China really did hit us with a cultural revolution by doing literally nothing. Seeing regular people from two geopolitical rivals do something as unprecedented as simply talk to each other is one of the few things giving me hope right now.
it sucks to realize just how many people outside of the USA really genuinely do believe the propaganda that this country spreads. like it affects more than just us- non USAmericans genuinely believe that everyone here is well off, that we all have the freedom to do whatever we want, that we all have the ability to choose what jobs we get, that we all have the ability to make as much money as we want if we just try hard enough.
but it is amazing to see people finally waking up and understanding that is is all propaganda to get people to move here and work until they die. i always felt like Chinese and USAmerican citizens have a lot to bond over. i’m glad we’re finally bridging the cap and just TALKING to one another. this is seriously a good thing. we need to keep this up. uniting Chinese and USAmerican citizens over the unique but heinous struggles we face and educating one another on what actually goes on in each others’ countries can help spark a revolution.
