Its about workout with music in a Chinese school.
Bet this cracker ain't got nothing for the cultish way Amerikan schools force the pledge of allegiance in the mornings.
Or how about team sports? Is this supposed to be different from some coach in Indiana getting kids in a line and having them do the same drill?
Except ours is worse because it functions as a hunger games esque system where young people brutalize themselves for the entertainment of others in the desperate attempted maybe gain a chance at not living in absolute poverty for the rest of their lives. They seem to just want their kids to do some exercise instead of sitting for 6 hours straight.
This is far too pessimistic about team sports. The "brutalize themselves" really only applies to football, and I think it's safe to say the vast majority of kids who play that (or any other sport) understand their chances at going pro (or even getting a scholarship) are slim.
There are also unambiguous benefits: learning how to handle defeat, learning to work with others in a stressful environment, finding fun ways of staying active, learning about nutrition and how to take care of your body in general.

CW this for tyranny for christ's sake
So all those days in Kindergarten jumping rope to ABBA were actually capitalist indoctrination?
When teachers say “jump” kids don’t even ask “how high?” anymore 😔
Devastated to learn that my middle school gym days doing the cha cha slide were actually asianese-style authoritarianism
Yeah I'm Marxist-Leninist-Jumpathonist

It's amazing how mad this has made some of you.
Everyone is calling me a pudding brained baby. This means I reign as champion in all the lands
Something something Sartre quote.
Imagine if a leftist tried to use "U mad bro?" or claim that they're trolling when arguing with a CHUD and don't have a good counter-argument.

You know who else exercised? The nazis. Checkmate red fash

Ever heard of gym class? Sorry China's gym class is probably better for actually exercising.
Our gym class was disorganized pick up basketball while the gym teacher nursed a hangover.
I was born and raised in a hick town, so I totally second that this is what PE is like. Despite all the emphasis on our football team, "gym" "class" was a complete insult to even the concept of exercise. You spend 20 minutes just very slowly explaining the rules of fucking kickball as if we just heard about it for the first time IN HIGH SCHOOL, and the rest of the time was a boring nothingburger of a 'class' because no one (me included) took it seriously. On the bright side, there wasn't much of a jocks vs nerds thing at my school because I could always just make my physical shortcoming look like I'm just not taking it seriously like everyone else. You could just flip the script on any bully by pointing out "Wow, you care about things to the extent that someone else's imperfection offends you? Loser!"
Please Mao, come back and rewrite the script for gym class to make it actually practical.

Did this dumbass never go to gym class?
The cool teachers would let us play music, as we exercised together.

"The CCP decides it wants to push something on the algorithms"
*CPC
Also, America does this all the time!
but you see, in china this is done by the evil government who is accountable to the entire citizenship. in america, this is decided by one of a small number of rich people who were divinely selected by The Market to guide our society.
Oh, sorry, silly me, I forgot...
I'm still trying to figure out why CCP is the preferred thing in America. It's either to emphasize the "Chinese" part (scary foreigners) or make it look more like CCCP. I have no idea.
CCCP was the triple communist party
communism is a lil bit weaker now so it's just the CCP

TIL That PE class is Nazism.
To be fair, as a clumsy kid who hated PE and was bullied by my classmates for being bad at sports I would probably have agreed.
It seems to be a recurring theme where they turn their infantile whining about petty personal grievances into a righteous crusade against “authoritarianism”.
Eating broccoli = literally Hitler
Looks like there's still no risk of America beating the obesity stereotype any time soon.
Japanese had their kids do radio calisthenics in school while they were younger (do they still do it?), you don't see these dumbasses calling them evil commies putting on shows
When Japan does it it’s epic anime country
Those daily workouts were the best part of school in China tbh. 8 sets of aerobic exercises and 8 sets of facial/eye massage every morning
Sounds nice
shoutout to the foundational PMC anti-communist radlib textbook 1984 which also thinks exercise is evil and scary, I wonder why the class of indoor gamerchair "workers" would have this belief?
Still waiting to see CGTN videos popping on my SO's Tiktok feed instead of food and celebrity drama

yeah, Americans would think exercise is fascism, that's true
I can smell the body shape of the person who posted this. Imagine being so damn "redditor" that the very concept of exercising with others is seen as pure evil.
Try to be less body shamey
You're right, that was very poorly phrased, the emphasis was meant to be more on the "terminally online" than anything else.
The enemy is both strong and weak
That's why we have to fear kids exercising, you don't want to get knocked out by a 12-year-old, now do you?
Oh, what if they have a sling, not feeling like a Goliath now?
Fuck you, I will never Jazzercise.
Jazzercise is nazism
