Thanks for all the suggestions! I’ll definitely take a look at some of these.

To be frank I don’t think the state cares about them. They’re like weeds in a garden and they hold no political power whatsoever outside of the internet, and they’re still generally laughingstocks there. Given how hard moderation is with the sheer volume of content, the CPC mostly worries about more important things.

I guess I must be hanging around the right parts of town lmao, I personally haven’t seen much Japan apologia or Manchu restorationism, which I guess I can chalk up to the election cycle at the time and seeing mostly backlash.

Only for a few months lol, since I had no good vpn and was stuck browsing Chinese media for better or worse (lemmygrad traffic is a bit too slow for my taste). But yeah, I do spend most of my time on reddit and especially youtube, so I’ve seen… things.

Not really coherent enough as a worldview/ideology for the tierlist, but I would lump it in with conservative westhating.

commiespammer slopmaxxing era has just begun, comrade.

Yeah, my experience being limited to bilibili has kinda narrowed the scope of this tierlist. There seems to be a tendency online to overcorrect for the unapologetic bootlicking that was going on decades back, but frankly I’m just glad they’re being obnoxious in person where I can’t see or hear from them, ever.

I would argue that that’s still ‘basic biology’, given that most of the time when people learn about this stuff for the first time the ‘central dogma’ is taught in a package, and that it doesn’t go over things such as ribozymes and regulatory stuff. In any case, DNA essentialism is still stupid, since it’s disproved in numerous ways even without involving sex and gender (the elephant in the room being tissue differentiation)

Actually yeah that’s a much better way to put it. For some reason I was thinking about classification of plant parts when I wrote that reply, no idea what I was on.

I’ve always wondered how they don’t find it awkward that they’re essentially professional haters to a group of people who literally couldn’t want to do less with them.

Eh, I would argue that sex is more like an arbitrary classification than a spectrum, but other wise I completely agree with what you’re saying. And even in schools, at least from my experience, they don’t teach you about gender and sex being the same thing, they only teach you about sexual characteristics and what they do. So all their arguments were essentially completely pulled out of their asses. Gender itself actually isn’t discussed very much in any of the biology textbooks I own, probably because it’s more psychology-adjacent. We don’t really touch anything more complex than reflexes lol

Australia and britain is crazy

The chromosome thing is so stupid since chromosomal males developing as female is literally a documented thing, and it’s not even that rare. How fucking stupid do you have to be to eat this shit up

(joke stolen from youtube)14saveyerup88 is typing…

the CPC was pressured against the wall and forced to use the rare earth ban for leverage.

That’s a… pretty interesting claim, since at this stage China and the US are basically on equal footing, and we’ve already seen that China has done ample preparing for a potential trade war, with them basically being unaffected. If any side is the desperate one, it’s the US.

what a pathetic loser who only bombs countries that won’t send bombs back. It’s telling they never drop bombs on Russia or China despite all the posturing.

Inaccurate, little bro would not get in the helicopter because ‘where’s the battle bus!’

research sounding like tobacco and alcohol is something I have never seen a single Chinese person ever point out, nor have I ever noticed. The intonations are basically polar opposites too, so I have no clue what this loser is getting at.

5 stages is quite a bold claim since I’ve never seen westerners grappling with anything other than denial.

Here! An updoot for you, wholesome internet stranger!
