    As somebody who sees this style of post (I genuinely don’t know, is it a translation formatting thing?) like me won’t have any idea where to stop reading each event :(

        Worse, it’s part of a myth that if someone living in China ever reads about or becomes aware of the grievances in that copypasta, the government will send a goon squad to disappear that person immediately.

        Which I always found just the perfect distillation of liberal ideology: China is bad for being a repressive police state, and so we’ll use that to ruin the lives of random Chinese people

        I was kind of aware of the subtext of it all. But obviously I had no context for like which gov or group used these bizarre formats 😅.

        Ngl I love and hate it. It’s beyond overwhelming. I’m just over here like ahh yes all this shit I didn’t hear about 😓
