@karayuki_san_@HQuarterma43504 Orthodox are a tiny minority of book nerds. Most people who live their lives normally venerate Buddha and the Daoist gods too.
It's obvious that journey to the west is just pro India propaganda. Someone just compiled the Xuanzang folk tales into an "India as Atlantis" thing.
@karayuki_san_@HQuarterma43504 The distinction between secular and religious is a western brainworm. Your doctrinaire distinction between Buddhist teachings and Daoist teachings is also not something most Chinese people take seriously.
@karayuki_san_@HQuarterma43504 Wukong is not hanuman but Journey to the West is pro-India propaganda piped into the ears of all Chinese since childhood.
Why don't Zionists just straight appropriate the keffiyeh/shemagh like they did with the falafel and hummus? It would trigger their enemies to absolute nuclear meltdown and it's just an objectively badass look in the desert.
Old Timey America might actually be saved if it launches a Russian-style quagmire land war in Iran with all the conscripts being boomers, blax, browns, etc. with the intention to meat grind them. But no American politician has the vision of a Putin.
@dannyfink1@PollTracker2024@JoshKraushaar Cope, he's not at all pro American working class, he grew up in a far left black/jewish progressive family and wore a keffiyeh in college.

@dave504@colorblindk1d Being in the ghetto makes a protest ghetto, duh. All your pics are from rural white areas. I'm talking about black ghettos, which isn't just "one" negro, it's thousands of negro voters and protesters. Old school Dems would have steamrolled the black ghettos no problems.
@dave504@colorblindk1d Yes it does. It means Dems were willing to trample on the rights of minorities and vulnerable people, eminent domain and seize their property to build infra. Today's Dems are beholden to minorities, look at all the inner city data centers cancelled because of ghetto protests.
@OopsGuess@mandate2049 China is communist. Communism means income redistribution is a fact of life. The entire country and the entire world are feeling economic pressures. And there is no place on earth where small businesses are untroubled. In the long run the only savior for the
@gfodor@AbHomineDeus@kamilkazani When the AGI robots just start spamming infinite consumer goods there won't be any currency needed. Call it UBI or Universal "Infinite" Income, or Star Trek communism, or what have you. The quibble over the terminology will become irrelevant.
