The American Dream vs The Chinese Dream
(tankie.tube)
"Don't mention the American dream around me again. Vulgur."
I've been out here two and a half months now and it really do be like that. Prosperity everywhere.
Next week it's Xinjiang baby! Every Chinese person I've mentioned it too gets really excited. They consider it the most beautiful part of China and the food there is meant to be e excellent. They are quite upset about the western narrative about the "genocide" and very pleased to hear that I don't buy it at all. That has won me a lot of free drinks and cigarettes.
I like how you chose to spend the hottest 2 and a half months not in cool Xinjiang, but likely the hot regions, and then go to Xinjiang just as temperatures get reasonable elsewhere in China
I never claimed to be a smart person.
And yeah, July in central China was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I genuinely believe I've sweated more in the last two months than in the rest of my life combined.
Apparently Xinjiang is known for its great fruits. I'd be excited to visit anywhere with such a reputation. I watched a Xinjiang travel video with two scottish people who were so happy to be in a place with Kebab after traveling for so long that they had it 10 times in one day. They said the Kebab was as good as anywhere in the middle east. Uighur culture also seemed super welcoming and kind, I think you'll have a great time.
Bloodthirsty Chinese who want to [checks notes] make everyone prosperous at the expense of nobody?

cool video but what is tankie tube? I'd like to share but that name is embarrassing.
if you want to share a video file but the url concerns you, you could always download a copy of the video and share that instead. tankietube allows downloads but if it didn't you could probably use yt-dlp to achieve the same thing. I've seen this video everywhere so it's probably on youtube
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
One of many various attempts to simply accept, adopt and own the name rather than fight it.
Eventually the anarchists, soft left and so on will get called it enough for it to lose all meaning to them.
It's a nightmare

Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
