{人类良知与正义的灯塔|Rén lèi liáng zhī yǔ zhèngyì de dēng tǎ},

{烈火中永生| liè huǒ zhōngyǒngshēng}!

A beacon of human conscience and justice, immortalised in flames!

Third:

Aaron Bushnell, 1999-2024

"I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force. I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest but, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all." (His final words before screaming "Free Palestine" until the flames consumed him)

太丢脸了。

Like this is deeply embarrassing. Nancy Pelosi kneeling while wearing Kente Cloth levels of embarrassing. It shows OP doesn't have any close Chinese friends and also demonstrates a reddit headline level of understanding of China; Hong Kong is not behind the firewall, HKers can (and often do) post this picture.

As a Chinese person, the mental image of OP smugly posting this to "own the tankies" in the same way MAGA dipshits post "Let's Go Brandon" hoping to own the liberals has given me a near lethal amount of second hand cringe.

Please, for the love of god, never approach a Chinese person with this attitude irl. This is on par with ordering an "Irish Car Bomb" in an Irish pub on St. Patricks day, or saying "grassy-ass" to your Hispanic server instead of "thank you", or trying to use anime Japanese around Japanese people, or code switching to AAVE around black people.

真的?不可思议。

I was informed by western media that HKers didn't want anything to do with us filthy mainlanders.

I wonder how the kids that "fled" to England are enjoying the beautiful British cuisine and the beautiful British weather and the polite British chavs.

They only had 2 fatalities in the Hong Kong colour revolution in 2019. Those are rookie numbers. Chinese cops have barely shot any pet dogs at all! A country in decline

It's an incel term so ridiculous it's spilled over into Normie internet.

Originally, "looksmaxxing" is how they described... Taking care of your physical appearance. Like they needed to coin a term to describe not looking like a slob.

Statusmaxxing, similarly, describes not having a reputation as a standoffish, bitter incel but an approachable, social person.

I love how the op sees one news.com.au article because it mentions Irish in Australia, olmate reads the thing because he assumes it's about other McLeary's in Australia, realises it's not, and starts blaming them for the housing crisis (which is due to white boomers).

When my grandparent's generation purged the entire landlord class, the land was redistributed to the peasants and basically eradicated homelessness in one of the most densely populated developing countries in the 20th century. It helped double the life expectancy and is one of the factors that helped turn China from an agrarian feudal society to a space faring nuclear superpower that has eradicated abject poverty.

Just a thought.

Xi's father was actually purged from the party, and the family was exiled to the countryside to live among the working class. He never finished high school until he was an adult.

Within that context, he went from living in a cave (This is not an exaggeration, he was in a village in Shaanxi, northern China where people live in rooms carved into the side of cliffs and mountains for housing that's cool in summer and easy to insulate in winter. He literally lived in a man made cave) doing manual labour to the president of a global superpower. He's had more experience among the working class than most previous Chinese leadership.
