Chinese person: exists
Burgerbrain: Do you condemn the CCP?
They didn't even say they were a Chinese national. There are plenty of native Chinese speakers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and many other countries.
shitting on the USA to friends and acquaintances is my favorite part of living abroad
just once I want an American to be able to tell me what fucking freedom they have that's so great and that other countries don't have
From talking to libs it's unironically shit like being able to say you don't like the president. That's it. That's the grand, all-important freedom they're willing to support the slavery and subjugation of the world for. You can bet that anyone who says this has never been gassed or beaten by cops at a protest, because they've never meaningfully opposed the status quo.
Jester's privilege is the ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished; for nothing he says seems to matter.
Ffs you can't even say you don't like the president too hard or you'll get a knock on your door
freedom from knowledge. burgerlanders can live a life with a level of certainty that only comes with ignorance.
I think subconsciously it is literally the freedom to subjugate others to enrich yourself. That's the freedom that got them where they are anyways.
'yes': oh my god, he admit it
'no': they can't even say they aren't free
I've seen plenty of absolute dinguses reply "Slava Ukraini!" to random, innocuous Russian language comments on Youtube
"Yes what a beautiful dog I would give him 10 kilograms of doctor's sausage"
SLAVA UKRAINI!!!!My favorite part is when the Chinese person actually responds and it’s something like “my life isn’t perfect but I don’t hate living here and the government is okay” and the westoid will foam at the mouth and accuse him of being a shill bot or brainwashed
I'm asking this of every American that I speak to
95% chance this cracker is studying Japanese and feels strongly that Japan should abandon Kanji and Hiragana for Romaji.
They should do something with the written language cause it's a mess. It feels like it's convoluted to the point that it's deliberate.
I came from learning Mandarin and felt glad they went through simplification of hanzi - learning it is hard, but at least every character has one pronunciation (excluding tone changes, 行, and 了, but they're really predictable). Learning that that's not the case with Japanese kanji (Onyomi and Kunyomi) was confounding.
Seems like every other language that had adopted the Chinese writing system in the past went through some kind of simplification for the sake of promoting literacy - Korean, Vietnamese, and even Chinese itself. Japanese seems to want it every which way - keep the traditional characters, incorporate both native Japanese and Chinese pronunciations of them, and add in three different phonetic writing systems. No, I'm totally not mad about it.
The coexistence of Kanji and Hiragana is already the result of simplification. If you look at a Japanese document from the 1880s or whatever, it's almost all Kanji because every single word theoretically has a Kanji. At some point it was decided that it was too hard to teach everyone so many kanji so some words were allowed to be written in hiragana instead.
Less kanji being taught has also resulted in some very weird bullshit. For example, dermatologist is 皮膚科 (hi fu ka) but the middle Kanji appears not to be in common usage so often it'll be written as 皮フ科 with a katakana Fu instead.
So idk if you really want to ask Japan to simplify again, they kind of have a cursed monkey paw approach to it.
Last week I was at a Chinese New Year dumpling wrapping party and witnessed a half ethnically Chinese burgerlander ask 2 Chinese burgerlanders unprompted what their families think about taiwan. the brain rot runs deep.
