      Worse, it’s part of a myth that if someone living in China ever reads about or becomes aware of the grievances in that copypasta, the government will send a goon squad to disappear that person immediately.

      Which I always found just the perfect distillation of liberal ideology: China is bad for being a repressive police state, and so we’ll use that to ruin the lives of random Chinese people

      I was kind of aware of the subtext of it all. But obviously I had no context for like which gov or group used these bizarre formats 😅.

      Ngl I love and hate it. It’s beyond overwhelming. I’m just over here like ahh yes all this shit I didn’t hear about 😓
