It is no laughing matter. DC politicians have catapulted an actual Chinese app for mandarin users, with Chinese words on the logo, to the second most popular app on the appstore!

So after Tiktok, they will ban Xiaoghongshu? :eek:

Which just further proves that they are an authoritarian government?

"We have a major, major, major generational problem."

It would’ve happened with or without TikTok/PRC. Imagine being told that everything is vibecession for three years while you barely scrape by with six fig salaries. That does things to people. At this point I think this is a pretty accurate representation of what most Americans think of boomers.


2:26 mark if you don’t enjoy Nic Cage freakouts.

Have you noticed that the AfD has gotten bigger and more popular in recent years?

Has it occurred to you that the AfD may get even more popular and won more seats in the Bundestag in years to come?

Whether you like the AfD or not, you cannot deny that analogous allegedly extremist and/or formerly fringe parties and candidates have grown in popularity across the West in recent years.

There's a trend here, my man . . .
Were you aware that since Federal Republic of Germany was established no political party ever managed to win absolute majority ?

Did you notice that AfD is being avoided like the plague by rest of the mainstream parties ?

AfD won the regional election in Thuringia last year, but CDU, SPD and BSW joined forces to prevent AfD from governing. The fact complete opposites like CDU and BSW were willing to work together should tell you how determined everyone is to keep AfD from power.
If you are able to recognize and willing to consider such scenarios, then even if you consider these scenarios unlikely, they were nonetheless still plausible enough for you to think of!

Some of us might just consider these scenarios more plausible than others. Might just have to be something for us to agree to disagree on.
Scenarios I listed are only theoretically possible but not plausible at all.

If this XHS refugee wave does happen this would result in something much worse than Tiktok dominating - this would cement the thought in people's head that China is the gold standard for social media globally. Instead of Yan'an being the red capital if you actually wipe out Yan'an you force the red army to scatter to every corner of the land and now you have even less of a chance to wipe them all out and before long 泥腿子 would spring up everywhere.
