It hasn't escaped my notice that some here think Mongols should re-invade China, that the panda isn't a Chinese animal, that China needs to be broken up.
I KNOW you'll NEVER say SHIT about imperialist Japan because you love their culture. No one ever speaks about the atrocities Japan committed.

Having to be a Chinese-American whose country of birth is hated, whose adopted country is also hated and is itself consumed by centuries-long hatreds, whose atheism makes me part of one of the most hated demographics, whose asexuality is misunderstood and, yes, hated...
How can I NOT hate myself?

Blocking me for disagreement over a provable fact—Genghis Khan was a cruel, bloodthirsty imperialist brute with a vast empire—is part of the reason why I'm fucking leaving this place.
In what way are his descendants a threat to Xi? Why even post that at all except to express your hatred of China?

If you wanted to make a point about Xi Jinping being a brutal imperialist dictator, you could do much better than using notoriously bloodthirsty imperialist Genghis Khan as a foil.
You want to talk imperialism? The Mongol Empire at its peak was far larger than China has ever been.
Stop this.

I have nothing more to gain on Bluesky. My interactions were no longer satisfactory and and only serve as a reminder of how I've always felt like an outcast.
Anti-Chinese and anti-China sentiment is rampant, and I'm sick of having my country of birth trashed, my culture treated as less-than.

Coffee isn't all that.
I hate butter.
Cheese makes me bloat.
Beer tastes nasty.
Bacon is unhealthy.
Cow's milk is for calves.
Fried foods? With our healthcare system?
And finally...
Football is a celebration of violence.

The way Jasmine Crockett is being treated mirrors exactly what happened to Kamala Harris, and it’s why Michelle Obama wants nothing to do with electoral politics. America loves the idea of Black women, but not giving us real power. #pinks #Momsky

Nothing in the history of the world could be more stupid than surviving trump somehow & then giving him the keys again & nothing you can ever say will change the fact that you should be shamed for eternity & this includes all eligible voters who did not vote for Kamala Harris. So just cut the shit.

There’s a reason why Bernie Sanders has been anti-immigration for the vast majority of his career— labor hates immigrants because they’re competition at the bottom; capital likes immigrants for the same reason-- the US left being pro-immigrant is sort of a modern anomaly

And since Trump won, how's the ceasefire? How is Gaza?

Hey everyone, when you scream at Democrats instead of Republicans you show this regime that the more they break the law, the madder you get at Democrats.
Why would Republicans stop? This is win/win for them unless you start acting like they have agency. They have the WH, Congress, & SCOTUS.

PLEASE teach ppl to teach ppl that yelling at Dems for not being able to magically change math & the “no guardrails” 2024 election results…
when the blame is the REPUBLICAN MAJORITY…
*incentivizes* Republicans to let ICE murder & Trump plunder.
You’re making them happier.

Not for nothing, the person who coined the "Kamala is a cop" meme that took off like wildfire in "leftists" circles was a woman who was convicted under Harris' tenure as AG for indecent contact with a minor, a teenage boy.
