CRACKDOWN, CRACKDOWN CRACKDOWN!

Crack down on deez nuts, lmao gottem.

Some gems from the comments:

This is a classic case of why centrally planned economies don’t work. Political ideology takes precedence over efficient markets. It was destined to fail.

But… China’s economy has not failed. Putting the cart a thousand miles before the horse.

It’s also why Putin is willing to throw an entire generation of Russians, including the convicts and addicts at Ukraine. Russia is dead for 40 years because he failed to fulfill his mob boss promise to Xi. China is now clearing farmland in Siberia because the typhoon floods last August and September wiped out the Chinese people’s food storage.

Wake up, babe, new BlueAnon conspiracy just dropped.

Xi’s just not into him or her; only Xi.

Found Elon’s account.

A lot of those, like “cracking down” on NEETs and the gaming industry, would benefit the economy if done successfully.

Liberal infighting… It’s so much more boring than leftist infighting. What will happen to the NEETs when Xi presses the button?

Huh! Hooh! Huh! Hooh! Huh! Hooh!

Because they all want to get rich quick and saw Crypto suddenly shoot up that one time 8 years ago and think it’s their tickets to the good life.

It’s the poor people that want something for nothing, according to them though

Crypto also pushes a lot of libertarian/ancap delusion buttons: code-as-law eliminates the need for human trust and consensus, the network is immune to the meddling of the state; you no longer need banks/middlemen/regulators as we know them. Proof of stake and proof of worth are both basically flavours of “buy your own authority.”

Would not be surprised to see parentheses around some of the nouns in some versions of those arguments.

There is the occasional conceptually interesting thought on the philosophical aspects of money as a social construct, and attempts to solve pain points in financial ecosystems, but it pales in conparison to the speculative shitshow cryoto became.

So far I’ve used it to buy VPN access, Anna’s Archive fast lanes, and temporary real phone numbers, with it. Other then that its been pretty useless.

(Though those three things have been really useful)

might threaten against Xi’s 3rd term

Oh he’s just doing all these cool things because not doing it might be a threat to his 3rd term. Also Americans need to realize that not everybody follows the 2 term, 4 years per term limits.

Xi running for another term: evil authoritarian tankie dictator behaviour, no better than Hitler

Merkel being Chancellor of Germany for 15 years: cool and normal beacon of freedom and democracy

Isn’t Xi Jinping about to hit the maximum age for politicians in China? This is his last term regardless.

The only thing that could threaten Xi’s next term is the obsolescence of the state after achieving full communism

Obligatory

When westerners did it was cool and good leader of democracy and freedom and western values and the forces of light against darkness and the garden vs the “jungle” therefore its only natural we keep electing the same person.

When China does it is just a straight up dictator.

This is an old school one. They use the same “hoardes of desperate Russians” shit to dismiss the Red Army winning WW2

Let me guess, the liberals want to “crack down on NEETs” by removing safety nets and criminalising anyone who refuses to or can’t work?

crackdown on NEETs by giving people educations and restrictions on gaming to prevent addiction and abuse by companies

These attacks on NEET culture will not be tolerated.
