In case there was any doubt that China's great capitalist experiment was over & China is returning to its Maoist roots:
Mr. Xi’s instruction to move to the countryside is equally out of touch with young people, as well as with China’s reality. Last December he told officials “to systematically guide college graduates to rural areas.” On Youth Day a few weeks ago, he responded to a letter by a group of agriculture students who are working in rural areas, commending them for “seeking self-inflicted hardships.” The letter, also published on the front page of People’s Daily, triggered discussions about whether Mr. Xi would start a Maoist-style campaign to send urban youths to the countryside.
Wang, a former advertising executive in Kunming in southwestern China, has been unemployed since December 2021 after the pandemic hit his industry hard. He talked to his parents, both farmers, about moving back to their village and starting a pig farm. He said they were vehemently against the idea. “They said they spent a lot of money on my education so I wouldn’t become a farmer,” he said.
Mr. Xi “talks about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation all the time,” said Steven, who graduated from a top U.K. university with a master’s degree in interactive design and has yet to find a job. “But isn’t the rejuvenation about not everyone engaging in physical labor?”
Out of 13 Chinese graduates from his school, the five who chose to stay in the West have found jobs at Silicon Valley or Wall Street firms. Only three out of the eight who returned to China have secured job offers. Steven moved back to China earlier this year to be closer to his mother. Now after months of fruitless job hunting, he, like almost every young worker I interviewed for this column, sees no future for himself in China.
“My best way out,” he said, “is to persuade my parents to let me run away from China.”
Same overall trend is happening to American college educated youth with regards to unemployment.
Another four more years of Biden and the U.S. will resemble Maoist China.
I pray our GOP primary voters realize the importance of winning 2024 and they actually nominate our most electable candidate which is definitely not Donald Trump.
Does it really matter, when they let rampant voting fraud transpire?
I'm banking on a Democrat 'win'. In order to secure their hundreds of millions of dollars worth of insider trading, they're willing to rip out the throats of their enemies. The swamp creatures have also shown themselves willing to topple a sitting president. If anything, they re-affirmed the suspicion that the FBI/CIA were responsible for previous presidential assassinations.
Yes it still really matters who the GOP nominee is.
Trump losing 2020 doesn't mean that anyone we nominate will automatically lose in 2024.
"Muh insurmountable election fraud" is one of the most annoying things I see from some of our guys on the right. It is a defeatist ideology. The goal is to win despite the obstacles, not resign yourself to losing.
Nominating someone like DeSantis who doesn't repulse educated right of center voters in places like Pheonix, AZ, DFW, Texas, Atlanta, GA or Waukesha, WI would help us greatly in winning past any margin of fraud in key states.
Trump performs absolutely terribly in even traditionally Republican suburbs in swing states.
Dems probably won't even need any mail in ballot shenanigans if Trump is the nominee again in 2024. Trump has also accrued so much more baggage since 2020. "Stop the steal" and J6 has only made many more voters hate him.
Nominating Trump again has the risk of Dems getting a tri-fecta and being able to abolish the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, make DC and Puerto Rico into states and anything else they want.
We must strive to hold at least one branch of government, with DeSantis as the nominee, no fucking way Dems can hope to get a tri-fecta in 2024.
I know if you're on the online right you probably think it doesn't, but unfortunately the real world infuential right has bought the j6 narrative hook line and sinker.
Suburban voters unfortunately still care about it since in the 2022 midterms candidates affiliated or connected with J6 underperformed other candidates by a significant margin in suburban areas.
For evidence of this, look at both J.R. Majewski and Doug Mastriano's underperformance in even right leaning suburbs. Mastriano chartered buses for Trump supporters in PA to attend J6 in D.C. He got clobbered in the suburbs especially since his opponent Josh Shapiro made ads about Mastriano's involvement in J6.
J.R. Majewski attended J6 and his opponent Marcy Kaptur nailed him with ads. He lost by a sizable margin in a seat that was supposed to be a red trending seat.
Besides the J6 baggage, both Mastriano and Majewski were endorsed by Trump, were hardline pro-lifers and often talked about 2020 election being stolen.
Candidates that were hardcore pro-life struggled in the rust belt of WI, PA and MI so Mastriano was certainly hurt a bit by aspect stance on abortion running in PA.
Hardcore pro-lifers generally did well in Ohio so Majewski was probably not hurt by his stance on abortion.
Consider the fact that every GOP secretary of state candidate in a swing state who said the 2020 election was stole lost their race. The AZ, NV, MI and WI GOP SOS candidates all lost. Suburban voters don't like "Stop the Steal" rhetoric.
Constantly saying 2020 was stolen as a candidate and being connected to J6 is clearly not beneficial seeing as GOP candidates who did either or both of these two things in swing states clearly lost.
What do you think the total negative down-votes mean? i believe most here are thoroughly disillusioned with the US and its political system, so hoping a new President might turn the ship around is met with derision in the form of negative votes.
I still hold out some hope, so it's Trump, DeSantis, or RFK Jr. as the last chance, at least in principle.
Imagine if, by crook, Biden is re-elected, as I'm sure many cynics here might predict. What then?
Trump won because he was a good who told the Elites to eat shit.
Trump did not win 2016 by running on his own merits. Trump won because everyone thought that Hillary was loathsome and that Trump was then an unknown quantity.
I was going to say that seeing the Boomer/Gen X "education at all costs" brainwashing at play outside the Anglosphere was weird. Then it occurred to me that it was probably commie propaganda to begin with, so not that weird.
This is one of the reasons I fear a major Chinese civil war is possible.
Tons of disaffected and unemployed Chinese youth, combined with a catastrophic demographic collapse (worse population growth rate than Japan, as bad as Mao's Famine), a completely insane steel and lithium industry that is divorced from reality, and is being propped up by western investment or insane make-work projects, and so on and so forth.
It really looks like there's a good chance the Chinese government could actually collapse from economic pressure, if we weren't desperately trying to remove those pressures and make them look bigger/stronger than they actually are. If the communists do collapse, I'm not sure that China will hold together, and given the history of China, I think we could be looking at a real possibility of a civil war that kills 100 million people, and potentially even spans the globe.
A Chinese civil war would be amazing, not the least reason of which would be that it would show that fighting against a totalitarian technologically powered surveillance state is possible.
It's more likely that within the next 10 years China will fracture due to demographic collapse, though.
lol there's not going to be civil war, an economic collapse maybe. modern Chinese youths are like western counterparts, physically weak and politically uninspired, their form of resistance is called "lie down", basically being passive aggressive non productive members of the society living off their parents' pensions or doing bare minimum part time jobs that pay for their basic survival needs and gacha games. nobody's going to pick up the pitch forks and storm their local landlords. the passion for revolution backed by foreign military supplies just aren't there.
You say there won't be a civil war then you describe a mythical "revolution of the people" which isn't what was suggested. The civil war would be elites vs. other elites, using disaffected youth as pawns wherever possible. The major moves would be fractures in the bureaucracy, and attempts to control breakaway PLA groups.

Did j6 really have an impact outside of DNC circles?
I know if you're on the online right you probably think it doesn't, but unfortunately the real world infuential right has bought the j6 narrative hook line and sinker.
I live in a right leaning suburb in DFW and people here unfortunately believe the narrative fully.
They honestly will not vote for ANY candidate affiliated with J6 or stop the steal. Yes this includes Trump. They won't do it.
Suburban voters unfortunately still care about it since in the 2022 midterms candidates affiliated or connected with J6 underperformed other candidates by a significant margin in suburban areas.
For evidence of this, look at both J.R. Majewski and Doug Mastriano's underperformance in even right leaning suburbs. Mastriano chartered buses for Trump supporters in PA to attend J6 in D.C.

He lost by a sizable margin in a seat that was supposed to be a red trending seat.
Was that really the clincher, though? There wasn't another explanation available?
Besides the J6 baggage, both Mastriano and Majewski were endorsed by Trump, were hardline pro-lifers and often talked about 2020 election being stolen.
Candidates that were hardcore pro-life struggled in the rust belt of WI, PA and MI so Mastriano was certainly hurt a bit by aspect stance on abortion running in PA.

"our most electable"
"Supports a guy with the charisma of moldy wet sponge"
Pick one. Politics is a popularity contest. Obama won being the cool black guy. Trump won because he was a good who told the Elites to eat shit.
The media went crazy trying to ruin Trumps reputation for years and it worked, they elected sleepy Joe.
Sleepy Destankis is a horrible idea. The proles don't give a fuck about his good ideas.
I bet they love his Jew Jerking tho, just like Trump 😵💫

it's thousands of years of sinosphere propaganda, communism attempted to destroy that

And the disaffected youths won't be part of the violent conflicts, they have similar attitude to "let the zogs fight, just leave my waifus alone"
Tell that to the Ukrainian and Russian.
I think that Xi has been fairly effective in purging the disloyal from the ranks of the Chinese government and CCP.
Which is interesting because people in the West say the same thing, hell I've read suggestions of doing such right here on this board.
A friend from China told me once, "how could we rule the world? We're all poor!"
I'll ask one of the crazy, shit covered, hobos in San Francisco why he controls so many carriers.
That's the insane part, it's not rh people it's the people controlling the people that we end up hating.
Yup. That's why I've insisted on saying the following premises:
Most peaceful Chinese civil war.
three gorges can't burst fast enough
also nuke peking
Someone always has to shovel pig shit
Those who went back to the farms will be glad they did when the big cities turn to shit
