LARPing is huge

LARPing is great.

Cosplay is sort-of LARPing lite, especially at conventions.

If I were swoll and I invested time into learning how to create cosplay pieces from scratch (foam, plastic, paint, et cetera), I'd love to cosplay as the fucking Doomslayer at somewhere like Comic Con.

Definitely, especially for CONS

Remember to install icepack vest, and for arms and legs. I've seen videos of costume wearers in fake power armor dropping unconscious of heat stroke

That just reminds me of the Ace Ventura faux rhino scene.

So, the latest "patriotic song" from China.
tl;dr:

• Black people are "degenerates" and are no better than apes, which is something people on the Left like to deny but we know is a common part of Chinese cultural perceptions
  • Interestingly enough, I can't see any potshots at White populations?
• Pot shots at India because China can't accept that India doesn't put up with their "salami-slicing" territory-invading bullshit, especially in the mountains
• Chinese cultural "pride", which is really their arrogance on display once again, despite having their teeth proverbially smashed in repeatedly over the last two hundred years
• The CCP giving China a country "free from exploitation and oppression", which caused me to openly laugh. Seriously, I laughed
• and finally their celebrating that the recent generations of the Western world (Y and Z) are young, dumb "Reds"/communists

China has the luck that when they go down in flames it looks like the rest of the world will be going down to their internal issues at the same time.

Optymist.I still fear,that they manage to made one big unhappy world gulag cooperating with USA deep state.

Reminds me of the North Korean propaganda music, people already saw Xi shifting the country slowly into that direction since few years.

the problem with that idea is that, the idiological ferver for communism is pretty much dead, they hollowed out their culture and insitutions for the sake of power and now it all feels very hollow. I think its more likely that his attempts to centralize ever more power back fires when shit hits the fan like it has so many times in chinese history.

I don't think NK citizens feel very feverish for communism either, especially over the feeling of hunger and so on. The idea is a show of force by the fact that such ham fisted promotion of the state agenda can be pushed and the citizens can do nothing other than clap or else.

Town votes to oust entire government over Chinese factory plans

TLDR: "Cheers erupted as voters heard the results from the recall election held to vote out the entire town board."

Good. I hate lithium fires. You need to submerge that shit under water or use 40,000 US gallons with firehoses and it sometimes self ignites up to three times. Burning at 2760 degrees Celsius or 5000 Fahrenheit. A normal car fire burns at 950 degrees Celcius or 1500 Fahrenheit.

Lithium fires are a nightmare on par with methanol fires. I'm glad they shut that shit down.

Here's some more economic analysis of China.

And yet somehow they’ve managed to stay afloat longer then expected.

Eh, when it comes to the level of countries...it can take a LONG time for reality to truly set in. This is especially true when that country is as top down as Xi's regime is.

 

[Jormungandr]

And yet somehow they’ve managed to stay afloat longer then expected.

Civil disobidience is on the rise, but they're trying to keep a lid on it.

The COVID lockdowns, the buildings falling down and killing their children, their retirement plans in owned property going poof, crops and water supply failures, knife crime shooting up harder than gun crime in Chicago... people are having enough.

Hilariously, there was even a Halloween street party that had a guy dressed as Xinnie the Poo -- people are becoming brazen.

Intertia is a hell of a drug, and bad establishments often last way longer then you realistically think they should.

That man disappeared the next day.

Don't forget they've polluted 90% of their fresh water sources except for the ones in Tibet. Which are the ultimate source of most of that 90%. It's gotten so bad they started polluting those Tibetan sources 20 years ago. It's not as bad as lowland China but it's getting worse.

Then there was that slip up a few weeks ago where an internal memo about covid deaths possibly exceeding 200 million, got reply all and got online. Those got scrubbed and the senior bureaucrats involved in the message chain "never existed" and neither did their families.

 

[Zyobot]

Hmm…

Maybe once Red China falls, Tibet can reclaim independence and start hounding the PRC's successor for reparations later, yeah? Here in the West, we've got all sorts of minorities demanding reparations for shit that went down 100+ years ago, whereas the Tibetan population alive today (for reasons @AmosTrask named above) have all the reason in the world to demand way more than that.
