Im not really sure what instance to switch to. Lemmy.zip maybe? I just want to be able to interact with as many people as possible (until I’m banned or blocked ofc).

Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
3. Fully allowed to share that information

Much appreciated comrade.

So honestly? I found the article to be somewhat sound. Despite my own personal gripes with everything bad being described as “deviation from maoism” or “trotskyism” and the rap stuff, I think they articulated their points well enough. I know as a Hoxha stan im supposed to declare ideological warfare with Maoists or some crap like that, but this was okay. Long winded and a bit cringe, but still fine. I’ve not read the other side of this though so maybe everything in this was a huge fabricated lie. I’ll gladly waste hours of my time reading whatever people send me if that is the case.

I’m willing to hear them out, and I’m still reading, but jesus christ:

“Unfortunately for the (New) Communist Party of Canada, their recently published “(N)CPC-CC Reply to the OCR’s ‘Red Salute’” lacks the substance and swagger of those battle rap classics. Politically, it somehow manages to combine the pathetic posturing heard on J. Cole’s Might Delete Later with the unearned arrogance of Drake’s “Family Matters” in a sad attempt to attack the Organization of Communist Revolutionaries and the politics of the journal kites.”

Edit: Oh god the whole article has rap quotes whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Headphone amps: exist

“Maoism is the only true continuation of Marxism leninism!”

“NOOO ITS NOT! HOXHAISM IS!!!”

Audiophile cope in the comments is hilarious. A $30 pair of IEMs plugged into a 7 year old flagship phone is high enough quality that most people won’t want anything crazier the rest of their life. A $150 pair of over ear headphones plugged into a cheap DAC from AliExpress is good enough to achieve full fidelity for anyone.

I can’t wait until one of you nerds tries to tell me you can tell the difference between a flac and a 256kbps AAC file too.

What did you say?

If only this was true. I don’t see any emphasis on masking in any of the big communist parties rn.

At this rate, randos are gonna have to spend hours at a time analyzing if a single meme posted on the internet is AI, just to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Looks good OP.

Shit happens. Plenty of westerners have visited and been fine too.

TY!

To clarify: I have certain expectations that I hold a socialist country to. The best case scenario would be that the DPRK meets all my expectations and is a socialist paradise. I have no belief that the DPRK does or does not meet those expectations.

XHS? Is this some kind of app?

I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can’t trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.

Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don’t live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. 😂
