Don’t be sorry for Andrew Tate coming here, femicide and sex trafficking (often of minors, often by their own families) is a big issue and probably why Tate decided to come here.

Besides the point, I get your idea, and I think western media has a direct interest in painting China in a bad light, it’s an ideology war: the post-Thatcher, post-Reagan small state, deregulation by all means, vs a state capitalist model that is starting to have big soft power around the world.

I do think China engages in the same kind of game, but because most of the world doesn’t speak Mandarin yet, this isn’t as broadly seen. I think of the yearly “Reports on Human Rights abuses in the US” by Xinhua, or the aunties going “美國完蛋了” endlessly on their Kuaishou pages lol

No I don’t think I do. My bad

Bro no one cares about Romania because we’re not worthy of anyone’s attention, genuinely, we’re like a tiny speck of dust in the global economy or geopolitics, don’t give me this “manufacture consent” talk.

I do think that China gets portrayed unfairly negatively in western media sometime, but look at our society that thinks Nazis were cool because the Hitler or Mussolini edit some 14 yo did on Tiktok. People need reminders of the horrors of the past, not just the rosey state approved calls to a “period of former glory”

Both Putin and Trump (through his ideologists) are diametrically opposed to European liberalism

Because “muh EU holding citizens of member states as hostages to WOKE”

I mean… the EU itself is doing half their job by using all their political capital on inane shit like Chat Control, instead of using all available political capital for federalisation and strengthening ties with China

Every year before the Christmas holidays, Romanian TV channels show many images, videos and testimonies from the Romanian revolution, where the military fired into, and killed many civilians. We’re not afraid to grapple with our history, even 36 years later.
