The world is going more and more towards 1984 book ideas. It was a warning, not a manual (like the author said).
Same with Idiocracy. Welp.
imagine the size of an ego you need to even think of this
I guess if you are surrounded only by yes-sayers for too long, something like that may happen.
Mao won the Revolution, Deng figured out how to actually lift people out of poverty, Xi....
???
That's because Deng had humility.
Xi has foreign bank accounts, which is apparently better.
Oh, bother.
Lmao, what a weird way to worm your way into kids heads. Fuckin psycho Xinny
I'm sure he already forces everyone to like his shitposts and reply to him in the group chat, too.
Yea, I had to read thoughts of some guy called Jeesus. At last if didn't look like Winnie the Pooh.
Imagine it's not about politics or economics; it's just random shit he thinks each day:
"Damn, I really want to scratch myself with his Fork"
"Hehe that man looks like a Frog"
"I really really need to fart right now."
"I know this gives me mad gas, but I really want that pork chop"
"I bet I could throw that Kid like a Football"

It sounds like the random shit streamers have to say to provide content for hours lol.
"Hey chat, it's your boy, Xi."
Is it a TV show with a big yellow bear?
Can you imagine the shit storm “Kamala’s Thoughts” would rain.
And on the other side, Donald Trump owns a social network, and yet no shit storm.
How the fuck did ethics become so asymmetric?
Whataboutism? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with the linked article, there has been a lot of, say, 'not too positive' reports about Trump's social network.
Well my comment was a response to the comment above, not to the article, and in the context of "Kamala's Thoughts" it is relevant.
ravhall's point is good, that if a Democrat tried to share their ideology this way the response would be overwhelmingly negative. But on the other hand, we have "Truth Social" which might as well be labeled "Trump's Thoughts" because he uses it as his personal soapbox. Political candidates owning social media companies should be illegal.
Sounds familiar. Does he have a little red book he gives them all to read?
Absolutely.
We do the same thing here in kindergarten. Teacher reads. Whinnie the Pooh.
The Little Book of Toilet Paper.
Xi Jinping should be beheaded 💆♂️
Too clean, impale him via anus.
Soon, Chinese leader dump contemplation. -1000 social credit if not liked
All these cunts think alike.
Modi had Monkey Bath, sorry, Mann Ki Baat.
I mean at this point anything goes. You know that if you have a layover in Hong Kong, they changed the law to be able to arrest you at the airport if you expressed dissident thought anytime in the past?
They all but destroyed free expression if it criticizes government. Just another t1 mainland city now. And with it, the outflux of FDI, because there is no confidence in cult of personality leaders who are also conniving.
So they’re teaching kids how to get slave labour by “reeducating” an ethnic minority?
Geez, who ever saw this coming since two decades ago?
Assuming this is sarcasm, I’m fine with being reminded of the CCP’s continuing disregard for international law, basic law of HK, and their pissing all over the joint declaration. Whether or not we saw it coming, its bad for the people of HK, China and the world. And it hasn't been two decades since the regression got underway with this current clique of psychopaths anyway. Things were somewhat optimistic 10 years ago on both sides of the border. There were concerns, but the agreed arrangement which they've now torn up in order to turn HK into a dystopia, was working. Unfortunately positive human development is incompatible with insecure authoritarians. All of these developments are sad.
I see in this thumbnail that Xi is also talking about Trumps crowd size.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
