I can only speak as my experience as an American, but how do they not have ANY self awareness? They aggressively defend the status quo in the most embarrassing ways possible. White pmc-types frequently appropriate the language and culture of black women in a way that is painful to witness.

They are almost universally smug and assume everyone else is dumb and uneducated.

Why is this? I assume some of this has to do with the fact that American conservatives give them such a low bar to compete against. Americans are probably the most overconfident people on the planet.

It seems like they all are just trying to emulate an Aaron Sorkin character. Is this common in other parts of the world?

    Is it true that Chinese liberalism is about hating being Chinese and sucking up to the West, or is that an exaggeration?

      I would say that is true. I am a white male foreigner in China, and at the risk of being called a sexpat, i date women. (I’m human, i’m not too young and i want something serious) You know what i hate? Female Chinese liberals sucking up to the west who hate China, yet theyre the ones who primarily want to date me. I usually end up arguing with with them, many of them havent even been to the west, and the ones who did only experienced a relaxed life as a student. I can spot them easily now, i mean literally, they dress differently and use western style makeup, plus they prefer to talk english more than chinese, some of them even forget chinese! They hate China, they complain about China, but ultimately, every time, it comes down to them having a poor relationship with their parents and family, which they unknowingly project onto China itself. They will begrudgingly admit that their lives are really easy and convenient in China, but then still complain about some vague lack of freedom, despite them doing everything they want to do… Their parents made them study a degree they didnt like, so they blame the Chinese government. That’s liberal brainwashing i guess.

      I have switched from Tinder to Tantan because tinder is all westernised people while the latter is basically chinese culture only so maybe i can actually find a nice commie girl.

        Not surprising, probably trying to use you to get to the West. Though I’m sure they’d be begging to go back when they realize the declining state of affairs here, if they aren’t masochistic.

        Hollywood is a complete lie.

          That’s the funny thing, actually no, most of them don’t really want to leave China, at least not permanently, even they deep down know its pretty fucking good. It isnt a greencard situation, they have great and privileged lives in China, they’re just walking doublethink.

          I suppose you could try to imagine an American woman whose obsessed with Korea and wants a Korean guy and talks about how shit America is compared to Korea, buut actually has an easy life and doesnt really want to settle in Korea.

        Sorry, I hope this doesn’t come off as weird or anything. Have you ever consider to find other girl to date instead? I mean China have a big problem with men more than women, around 34 millions. Unless you have an Asian fetish or something, which I hope not, I won’t judge. Why don’t you date a girl of another race? I am sure there is girls from foreign country live there or something. Also unless you are staying in China forever, and have a permanent resident. Maybe once you get a chance to get out of China, you can date a girls outside. Also foreign girls that aren’t from China but are there; I think they will be pretty pro CCP since they actually take the effort to live there. That just my take, I hope it doesn’t come off as weird or anything. It just that Asian guys been facing with a dating problem for a while already. Since Hollywood propaganda and that kind of stuff…

          I have absolutely no desire to date a western liberal girl in China and a non-liberal western woman in China is the rarest thing in the world. I am planning on staying in China, i also have no desire to return back to the west and experience fascism and probably get drafted into some crappy war or shot against a wall for being a commie. I dont need a chance to get out of China, it took me over a year to get in. Trust me bro, most foreigners in China are not pro CCP, they live in weird little bubbles judging everybody while enjoying the benefits of the country, i think i despise them more than liberals back home sometimes. If i tell them i moved here for ideological reasons, they act like i am insane. They told me to not use chinese media but then they use CNN and other western media. They told me you cant say VPN on wechat, i’ve been saying it on wechat for 6 years and nothing fucking happens. There’s a larger psychology at play regarding how they manage to live in a great country while thinking its shit, a form of self denial mental protectionism, but that’s another post. Anyway i cant stand them, male or female. The other non-western foreigners here are generally better, but theyre so rare, especially post-covid, so its probably going to have to be a local.

          I plan to settle here and have a family. I know there is a gender imbalance, but feel free to go for a western woman here if you can handle their liberal brainwashing, we can do a swap.

              I guess if you can find one who has a genuine interest in China and show her more of it you could work up a relationship, don’t be needy or insecure, and don’t be chauvnistic or judgemental, western women generally think all non-western men are sexist and will be looking out for anything like that. Try going to some museums or hiking, etc. If they’ve moved to China they’re typically the adventurous sort so dont make a boring date.

      A lot of them are like that … they are absolutely fixated on Murikkka as ‘God’s chosen country’ and everything they do is good while their own motherland is shit in their eyes. There had even been university professors that have advocated for removing their entire nuclear arsenal to “win the favour of the Americans”.

      There were even some of these fucks praising the ‘God’s chosen country’ in the early 2010s and prior on TV. Thankfully many of those have been disgraced and shamed nowadays.

      Even better is their hypocrisy, like that Fang Fang who became famous for shitting on the government’s response to Covid. She posted on her social media page saying “we should allow differing opinions” and then immediately blocked anyone daring to call her out lmao.
