genzedong has definitely ascended the throne of "local Reddit boogeyman" even if it's not much like CTH was.
I think sino is still higher on the ladder, though. They made an entire sub, r/zino to whine about it. A specter is living rent free in redditors' heads.
I'm not even a dengist but the fact that redditors cry about it so much and act like it's the most dangerous sub out there is just too funny.
Basically how I feel about all China content. I'm not a dengist, but boy do I love how much China pisses off the west lol.
I'll be in a completely unrelated discussion and some dipshit will cry about sino, causing the entire thread to descend into a china bad orgy
They made an entire sub to whine about it.
Its reddit, you could say that about anything lol
"zino" sounds like something /pol/ would call someone for listening to chapo trap house
I've been a member of both Shit Reddit Says and Chapo Trap House, and CTH was def my preferred reddit boogeyman.
r/genzedong are good people (except they don't like anarchists :sadness: )
Yeah they're pretty sectarian. I don't think its helped by the very confrontational scene on reddit from both sides of the left (which I feel like is stirred from the outside a bit) but if anything happens to them we have to make sure they're not going to be sectarian here. I know MLs are kind of a majority here but I really think it's important to have the diversity in tendencies on a site like this. Anarchists are cool af though.
honestly I have no idea. Even the capitalist propaganda against anarchism makes y'all look badass, even if its still a shitty misrepresentation.
The only people who make anarchists look bad are people who proudly wear the label, and do nothing but diss communists and the work that has been done in the 3rd World. Like Vaush!
Y'know, Morons.
v*ush and his "community" and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Yeah I admit a get slightly annoyed with the youtube anarchists that seem to think it's their duty to attack "tankies" rather than deal with threats to the left.
I remember you asking for anarchist reading recs! Calling yourself one now?
yeah I think the actual liberal communities LARPing as anarchists don't help but they will also shit on actual anarchists too. And lumping them all together instead of pointing out that the lib communities aren't really representative of anarchist ideals a lot of the time they just blanket shit on them all
can you blame them though? Every time the imperialist mass media hypes up some anti-PRC topic, the r/anarchist sub gets right on board. I remember obvious yellow peril posts on r/anarchism getting hundreds of upvotes, ffs I even remember a r/the_donald poster getting upvotes for posting an anti-PRC meme.
I mean i frequent r/anarchism and what they described happens like once in two months, it's rare that any anti-China stuff gets more than 10 points there.
Apart from that unlike r/communism, they don't ban MLs on sight and their mods don't fuck with communist spaces like what happened with GenZAnarchist.
I agree that what goes on Reddit is mostly unproductive clout chasing but acting like it's only "anarchists" who do so is pretty dishonest, especially putting GenZedong on a shield in the process.
I don't know, r/anarchism was the one that was mentioned and i only follow that.
It's mostly just dissing anarchists who possess an equal and opposite disrespect for ML achievements/leaders/ideas, rather than substantive arguments against anarchist ideology itself. Not that they don't also dislike anarchism as an ideology, but still.
except they don’t like anarchists
Everyone's got their hangups.
Just slide a copy of The Bread Book into their copy of The Little Red Book and they'll come around.
Not in that site but the underlying API does have that function: https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/comment/search?link_id=hheexx&limit=1000
I could not found a "friendly" interface for it that shows you the comments threaded.
Sick, I found fatpollo's threads about Socialism With Chinese Characteristics.
for real. thankfully i wasn't very opinionated, so not that many dogshit takes, but i still cringed at a lot of comments lol
r/genzedong doesn't have enough anarchist content and infighting. r/CTH was better.
yeah but that's only cuz he would have won :angery:
radlibs fawning over Bernie
an actual movement vs literal teens posting meme content in their secluded echo chamber. They don't have a politics let alone a better one
That's exactly why I don't like genzedong. It feels hostile, sectarian, and generally bad for left unity. I get that you don't like anarchists and any leftist who doesn't like China, but there's a point where a group starts bashing other leftists more than it bashes fascists or lolbertarians, and that's just ridiculous.
It's called GenZedong and it's in support of China. It's not going to be friendly towards online anarchists who by-and-large think China is "evil".
It's a reaction to reddit anarchism, which unironically and frequently says stuff like Tankies being worse than the US or being comparable to nazis.
and as a result, reddit anarchism is pathologically focused on forum-warring with "tankies." the norms of internet fandom are destructive to the hope of an organized left.
oh definitely, there are real sectarian conflicts that go back to socialism's beginnings, but i don't think the evil kronstadt-crushing authcom was ever the fetish object that it is on /r/anarchism
Shocking that finite resources would be strained under an incessant demand for exponential growth.
Anything beyond breadboards with hundereds of transistors sticking out is bourgeois decadence.
sanctions aren't why there is a chip shortage. Demand for computers exploding is more the reason. In any case TSMC of Taiwan, Global Foundries, Intel, and Samsung are the relevant chipmakers
Why is it not called r/genxi? It's more accurate and it's funnier.
The pinyin x is like an English sh but with the tongue a bit further out so that the sound is higher-pitched.
The pinyin j is to the pinyin x what the English ch is to the English sh.
The pinyin q is like the pinyin j but with an airy sound before the next vowel. Like a British person would pronounce cat, cot or potato.
Pinyin sh-zh-ch follows the same pattern as x-j-q but the tongue is pointing upwards and the tip slightly backwards.
Mandarin does not distinguish voiced and unvoiced consonants, they have a hard time learning the difference between the English z and s. So x, j, and zh may be voiced or not depending on the accent of the speaker.

Have you heard of the Shī-shì shí shī shǐ poem? It's somewhat like Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo but it's a whole story.
It was written as a critique of pinyin. The Chinese writing system is used across several languages that are not intelligible with each other, and the poem, when read aloud in Mandarin, only contains the syllable shi in different tones, so it cannot be written as pinyin. It's somewhat decipherable in other Chinese languages that use the same writing system.

Can’t think of a single benefit
Multiple languages can use the same
alphabetlogographic system to mean, roughly, the same thing. Mandarin and Cantonese are not really interintelligible and Wu is not interintelligible, but they use the same writing system.Still, I don't think that's as useful in modern times as it was in centuries past.
I could be thinking of a different part, but I'm pretty sure the main cause is the crypto boom is inflating prices like crazy
