN, and they’re counting on the average U.S. audience’s Sinophobia for people to believe chinas the reason.
Lmfao yes it’s a threat when an algo run by china can affect public opinion in the US, yes.
Yep. Saw quite a few "life as an office worker in china" type videos and more than one showed 2 hour lunch breaks. Not to mention the grocery hauls, explanation about how they're not paying property tax and their home is theirs, cheap luxury cars that far outmatched western ones, etc. Us westerners are learning what life could be like if govt cared about its people.
you fell for the chinese propaganda, hook line and sinker if you think that’s at all representative of the average chinese worker. Please think for yourself, and don’t let a chinese propaganda app do it for you
I think you'd be surprised about how much the user base of red note would agree with this sub. I regularly see Chinese netizen ask why Americans put up with such a broken system, why we haven't revolted. We have been fed a lot of propaganda about the people of China.
They want you to revolt not because we are in solidarity with you, but because it would be easier to beat your ass should one day come to it… not saying that you shouldn’t revolt, but how naive of you to think we actually support you or something lol
I guess being Chinese doesn't prevent you from saying stupid shit
The environment, for one.
THE BLOODY US GOVERNMENT IS AT LEAST 100 TIMES MORE HOSTILE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN CHINA, WHO THE FUCK LET OIL COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH PUSHING CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL PROPAGANDA FOR DECADES?!?!? CHINA IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRODUCERS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND SOLAR TECH WHILE THE STUPID FUCKING COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE US JUST PULLED OUT OF THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
Lmfao yes it’s a threat when an algo run by china can affect public opinion in the US, yes.
The US or affiliated tech companies would never.
Please think for yourself, and don’t let a chinese propaganda app do it for you
I just want to rub their nose in this until they understand the irony here
They want you to revolt not because we are in solidarity with you, but because it would be easier to beat your ass should one day come to it… not saying that you shouldn’t revolt
THE EBIL GOMMINISTS WANT YOU TO DO THE THING THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING ANYWAY OUT OF A PERFIDIOUS YEN FOR YOUR DESTRUCTION
The worst part is that it is representative of the average Chinese worker. There are places where people work long hours and stay in company housing, but that is not at all indicative of the majority of the people. And even then, the people who do those jobs are doing them temporarily (an average of 2-3 years) so they can then afford not to, once they have purchased a home in a smaller city (which is still incredibly modern by U.S. standards). Hell some are doing it to purchase second or third homes as investment properties (which is a bad idea, but hey, at least they can).
You know why we know this? Outside of anecdotal and even verifiable statistical evidence that this is the case, it is because polling shows overwhelming approval for their government.
the enemy of my enemy is my enemy because they aren't white enough for me to trust them
yeah i was rushing over here to see if anyone posted about it.
the entire subreddit is livid about including CPC "propaganda" in this ban
So will it be China who gets the blame for Trump this time?
There have been a few “Trump is obviously bought by China” posts since the primaries. Wouldn’t be surprised if they go with this.
it's amazing how even when they are acknowledging hatred of their own country they still fall for the propoganda that China is evil and must hate them. ahahahaha.
The sinophobia bots are out in full force in the comments descending on anyone questioning the CIA mods lol.
Something something neither Moscow, Beijing nor Washington DC, but always picking and supporting DC.
not even radlib "but Tiannemen square" they're straight up FBI posting lmfao
How do you claim to be on "the left" and have worse politics than normie folks on XHS?
Wasn’t r/antiwork supposed to be the least bad one of all these wannabe labour subs when the whole moderator fiasco happened? And now they’re straight-up calling Xiaohongshu a far-right source.
The fiasco was the hard-end-full-stop-crib-death of antiwork's nascent class-consciousness. If it was ever something (and it felt like it was) It hasn't been anything since.
Fed-ass subreddit
Define "hostile". Information warfare?
Very nationalistic sounding. I didn't think reddit was so obviously for a particular nation.
slaps the top of reddit
"This baby can fit sooo many CIA operatives in it!"
This is just living in a bubble. I guess that's how libs plan to deal with another 4 years of Trump. Brunch 2.0, just shut the windows and doors, batten down the hatches, and pretend everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
even when they were run by a bunch of silly Anarchists (typical online Anarchists), they were very hostile to "tankies", they had no problem with Libs, but will ban "tankies". No wonder it was so easy for libs to take over that sub and turn it into a liberal work reforms. That and one of the anarchist mods doing an interview on Fox news and totally bombing it.
They should ban Reddit-related content too.
thankfully everyone is calling out the china ban. if i wasnt banned from reddit i would be flooding anti work with shit from china out of spite.
