Real question: why is the us so involved with israel?
they’re meant to be a main ally in the middle east for the US
most of the other countries are either allied with Russia/China/Iran/etc or too unstable
there’s also massive israel lobbying in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States
MAID being pushed on poor people, MAID being pushed on veterans asking for mental health
many Canadians will know examples of it being abused
Am I the only one who remembers the Israelis going psycho all over the globe murdering Nazis and creating a shitstir everywhere with the Mossad?
Then there’s the Saudis, the Cubans, the CIA, really, being murderous cunts is not solely reserved for the Russians, if anything it’s just another one of nation state’s favorite pastimes.
ngl i dont remember the mossad one, when was that?
ngl i haven’t actually heard of someone blaming foreigners for their kid’s drug problem before
“You see drugs everywhere and most of the drug addicts are South African rather than foreign nationals. So, what’s happening? Are they feeding our own brothers and sisters so that it can be easy for them to take over?” she says.
That rhetoric sounds familiar but not in a good way

no, that’s not the same thing. “our relationship” does not convey the same emotion that is intended in the chinese word.
? It’s the best way to translate it, some Chinese words don’t have good English translations and vice versa
when women are obligated to cover up, people just accept those governments telling them what to do; have you seen any protests lately about governments in the middle east and asia telling women to cover up?
“Will wearing a suit and tie count? Marxism originated in the West. Would its presence in China also count as hurting national feelings,” one user posted on Chinese Twitter-like platform Weibo.
She cited one case that drew headlines in China last year where a kimono-clad woman was detained in the city of Suzhou and accused of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” because she had worn the Japanese garment. The incident sparked outrage across Chinese social media.
“To wear a kimono is to hurt the feelings of the Chinese nation, to eat Japanese food is to jeopardise its spirit? When did the feelings and spirit of the time-tested Chinese nation become so fragile?” wrote one popular social commentator online, who writes under the pen name Wang Wusi.

In 2019, during further moves on censorship, China blurred out the earlobes of some of its young male pop stars in television and internet appearances to hide their piercings. Tattoos and men’s ponytails have also previously been blurred from screens.
Someone i know who works higher up in walmart said something like 50-60% of their workers were FWP
For those wondering, “Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people” is an actual phrase (伤害中国人民的感情) it started all the way back in the late 50s.
this last part “感情 ganqing” translated as “feelings” or “emotional attachment”, it’s actually an important part of chinese culture, esp business culture (similar to this is “guanxi” which is someone’s network). These are major parts of chinese culture and relationships with others. this phrase is more like “you’re hurting our relationship”
hong kong’s govt is just a ccp lapdog
could get 2 of them done for the price of one?
are you aware that a lot of the world wasn’t stable even without western countries intervening? have you read any history book from any part of the world outside of the EU and North America?
the fact that there’s so much illegal migration to the west is partly the responsibility of our own countries and policies
They are focusing on the next generation, you can see in the museum they rewrote the history and they bring all the school children there
Cantonese is already difficult to learn without being immersed so they are just so happy about the loss of language
Many people have left HK, so far the only people I know who are left there are people who have to stay because they work in business, everyone else emigrated to the UK or North America
racist and fascist shit going on in Italy
This, frankly, is a consequence of the illegal immigration/migration (whatever you want to call it) from the last decade into europe and the impact its had on society
You can read about china and the belt road initiative and its influence around the world, you can read about China and what it’s doing around the South China Sea (tangentially the impacts on south east asia)
You can read about Chinese business principles such as guanxi and something called the bamboo network which is the term for overseas Chinese network
You can also read about china and their investment in mexico to surpass us tariffs
They will openly say this and still the US does nothing to stop it
