Ok but they’re actually kind of doing this. 🥺 I’m starting to suspect that Xiaohongshu is the simplest, greatest psy-op of our time. Just get the Americans on the platform, be really nice to us and boom we’re China-pilled.

Get Paxlovid ASAP if you can.

In his defense, many US normies have been very easily China-pilled in a matter of days. (And we love to see it!!!)

I want Xi Jinping running this country WHEN WILL HE LIBERATE US FROM OUR OPPRESSORS?!?!

I don’t, unfortunately! This is the only animal-related podcast I listen to but now that you mention it, a podcast just talking about wild animals being cool would be great.

They’re gonna do what’s best for the Chinese people. Running afoul of the US govt does not benefit Chinese people. Why would they do it? There is a fair amount of risk involved and very little reward.

Luckily pandas are pretty chill, at least

Highly recommend the “Tooth and Claw” podcast. It’s hosted by a bear biologist, Wes Larsen, his brother Jeff Larsen, and their friend Mike Smith.

It’s about animal attacks but they take care not to demonize the animals. So they’re very compelling stories and they also give you practical information about how to avoid being attacked and what to do if you are attacked, plus biology and conservation info and lots of jokes. Pretty sure Wes is a low-key leftist too.

Grizzlies are probably Wes’ favorite animal and he’s worked with them a ton so they are featured prominently on the podcast.

TL;DR: Do not hug this adorable cuddly motherfucker under any circumstances.

This is very similar to an episode of Silicon Valley.

You’re not wrong, but also none of those countries are communist.

After 4 days on XHS, I am pretty much convinced that our own government might even be incentivizing the Chinese government to maintain the Great Firewall. Because they definitely do not want us talking to Chinese people. They’re all already telling us we need land reform. Like our gov must have known what could happen if we started talking to them directly.

Yeah most of them assumed that because we’re a rich country we have a high standard of living, worker protections, a good social safety net, etc. They are shocked to learn how bad it is. Some of them said they cried when they learned that poor people sell their plasma here to buy food. This one guy just keeps making videos about healthcare costs here like “$30,000 for normal hospital birth?!?! How do any Americans afford to have a baby?!?!”
