To Mods: I feel like this is not “political enough” for political memes… so… um… …

    I would also put Chinese infrastructure and build quality in the middle too. While you do see a lot of cool shit they are building, you see a lot of there shit fall over because of a lite breeze.

        English is three languages in a trench coat mugging other languages for more words. That’s why it’s so fucky, also there have been attempts to reform the language but outside of the Webster Oxford split most of the time it’s only effected a word or two resulting in weirdnes like with solder/sodder/soder which are all ways of saying and spelling the same fucking word.

        It’s frankly a miracle nearly every dialect is intelligible with eachother if folks slow down their speech, though mines so fucken scuffed it breaks speech to text.

      There’s nothing particularly special about our language or food other than both being an amalgamation and bastardization of other cultures.

      Disagree on the first panel, us cuisine is hundreds of years in making. Chinese food has been in development for many millenia! It’s goooood

      How did they stalk you? I had some wackos trying to publicly shame me for having down voted them (didn’t work as they expected I guess) or mention something about other comments on other communities.

      It’s weird, but not unheard of, or a uniquely tankie trait. They are more usually using puppet accounts.

          It’s a pretty good idea to set down a new persona for every social media account - build a life like writing a story, condense it into like 6 sentences and read through it before you comment. Throws stalkers for a loop and it’s fun imagining them tear their hair out trying to figure out who you are.

    As someone from the PRC myself, I can share the following experience with you:

    雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
    天地一片苍茫
    一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
    只为伊人飘香
    爱我所爱 无怨无悔
    此情长留心间
    雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
    天地一片苍茫
    一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
    只为伊人飘香
    爱我所爱 无怨无悔
    此情长留心间

    • 老师,我只读了二年级,这词这么深,我怎看懂?😭

      But okay I’ll give it a try…

      So I had to look up dictionaries…

      雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
      天地一片苍茫
      一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
      只为伊人飘香
      爱我所爱 无怨无悔
      此情长留心间

      爱我所爱 无怨无悔

      So… is this basically telling me to just accept myself and let go of grievances?

      雪花飘飘 北风萧萧

      Is 北风 referring to 北京? Like the harsh cold weather and alluding to the politics? Like the winds of politics pushing things away?

      天地一片苍茫

      the world is so big, you can go anywhere?

      一剪寒梅 傲立雪中

      一剪 meaning the relationship being cut off? (like change of citizenship?) 傲立雪中 Meaning to be brave and stand in the “snow of uncertainty”?

      只为伊人飘香

      (continuing from above line) bravely live on for yourself?

      此情长留心间

      what is the 情? like the attachment to heritage? the attachment forever being in your heart even when the relationship is cut off? like the love for food and stuff even when you dislike your toxic relationships that which you acquired the taste for the food?

      I probably just projected a lot of my feeling on to those words and my interpretation is probably all wrong lol.

      Also, why is the same lines repeated?

      Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls, The world is a vast expanse of white, A lone plum blossom stands proudly in the snow, Its fragrance is offered only for her. I love what I love, without regret, This love will forever remain in my heart.

      Is this translation correct? If so, I don’t understand how this poetry is related; unless it’s all a metaphor that’s subtext for some kind of political message.

        They’re not racist. They’re sinophobic /sarcasm

        And being pro-ukraine is russophobia, don’t forget that /s

        And being anti-Trump is ‘Trump derrangement syndrome’ /s
