    This is literally America. I walked outside to do work and thought “maybe I can stream this and finally get money?”

    Black Mirror when chinese stream.

    Normal capitalism when the goal of young people is to live off onlyfans/instagram.

      Stupid leftoid the pinnacle of freedom is actually being societally and economically coerced into showing hole to lecherous men who are safe behind the anonymity of the internet the moment you turn 18 to pay for your parents’ cancer treatment.

      rednote makes me feel sorry for the chinese people who have a background like mine – a degree from a poorly regarded school and career track w frequent layoffs including next to no prospects.

      they have a guaranteed income; food on the table; and roof over their heads and i don’t; but the social pressure to distinguish yourself is so intense that they have the same angst that i do nonetheless.

    I actually kinda like that guy, he’s one of the rare travel vloggers that actually talks to and hangs out with the locals like they’re human and isn’t creepy to the local women but he is unfortunately a lib. Didn’t watch this video maybe it’s slightly more nuanced than the clickbait thumbnail but I doubt it. His previous China videos didn’t boil down to “I am surrounded by evil totalitarianism everywhere I go” for what it’s worth.

    Capitalism is when you choose to stream

    Socialism is when the government makes you stream

    Communism is when no streaming

    White dude with a face that screams “Women do not ever want to be left alone with me” talking about the evils of China and gets huge amounts of views.

    It was a nice little gap in this sort of shit after they stopped doing USAID, but it does seem like they’re starting it up again. At least I no longer associate with the libs I used to know who were comfortable watching white supremacists stop juuuuust short of hurling racial slurs. Might still need to correct some contagious racist brainworms though.
