Is it just me?
    #26870079 - 08/08/20 01:07 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Or has anyone else noticed the link between China money and "wokeness"?

Intersectionality stuff, anti capitalism, etc. in media/entertainment, politics and academia that's been funded by China, of course.

Like how there's been US socialist proffesors getting money from the CCP. Or how the NBA, that never criticises anything about them canceled a custom jersey feature because people were putting things like #FreeHongKong on them. Or how Hollywood has race swapped historically Tibetan characters in movies or censored tibetan or thaiwanese flags in movies. Or the CCP using BLM quotes. Or how Democrats are seemingly weaponizing a Chinese originated virus by having people arrested for reopening while they complain about how bad the economy is. I even heard of a woman being arrested for working from home selling crafts on her own website. Lots of examples really.

I had to look up intersectionality. Who thinks about that shit at all? Sounds like something out of a philosophy class that is meaningless to anyone who isn’t currently enrolled in a liberal arts college. Real people don’t use words like that. Why do you?

As for Hollywood and the NBA not offending Chinese’s censors... that’s capitalism dude. China is a huge market and they want to have access to it. Hollywood censors shit all the time to make sure their movies are available to as large of a market as possible. What do you think the rating system is? Producers do what the censors tell them to do so they can get that PG rating.

The virus isn’t a political issue. It’s a public health issue and trump is being crtiticized because the country has failed miserably to deal with it. You should take issue with the republicans running the states where the virus is out of control. Those are the places where the economy has ground to a halt. Most of the blue states are doing fairly well now.

South Park did an entire episode on how Hollywood, Disney, etc... suck China's dick now. It was about censorship, basically. Ironically, China banned (censored) the show after the episode aired. :lol:

Celebrities and script writers in Hollywood as well as big companies say what China wants and censor their scripts for movies for China because that Chinese dollar is just too good to pass up. So basically all of, "woke" Hollywood panders to the Chinese.

You're not wrong.

Heh. You're not wrong either, but the money is bigger and the censorship greater regarding China right now.

:lol: the Republican leader of the senate and arguably the most powerful member of our congress has swimming pools full of chinese money. His chinese wife's (who is a member of Trump's cabinet) family is heavily connected to the CCP in China and have given them personally tens of millions of dollars as 'gifts', and that's just what's been done publicly

When an IG was appointed to investigate the connection, Trump fired them and replaced them with someone endorsed by McConnell, the person who the IG would be investigating.

I don't think there is a causal relationship between China money and wokeness. I think there is a boatload of China money at play here, and some portion of it is reflecting wokeness.

But people who are foreigners or immigrants do have an interest in the host country being tolerant, so maybe there is something to it. 

Also, since I'm old maybe somebody can explain is there an actual difference between wokeness and political correctness? I'm confused about bluetooth too. The dealership just gave me a loaner car and it doesn't have a cd player. Hopefully there will be Dummies books for this.

I hate bluetooth.  gimme an aux port that I can plug into and I'm happy.  Wokeness and political correctness are basically the same thing except that, ostensibly, woke people try to do something about society's ills while politically correct people just worry about the nicest way to say things that might be offensive.  That's my take anyway and it may be a distinction without substance

Sometimes my wife’s car will just connect to my  phone automatically and start playing the last thing I was watching  . It only does it when the last thing I was watching is porn though .

I like intersectionality. It's a reminds me of grad school word. But yeah, meaningless to anyone who isn't, etc.

On your last paragraph, I read an article that talked about the 10 states with the highest per capita covid deathrates. It was all redneck country plus Texas and Arizona (who are borderline redneck) and included all the original states of the confederacy.
