I just talk like that. Is it so hard to believe that there are plenty of Americans who would flock to a genuinely chinese owned social media out of spite or just bc it is funny? I haven’t even seen an ad on the site so I don’t think they are making enough money to astroturf nor can I find a reason why they’d want to.
Nah, I am on xiaohongshu. Its fucking crazy. Most of the mandarin speaking audience woke up to their app filled with english. There is a running joke on the site now about US citizens “colonizing” the app. It is silly and in good fun but I cannot stress enough how real the influx of users is. Some brits are even moving there because so many Americans they follow did. I have seen multiple chinese citizens have their account jump from a few hundred followers to 30k in an hour or two. I mean you can hop on and see for yourself, it is free. It has actually been really wholesome so far and I hope the vibes continue to be good.
Bonus points for ancient books with some long dead person’s annotations. Those are my favorite
I use weed way more than I should
Yeah the leaders of the most powerful country in the world are just “slacking off” 💀
Our lives aren’t their priority
I was referring to the whole “improve the conditions of the working class” messaging that no American president actually follows through with in good faith. Have you really not noticed this?
You have every right to be worried, the American empire is in decline and its ruling class is becoming increasingly fascist. This is reflected in public and online discourse and you have clearly taken notice. I would note though that what you see on FOX news is not followed by much of the younger generations. This is not to say that reactionaries do not exist amongst our youth, they certainly do and they have a fervor to them as well. They simply follow more contemporary fascist like Shapiro, Peterson, Fuentes, and billionaires like Musk. As well as manosphere content more often than not.
It is worth noting though that leftist political movements are growing rapidly too. We are at quite the disadvantage though.
Keep paying attention, it will get worse.
Almost like every president in living memory
Dyson sector?
You might be missing the forest for the trees. What I mean to say is that this is a normal thing for her to pass. More so, to champion. She pushed hard for this and was proud of it. Would you?
She still prosecuted them, even if they did not go to jail. She pulled sick and impoverished people into court instead of helping them.
Its just a troll lol, block the comm if it isn’t funny to you
We must live in very different places
Shot my first pistol today, cool af tbh
a truancy law that then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris had personally championed in the state legislature. The law, enacted in January 2011, made it a criminal misdemeanor for parents to allow kids in kindergarten through eighth grade to miss more than 10 percent of school days without a valid excuse
The law was the capstone of Harris’ yearslong campaign to get “tough” on truancy
Harris filed charges against a handful of San Francisco parents whose elementary school-aged children were consistently missing school. A few years later, she persuaded the state legislature to adopt harsher penalties for truancy. Under the new law, the parent or guardian of a young, truant child could face a fine of $2,500 or more — or one year in jail.
Article is long but these are key points. The people prosecuted were poor and sometimes had medical issues they or their kid were struggling with. This did not help.
I am saying this because she is a politician with law experience who can do something about the American incarceral system which is known for its cruelty and excess. Instead she decided to shove low income parents in it because their kids weren’t going school. As if that would solve the problem. Instead she made it her sole purpose to lock people up. You think she doesn’t know what these prisons are like?
Idk what any of that has to do with Harris or the fact that she did and would continue putting people into prisons like this with glee. Get it in your head that democrats (the politicians) aren’t good people. They never were and never will be. They will uphold the status quo because the status quo makes them rich and powerful. Right now, the status quo is incarceral slavery.
Harris would not fix this lmao? She was putting people in prisons like this for years

Cleaning services, can’t think of any reason to bribe them
As someone who is experiencing it as it happens, it feels like the most organic thing I’ve experienced on a social media site. I’m sure that a huge part of why I feel the way I do about it is because I’m being served the content I interact with and I mostly interact with english content. However, I see PLENTY of faces I recognize. I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility to say that many americans responded to the tiktok ban with spite and chose an actual chinese social media bc fuck em.
To be clear though, it isn’t organic. The American government gave it an impetus.
