Ding ding ding. My high school gpa was 2.5 Knowledge is inextricably linked with power, Power/Knowledge. The medical gaze not only observes but creates the conditions of “truths” in our world, in the defining of what's normal, healthy, desirable. From Birth of the Clinic to modern genetics, this clinical gaze shapes how we see bodies, minds, and human value. The sanatorium to concentration camp pipeline in your example shows how “Medical Knowledge”becomes a tool of state control.

I didn’t think China was cool until I visited it in 2017. I was impacted by western propaganda too. Shit ain’t easy.

Salaries, exchange rates, US hegemony in the global financial market, stock market complexity. It’s all esoteric knowledge for majority citizens, in the US and the world. It’s only recently in millennial and gen z cultural upbringing that it’s cool to talk about what we make and how much we make. Before 2010 it’s very taboo, no politics, no money, sex talks. You know, the important parts of an inform citizenr. No financial literacy = easier to manipulate. All intentional.

The world is a game of geopolitical tension where the two super powers plays with all the countries at their little pieces in this game of domination. One has a colonizer mentality, the other has a Mandate of Heaven mentality. Both are problematic. One has a lot more power over the ruling class of billionaire elites, the other sucks Elon and Zuck’s tiny 3 inch porta potty.

The Chinese government censors at the top down level, the US government censors at the soft local level. Talk about unions? Naw fam.

It’s wise to understand the rules before going into a new world. Much like how we need to know wtf is going on with Meta’s moderation system and why my account is still suspended. Also like how we have to see the annoyance in the moderation that’s on X. Or when posting about 🍇 on majority of the platforms while not getting shadow banned. Or about how so much sexual harassment of women’s comments are always left alone while the mods be like no to racial critiques of white dumbassery.

Doenjang is the best dipping sauce for me

At this point I’d rather just have the CCP moderation for all.

Yeah f the Chinese government but sure. Corporate interest in undefined moderations. All good. Christ.

Cracker 🍇 SA Is4ael Pal35tin3 For fuck sakes my main account got banned for calling out Elon’s Transphobia. This is the type of double speak Americans have to do on the corporate run accounts.

Much anti-Chinese sentiment stemming from the left's white savior mentality has really made me question whether I, as a yellow dude in the states, even belong. The moment they see my face, totalitarianism becomes my defining feature: before my US citizenship, before my English fluency, before my actual politics, before my western philosophical learnings. The left's inability to separate Chinese people from the Chinese state exposes how, even in progressive spaces, my humanity comes 2nd.

Irony of an American Chinese saying they are afraid of Trump deporting them for using a Chinese app, in the US. For freedom of expression, try posting about unions in the corporations that are very much anti corporate. Instead of it being in the state level it’s at the corporate level. Both countries are heavily problematic,as shown by the govs attempt on BOTH sides trying to shut down Gen z voices in the US through TikTok, and the consideration of soft ip blocks from China state side.

Building on this brilliant take,thanks @gruber There will be some form of soft ip ban in the coming weeks. It won’t be overt, as that would rattle the Chinese users, in China, and even the Chinese government needs to be subtle about it too.

Not only the naive part, but also, it's such a logical fallacy to call straight to the gutter of topics that only builds borders between ideas, and ignores all the nuances of a phenomena. It's exactly what we don't need during an unprecedented moment of people-to-people connection. Reducing every China-related discussion to a checklist of political talking points is exactly how you prevent actual understanding.1/2

Found a mismatched column in the table my boss created in the database, and I was like wait a min, it’s missing an identity column. As ancient Asian proverb goes, one fix now will fix a thousand mistakes in the next 12 month.

Corporate moderation versus regulatory moderation. Same subjegation, diff abstractions.

The connection is made not through ideology but through cat and dog memes. Made me tear up. In Chinese lingo speak, there are a lot of poetic expressions of everyday phrases that are used to add a layer of intellectual formalism, used as a method of showing how cultured you are, but also, to show your respect for a topic. The way she phrased it, sounds very much like thought-leader style speaking style (not the problematic kind, the ideal kind).

One of the biggest surprises Western newcomers encounter on RedNote is how LGBTQ expression isn’t absent, but far more understated. Instead of overt Pride flags or viral advocacy videos, you’ll see discreet emojis, coded language, subtle photo captions that signal queer identity within the platform’s cultural norms. Their language game, it just means people have adapted to “soft” censorship by mastering nuance and careful self-expression. Lotsa double speak.

Translating racism isn't easy - translation itself isn't easy. There are multiple layers of cultural context, historical influence, and linguistic nuance that make direct translations tricky af. Not dismissing what the poster experienced, because yeah, racism exists there too. 1/

The conversation between trans people in Chinese social media is complex af, a lot more than what many white saviors would like to believe. Look at these screenshots. Chinese netizens discussing 112 different gender identities, breaking down concepts like gender fluidity (流性) and agender (无性别). This isn't some one-dimensional suppression narrative - it's real people having real discussions about identity and understanding, just like any comment section on Western platforms. 1/n

This is a list of posts that shows that there are trans content on xhs rednote In the world of censorship, you have to pay by their rules of subtlety as resistance. Instead of full blown outcries. This is similar to how businesses are conducted in China and Japan and Korea. We don’t say no, we say sure. Cc: @roxanefutur @ferociouskatie @yilingtheytriarch

Chinese censorship is already scrambling. As predicted. I was thinking 2 weeks but give it a week. Since it’s so unprecedented.

Correct. Their moderation is scramming right now, and it’s very possible in the next week or so there will be a ip quarantine of sorts from the Chinese side to prevent cross cultural mixing, and then slowly open it up again after xhs gets more moderators.

misses key points:Western users were pushed here by their own government's ban, are adapting to Chinese platform rules, and are actively learning from Chinese users. This is more “digital refugee integration” than digital coloniz of rednote since the platform and control remains Chinese. The mutual cultural exchange happening suggests something new: spontaneous cross-cultural community formation outside traditional power structures. It also misses the key point, both parties are Neoliberal

If you have questions about Chinese cultur, from Chinese perspective, ask DeepSeek instead of ChatGPT. It’ll give better results (that are from the Chinese side)

There are anti Chinese anti Americans on all sides, but even if 30 percent of both sides are doodoo, 60 percent of both sides can see the lights of humanity in both sides. People are nice. Typically.

Yes, Western users are hilariously naive about RedNote's censorship and coded language. But consider this: 700k clueless Westerners flooding the space creates unprecedented opportunities for Chinese digital resistance practices to evolve. This chaos of cultural mixing -> new gaps in censorship -> more sophisticated coded language -> real-time exposure to unfiltered Western thoughts before content gets caught. Sometimes it’s through sheer volume of cross-cultural chaos. So. Browse on.

What I’m very optimistic about, is that, it doesn’t matter what either government parties do, the flood gates are already open and millions of Americans are already getting counter propoganda brainwashed. They’re already creating communities and doing group chats with Chinese netizens, of whom are very open to the international public.

6.08 MILLION HASHTAGS for TIKTOKREFUGEE. CHINESE USERS ARE SEEING AMERICA for who Americans are, before moderation can come in. Holy. Shit. Balls.

This may be one of the most significant unintended reversals of propaganda in the history of US-China relations. 70 years of carefully constructed narratives - from Cold War-era anti-communist messaging, to the implementation of the Great Firewall, to "yellow peril" racism, to recent COVID-19 xenophobia - are being rapidly challenged through direct peer-to-peer interactions on RedNote. All due to a lesser Douyin Clone of TikTok ban that the US government wanted. Win.

Correct.

Unprecedented mixing of cultural zeigeist. There are 170 million, TikTok users or half the population of the US, even 1 percent migrating to RedNote, would turned this into the largest western zeigeist import within a Chinese digital third space ever. Even 700k has been an unprecedented amount. Ever.

My hope for those who is willing to fight censorship in China is, DO join RedNote, spark community connections with the LGBTQ+++++ group in China, and then fight from there. The reason I’m dismissive is because a lot of people are tired of fighting, but if you have that spirit of rebellion, for fuck sakes, JOIN, and produce resistance from the INSIDE of China. Make friends, make lgbtq+ friends in China. Form communities!!! (Very much an ideal overreach but, a hope)

Please don’t go on Red Note if you’re operating on the TQ+ side of the LGBTQ+ RedNote is dope for the first three letters but any more and you won’t be able to say much. I’m not being dismissive, the Chinese government is.

Irony: The phrase Red Note directly translates to Little Red Book, the same little red book that Mao had his famous dictions and ideologies. This went so 180 that it went full circle - from a communist manifesto to a capitalist haven of luxury goods and lifestyle content, all while still operating under Chinese state control. Peak dialectics.

Holy wow. Internet scholars. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Lmao. Are we witnessing the first time a public space in the Chinese digital sphere is being essentially infiltrated by Western minds? This is unprecedented, and we must observe. For the first time, this large amount of Western content is being created and uploaded into the Chinese digital public square - a third space. Obviously there are plenty of western users in the Chinese digital space, but at this scale? I doubt.

They unposted it Yall know this is China right? You’re no longer playing by US rules. You cannot make super political posts. You can’t talk much about LGBTQ+ Post videos of death and destruction in Palestine. It’s fucked, but in the coming weeks we will see cultural clashes in very unique ways. Little red book wants money, and thus happy to allow new users, but the Chinese gov doesn’t fuck around. So, for human rights issues, little red book, will be Mao’s Little Red Book.

biopolitics—the form of rule that has both supplanted and merged with sovereignty in our time—but rather the core aspect of that practice. As Foucault famously describes it, “The right of sovereignty was the right to take life and let live. And then this new [biopolitical] right is established: the right to make live and let die.” 1 To “make live” involves the control of human bodies and lives right down to the most minute and intimate details: “the ratio of births to deaths Race and Biopolitic

Then again, that’s because I’m no longer in that space of stickers. But I do think there was a period of startup culture, that being an affiliated with a company - whether in spirit - or employment, that was a thing. There is also a lot more tablet usage now in schools I’ve noticed. Anyways, stickers, like tattoos.

Impossible. Ugly people are not real, they’re only characters allowed. Lmao. “Design an unconventional person with exaggerated features that blend humor and uniqueness. Give them an asymmetrical face with an oversized nose, one eye slightly larger than the other, uneven teeth, and wild, unkempt hair. Dress them in mismatched, eccentric clothing, such as a polka-dot shirt and striped pants. The expression should radiate confidence and charm despite their quirky appearance”

This!! The category of "woman" emerged through interlocking systems of knowledge: medical discourse pathologized female bodies as inherently "hysterical," legal frameworks denied women property rights and autonomy, and social institutions reinforced women's roles as primarily reproductiv. They naturalized gender differences while obscuring their constructed nature.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Sourcing Madness and Civ.

The more I am able to understand more difficult text, and the more I read of difficult text, the more I understand their point of trying to not get pinned down. A very good example of this is InfinitenJest, where DFW literally set literary traps for you to fall into, particularly of over interpretations. There are more than one type of difficulty. Each text you read is a journey, in theory, on world building, in lessons, in deconstruction, in reconstruction.

What’s really fucked is that there is a huge hatred from both the gay/lesbian side and the heterosexual side for bisexuals. They’re often seen as “indecisive” or “greedy,” when in reality, their orientation is just as valid. This double stigma creates unnecessary isolation within and outside queer spaces. The Big Other, is strong in here and highly problematic. Cc: @kalimariamoon

Can someone smarter than me and is fluent in Japanese cultural analysis to tell me why there are so many unique mundane drama books in Japanese literature. There is this magical realism element to it, as though you’re living in between a land of magic and everyday, much like, I feel like, how it’s heavily impacted by their cultural Shinto religion. Similar to pre Mao China where spirituality and culture coexist. also reminds me of the liminal space that Japanese media heavily portrays: 間

My biggest and only important complaint about FF16 is the lack of control for the other characters. But as a Devil May Cry fan, this game is fun and very relaxing.

In programming we have hello world. In 3d modeling they have donuts. In 2000s graphic card test we have Crysis. In Old Asian Boomer buying a new call, they have to check the car pipe for black particles. In ai generated videos, we have Will Smith.

This was me from 2007 to 2015. Holiday rushes were so busy. I now miss it a little bit. Taught me chit chat skills, taught me arithmetic, taught me Spanish, supply chain management, delivery navigation, credit card number management. Most importantly, it taught me how power operates in everyday interactions, from kitchen dynamics to customer relationships. Service work isn't just tasks, it's complex networks of human adaptation.
