  • Religious books are not banned. There are millions of christians in China. There are millions of Muslims in China. Reducing hours of video game playing could greatly assist with insane amount of hours that come with game addiction. It probably needs workshopped more but I personally think this change in coordination with providing youth with solid after school programs and activities would be good for long-term health and well being. That TikTok thing is BS. People in China watch just as much brainrot on douyin. Winnie the Pooh is beloved by people in China. Literally go around for five minutes and you'll see his face plastered on shirts bags and as stuffed animals. As for the companies, this is good if true. Fuck companies doing whatever they want and hurting people. I hope they continue to have significant government oversight.

    Xinjiang is a more complex situation but if you look into it all accusations of genocide come from one source, Adrian Zens. He's a CIA asset who claims god revealed to him that it's his mission to destroy China. I'm gonna listen to the Muslim countries (and the UN) that came and inspected the region and said nah it's chill.

    Have you ever talked to someone from there? I have and just asking them about this shit is really useful for learning that 80 percent of this stuff is untrue, and 20 percent is misconstrued.

    That's the thing, if a lie is a big as the ones you present here, everyone would know. Yet here we are and the average person from china will complain about a lot of things but never the things you brought up here.

    Other people have tried gum and not had it help them. I find it pretty helpful for me so far. I'm now two weeks in and I only chew 2 pieces a day now. Only have it when smelling others' cigarette smoke triggers my cravings. Overall, I'm gonna try to quit the gum by the end of next week.

    I will note that I seem to have way easier of a time with nicotine withdrawal than other people I've talked to.



  • Before I was born I couldn't conceive of existence nor will I regret it after I'm gone. The idea that because I was ripped from the ether contrasted with the fact that I will one day return, doesn't bring peace to me. I exist and for as long as I do the end of my existence will wrench my gut and bitter my tongue. I hate death and I resent my inevitable march towards it.












  • As someone who was raised religiously I completely disagree with you here. Stripping away people's religion may be difficult or an untenable position for building a worker's movement, as such it needs to be handled delicately. However, because of religion and religious activities related to I have deeply onset psychological issues related to seeing myself and engaging with others.

    I didn't engage with natural exploration in adolescence due to my Christianity, and natural desires and impulses caused extreme psychological distress for me. Furthermore, the conception of original sin being passed down into every child from birth can be and was damaging to young children's self esteem.

    The idea that you have something fundamentally wrong with you that you can only get rid through unresponsive prayers is psychologically traumatizing.

    Live and let live is not the answer and if you talk to the apostates who leave these religions you'd find many similar attitudes.

    That being said, the chauvinistic tendencies listed above that spawn from many reactionary atheist in the West is additionally harmful, if not more so.
