Pox

I dislike naive disillusioned westerners who have positive views of china, falls for comically obvious propaganda because of their low media literacy, don’t realize they’re being instrumentalized as useful idiots in a geopolitical narrative war(aka falling for psyops). and unconsciously holds the mentality of "If it's broken here, it must be better over there," idealizing the “Other” to fill a void in themselves.

Metaphor Refantazio

I know people that's currently living there and they literally told me that it's bad, stop this uncertainty please, I hate this stupid postmodernist effect

Mao's leadership's consequences, try to find a pattern of these behaviors from Taiwanese people

watch victor gao, watch what he's like

I agree that Chinese ppl are better than us at stem education. when I came from china to the u.s as a kid, the math taught here was leagues behind.

from chat gpt I. External Trauma: The "Century of Humiliation" (1840–1949) What to Discuss: How foreign invasions, imperialism, civil wars, and famine broke China’s societal fabric and fostered a collective obsession with survival, unity, and reclaiming power. Why It Matters: This is the root of the country’s obsession with sovereignty, nationalism, and distrust of external forces. Trauma gave rise to a survival-based ideology—communism—that promised order and equality but was implemented under extreme conditions. Key Focus: The Opium Wars, unequal treaties, and the loss of sovereignty. The fall of the Qing Dynasty and internal fragmentation (warlord era). The Japanese invasion, Nanjing Massacre, and WWII’s lasting scars. II. The Birth of Communist China: Ideology Rooted in Trauma (1949–1976) What to Discuss: How Mao Zedong’s leadership and Marxist-Leninist ideology reflected the need for survival and unity at any cost. The macro-level systems (e.g., the command economy, collectivization) mirrored these survivalist ideals but often led to catastrophe. Why It Matters: This period shaped the CCP’s authoritarianism, disdain for dissent, and its belief in controlling every aspect of life to ensure stability. Key Focus: The Great Leap Forward: How Mao’s vision was shaped by his psychology (idealism, paranoia, and survival instincts) and how it caused mass famine. The Cultural Revolution: A reaction to Mao’s fear of losing power, reflecting deep insecurities born from his childhood and political struggles. The cult of personality around Mao: The psychological need for people to project hope onto a single leader after decades of despair. III. Reform and Opening: Post-Mao Adaptation (1976–1989) What to Discuss: How Deng Xiaoping’s pragmatism moved China away from ideological rigidity and toward economic modernization. Trauma still influenced the CCP’s authoritarian governance, but the shift reflected an adaptation to new survival needs. Why It Matters: This period shows how ideologies evolve to meet changing environments, as you noted. Economic survival replaced ideological purity. Key Focus: The shift from collectivism to controlled capitalism. How the Tiananmen Square Massacre reveals the CCP’s fear of instability, rooted in historical trauma. IV. Contemporary China: Xi Jinping’s Era (2012–2025) What to Discuss: Xi Jinping’s rise reflects both his personal psychology (rooted in his experiences during the Cultural Revolution) and the CCP’s collective obsession with maintaining control. Technology has become a new tool for survival-based governance. Why It Matters: Xi’s leadership represents the modern incarnation of trauma-driven ideology, combining nationalism, authoritarianism, and technocracy. Key Focus: Xi’s personal history: His father’s political downfall, his "sent-down youth" experience during the Cultural Revolution, and how this shaped his worldview. Modern surveillance and social credit systems: Tools for maintaining unity and control, reflecting fear of instability. China’s foreign policy: The Belt and Road Initiative and "wolf warrior diplomacy" as expressions of reclaiming lost sovereignty. V. Micro-Level Exploration: Leaders and Citizens Mao Zedong: His childhood, rise to power, and psychological profile (e.g., his idealism, paranoia, and megalomania). Xi Jinping: His formative experiences, political strategy, and psychology as a “prince” who lived through hardship and learned to navigate an authoritarian system. Citizens: How collective trauma and survival instincts have shaped societal values like filial piety, nationalism, and conformity. The interplay of fear, hope, and pragmatism in modern Chinese society. VI. Meta Analysis: Ideology’s Evolution What to Discuss: The broader philosophical insight that ideologies must adapt to survive. Analyze how the CCP has modified Marxism-Leninism for its survival and how that evolution mirrors human psychological dynamics.

please research the Chinese history that Chinese people in china dont know the existence of, and see how when a nation endures unimaginable suffering, like China during the 1900s, its current state is a reflection of collective and individual trauma, and how it's born of survival, shaped by the biases and traumas of the human mind.

Intelligent? In terms of what? Stem education sure, but how many percent of Chinese people know how their government is manipulating them? How many films do they have that can be deemed as high art? They have a government that blames all economic problems to “foreign influences”, they have an education system that is teaching them toxic nationalism, they have a government that censors social unrest occurrences, mass killings, anything that they think is a risk to “social stability” hell even people holding up a white piece of paper will be “dealt with”. You don’t know how unstable the place is right now. And also I’m Chinese so I have plenty of first and second hand experiences.

You don’t know china, just because you hate the west don’t mean china is better

Exactly🤣 logic is beneath “social stability” in their government’s eyes. It’s ridiculous
