and had to be reminded to sit
:shrug-outta-hecks: idk maybe he was really just senile.
Hu reading the agenda while thinking it's 1970
“What the hell is he saying! That’s revisionism! Pure revisionism! Worse than revisionism! Has he gone off his head? I hope Mao hasn’t gotten wind of this yet, or there’ll be hell to pay. Tell XI I want to see him in my office TODAY at 4:00 pm SHARP. And he better have a good explanation for this garbage!”
(I'm maybe being a bit edgy here, Hu Jintao is an old comrade who's done more for Communism than many of us ever will and deserves our respect.)
For anyone who hasn't read this before:
Molotov, who was cared for by his grandchildren, was watching TV one day when Soviet Foreign Minister, Edvard Shevardnadze came on the news making some statement. Molotov rose from chair in a rage, shouting “What the hell is he saying! That’s revisionism! Pure revisionism! Worse than revisionism! Has he gone off his head? I hope Stalin hasn’t gotten wind of this yet, or there’ll be hell to pay. Tell Shevardnadze I want to see him in my office TODAY at 4:00 pm SHARP. And he better have a good explanation for this garbage!”
When they heard the shouting, his grandchildren rushed into the room and tried to calm him, saying “Grandpa relax! It’s just the news. You’re not Foreign Minister anymore. It’s 1986. Stalin’s been dead for 30 years.” Molotov calmed down and muttered “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just got so worked up. My memory isn’t all it used to be anymore.”
However, later that afternoon, at about 3:45, his grandchildren saw that the old man had put on a suit and was busy knotting his tie. His grandchildren laughed and asked “Grandpa, are you thinking of going somewhere/” Molotov replied “Go somewhere? I wish I could go somewhere! I’m getting ready for Shevardnadze. I should put in a call to Stalin and let know that I’ll handle this.”
96 years old and still fighting revisionism
I feel he understood how to respond perfectly well.
:stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2:
I too think the grandkids should have just handed him the service pistol opened the front door, and let everything sort itself out.
"And now Edvard is done with his speech, we thank him for his time and- oh my god is that Molotov with a steel chair?!"
"don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1986, Molotov threw Gorbachev off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."
Molotov rose from chair in a rage, shouting “What the hell is he saying! That’s revisionism! Pure revisionism! Worse than revisionism! Has he gone off his head? I hope Stalin hasn’t gotten wind of this yet, or there’ll be hell to pay. Tell Shevardnadze I want to see him in my office TODAY at 4:00 pm SHARP. And he better have a good explanation for this garbage!”
If I ever suffer from cognitive decline, I want to go like this.
Westerners have been gaslit so much by all the Brandon "it's just a stutter" stuff that they've forgotten about the existence of age-related cognitive decline :good-morning:
Is that really a “reminder to sit”, to me just looks like a standard “please take a seat” gesture lol.
fair lol, i said it because of the way Hu Jintao looked around just before that
This is so obviously dementia if you've ever spent time around people with dementia.
But no, it must be an evil plot by Neo-Mao God Emperor Xi Jinping to silence all critics in the party :xi-god-emperor:
Western cope and seethe is unbelievable.
He's known to be fairly senile. He's being treated with about as much dignity as anyone can be while also being in the public spotlight.
Senior Citizen With Dementia MANHANDELED into Empoohrah Xi's Conference of EVIL and FORCED to Vote for GENOCIDEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Falls on ground foaming
smh my head none of them wearing masks when everyone behind them is
Remember AOC at the gala in New York City? The servants were all wearing masks; none of the elite guests were.
kinda weird to compare leaders of the CPC to the amerikan bourgeois. especially when considering CPC policy on covid has been extremely successful at limiting the spread
I think it looks bad to have high officials unmasked in the same room as others who are masking, it's not like Xi has special virus proof lungs
I see that but they are also the public faces of the government in a highly televised important date. 100 years out!!!
They are spacing out appropriately from one another and if they do get sick, they can contain it quickly since theyre fucking china.
smh autocrat Xi Jinping forced him to come and sit the whole congress beside him and them had him taken away
Imagine being 80 years old and needing to take a piss, and it becomes international news
just having rudimentary knowledge of china can keep you from making so many embarrassing mistakes. if it was Jiang Zemin, sure, get fucked Bozo. Hu Jintao is not far from Xi. Both are part of what westerners constructed as the "Tsinghua clique", whereas Jiang is in the "Shanghai Clique", and that's enough to say "Actually, before I go defense mode fo rthe CPC, Let's wait and see because actually there's a good chance nothing in this story actually happened"
