Just weird times we live in. I didn't not expect this from CGTN necessarily, I guess I'm still pleasantly surprised.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Apropos lyrics aside, though, at least somebody's swinging on it; but you just know some reich-winger is gonna see this as justification for the RESTRICT act.
Here's hoping shit like this starts blowing up and it convinces more liberals of China's progressive status than it does to convince right-wingers that "China is spreading gender ideology to Amerikkkan children! Close the border!"
It's funny. We are in a position to weaponize idpol against liberals, because as Amerika continues to skyrocket into the hellfire of fully realized fascism, or at least the mask is falling, the socialist and communist world is getting W after W. Cuba being the most notable. I've read that Vietnam will hold a referendum on gay marriage and a similar family code in 2024, and if it passes... I'm very excited, but also very nervous. My point being, Amerika's backsliding and the global south and periphery are moving forward, generally speaking. It will be... interesting... if by 2030, China is the refuge for LGBT people whereas Amerika continues moving backwards. Not that I hope for that for fellow LGBT Amerikans.
Just speculating on the future. It's fucking weird. But awesome. But horrifying. You know?
Sadly, I think this is going to alienate liberals as well. They always have cultural opinions that would have been revolutionary fifty years ago, but trans rights are revolutionary now.
Liberals are more likely than conservatives to be LGB(T), though. I just think there's an untapped agitprop advantage to be had there. Potentially.
