Hello, everyone! Following recent events in social media, we are updating our content policy. The following social media sites may no longer be linked or have screenshots shared:
- X, including content from its predecessor Twitter, because Elon Musk promotes white supremacist ideology and gave a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration
- Any platform owned by Meta, such as Facebook and Instagram, because Mark Zuckerberg openly encourages bigotry with Meta's new content policy
- Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare
This policy will ensure that r/antiwork does not host content from far-right sources. We will make sure to update this list if any other social media platforms or their owners openly embrace fascist ideology. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Somewhere, in some dark basement, a g+ engineer is being dusted off in case this might just be his time...
You might want to check who was standing between Musk and Bezos at the inauguration.
Posting this so no one else has to search: it's Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet who owns Google
It's the guy that ruined Google and turned it into a purely evil cash machine. He is legitimately one of the most hated people among certain schools of though on economics and business. He's just a total scum bag and he runs Google like it's a criminal enterprise.
It is actually incredibly sad to see a company that seemed to have such a bright future get completely steered into a cycle of self destruction and revenue optimization in place of innovation. The opportunity lost there is just unbelievably immense. It really is a total failure of leadership, but hey, the numbers look good, so the shareholders don't care. So, nothing matters.
They're doing a great job letting Apple lead them and being competitors I guess. What's the point of spending money to create new products when you can just copy cat somebody else's ideas?
Remember when part of Google’s mission statement was “don’t be evil?” Ha.
Why be decent when you could be rich
removing that was the most transparent decline i've ever seen
I remember when they removed that bit of morality off their walls. Been a flaming shit show ever since.
Is he the reason why Google sucks as an actual search engine now?
My theory is yes. They probably were having an issue where they were sending traffic to pages that didn't have solid contextual matching for their advertising algo. So, they forced traffic into the pages where it does work correctly to optimize their revenue.
That's just my theory and yeah it's diabolically evil. That's how you figure out what Google is doing. You look at what they are doing with their tech and then think "Okay if I was a criminal, how would I steal huge amounts of money from this platform" and that's probably how Google operates normally. If you saw the stuff that was revealed during the EU trials, it's extremely clear that they don't care about anything besides money. It's a scamtech company...
It’s so frustrating and YouTube is the same. I remember being able to get an answer, find a product or find a video on how to do the thing in like 10-15 seconds tops, and it just all feels broken now.
YouTube was 100% brainwashing people with right wing propaganda... There was media coverage from small pubs about it. 2-3 clicks from a fresh account and you're permently red-pilled. They've been totally screwing us the whole time. They totally manipulated the election process. We need to stop kidding ourselves.
How dare you neglect to mention Jack Welch and furthermore imply that someone is more hated in business. Everyone these days is just doing their best impression of him.
Yeah, I know it's shocking right? It's like a competition to be the most hated person on Earth.
Thanks for looking that up. I've seen the pics, and I was wondering who that was. Didn't feel like looking it up at the time. I just figured that it was some rich tech CEO or something. It's easy to get distracted with all the knee bending, butt kissing, and um, "awkward arm gestures", lol.
It's easy to get distracted by the complete submission of government to corporate interests.
I know Tim Apple was there too. Really not leaving much blue sky territory to free expression when all the mega platforms, including legacy media, are owned by billionaires.
Sorry guys, your “tech bros” are just the American Oligarchy.
At least in Russia it's mobsters and ex-military types... here's it's just rich assholes having midlife crisises (and one Nazi whose family fortune was funded by apartheid)
Even in Russia they don’t have an office in the government and can’t make fools of the governing bodies because it makes Putin look bad. In the US felon musk and his cracked out crew of drug addicted sociopaths have a cozy office right in the White House so they don’t have to extend their arm too far to reach inside Trumps asshole and move his mouth
Time to bust out the uBBS again.
I'm legitimately missing MSN IM, ICQ and AIM at this point.
Rip AIM.
[deleted]
Problem is that it's probably going to end up hosted on AWS, Azure or GCP.
They really have things sewn up pretty tight right now.
was it a glass jar of water containing the head of joseph goebbels on a robot ostrich? at this point nothing will surprise me
Oh please don't threaten me with a good time. I loved g+
g+ with circles was the best!
Don’t forget Sundar Pichai was also backing Trump in the inauguration. Tim Jobs (Cook) also there. The tech industry has completely lost its roots, hopefully we see some real innovation outside the oligarchy before they make it all illegal.
Nah Bluesky is where it's at. The AT Protocol is legitimately revolutionary in the engineering space. Whether or not they succeed, someone will build something successful on top of the protocol as people get sick of centralized social media, the same way we use e-mail.
Will Google call it G++?
Wait, are we really blanket banning every single Chinese social media site?
one of these is not like the other, reddit censorship works in other fun ways
This sub is run by feds
Frankly, I'm out of here
Same. Libshits ruin everything
Yup. Just unsubbed myself.
The hilarious thing is that tencent, a Chinese tech firm, owns a substantial stake in Reddit.
Guys, I read it again
REDDIT IS NOW BANNED FROM REDDIT!
How fucking dumb. “ This policy will ensure that r/antiwork does not host content from far-right sources.” Ah yes, the famously right-wing Communist Party of China.
Red scare is still strong in 2025
TIL that this is an American subreddit, only for Americans and we must all swear our allegiance to the flag and must consider China a hostile foreign government.
Normal Chinese people and normal Americans need to be friends and get over this ingrained fear and hatred, absolute opposite of what this sub was supposedly trying to accomplish.
Fuck this.
[deleted]
Saving this one it feels important.
I mean, RedNote is great for achieving that objective.
Really showing your hand there with that last point aren't you? "Because China is a hostile foreign government", I'm not American, the US is a hostile fucking government and constantly fucking with other countries including mine to a degree China could only dream of.
Tiktok and RedNote are basically the only platforms not completely beholden to US government surveillance, censorship and propaganda.
Exactly. What constitutes hostile? Are they shooting us? Are Chinese planes bombing U.S. cities right now?
Oh you mean they’re just a global rival for supremacy? Damn
You can see that same line everywhere on Reddit. Clearly fed to the average American. They smile and clap and regurgitate “China is a hostile foreign government”
The US sacked my country's Prime Minister, staged a military coup in my neighbouring countries, which still lives under military dictatorship, and that doesn't even begin to cover the rest of the world
[removed]
If this isn't a dead giveaway this sub is astroturfed idk what is.
[removed]
Least surprising thing of all time
Remembering why I’m not subscribed lol. Someone should make NonSinophobicAntiwork
Yeah this feels like some fucked up centrist bullshit, of well we're banning the far right content so we need to ban some leftist shit also.
Google was kowtowing to trump also so why don't we have YouTube and Google shit banned as well?
The last point is far right propaganda lol
Mods have taken up the propaganda of something led by Trump and Tom Cotton.
I'm Australian and China is our biggest trading partner. Absolutely wild shit here.
If someone is Chinese and wants to discuss the abhorrent labour practices in their country, the CCP may be a hostile government, but it sure damn ain't foreign. This is comically US-defaultist...
I'm not even against the idea of these platforms being banned from subs, but the reasoning behind it is whack.
Tiktok is not even Chinese LMAO
Senator, I'm Singaporean.
I didnt realise r/antiwork had US congressmen on the Dev team. What a wild thing for them to do.
I sometimes comment here. This is insanity. An South African American did a Nazi salute and CCP is catching strays for no reason at all. What the actual fck are the mods smoking?
https://preview.redd.it/vdrty9nwijee1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b90e9e175b944b819acc386580c5d410f142678
So, no content from Reddit either? Tencent is viewed as one of China’s (and thus the CCP’s) national champion organizations. Shouldn’t content from Reddit be banned because of that?
Altman is also a right wing fascist billionaire pushing AI and aligned with Trump.
Thats the issue. The scum has invaded every aspect of social media because they know controlling narratives means controlling minds.
Not directing people to such sources is important, Removing any watermarks is important. But sharing class war memes is far more important.
Edit - Also are the workers of the CCP not also welcome here?
It's neofeudalism or technofeudalism.
This was my first thought, too. Pot calling the kettle black. Lol. Also “China/communism BAD” is a wild take for an anti-work subreddit.
Reddit leftism is just liberal roleplay. These kinds of subs fly dangerously close to the realm of controlled opposition, although I think Redditers are just earnestly dumb and can't differentiate fascism from China.
https://preview.redd.it/b9ebrz8kjjee1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5b410cf5df6f05bfbd2699261d1422df394c68d
Platforms affiliated with the CCP? So. Just about anything? Cause tencent has its hands just about everywhere.
Like you know. Reddit.
Let’s ban Reddit from Reddit
When the mods’ fear of Chinese people turns into full blown schizophrenia 🤯
Right?! The first two rules I get, the third is just Sinophobia
This feels like mods trying to “both sides” Elon coming out as a Nazi. “But but but China bad too!”
…..also, this is extremely assuming that reddit is only used by by the US, or even only by westerners.
Newsflash. It absolutely is not lol, hasn’t been ever.
Or like, at least during the 16 years I’ve been here in this hellhole.
It's a tried and tested method. Reddit did the same thing by Banning a bunch of Leftist subreddits when they banned the Donald. This kind of shit always gives the right more power.
Yep I still remember losing r/chapotraphouse right at that time. Sub had some problems but RIP, miss it still
Still insane that the official reason was for “inciting violence” because people on the sub said “slave owners should die” as if that should be in any way controversial
the exodus to rednote was raising awareness about crappy work/healthcare/housing standards in the US.
clearly that was a danger to the goals of whoever runs this sub.
Yeah. This sub is more liberals with pro labor aesthetics than genuine beliefs in leftist ideals grounded in actual theory.
Yeah, this definitely screams libshit.
Yeah
exactly. this is a coup. just ban Xhitter links, period.
What, precisely, are they trying to guard against?
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the TikTok algorithm heavily promoted China and sends all of your data directly to the CCP. (Just to look at TikTok in the worst possible light)
Reddit doesn't use the TikTok algorithm and your data doesn't magically go to TikTok just because you watch a video that was posted there. So...why is it banned?
Libs have to "both sides" stuff because they don't want to think. "If both the Nazis and the gays are mad us, we must be on the right track."
"Elon is bad, but China is bad because Elon says China is bad too!"
Wasn't everyone just talking about how rednote was lifting the veil of propaganda and enabling people to learn about crap working standards and standards of living?
Yes. It's been opening a lot of our eyes. Banning it is absolutely crazy in my opinion.
This sub has been under fed control since when it initially peaked.
1000%. Got keep their finger on the pulse of the working class somehow
I thought it was funny saying CCP is a hostile foreign government... Foreign to who? Chinese people use (and own) this app lol
From where I am sitting, the USA is also hostile foreign government
Yup, as a Canadian the United States is threatening to annex my country or use economic violence to force us to submit; can't get much more hostile than that without straight up invading.
I'd argue that the US is the
ehostile foreign government.Sure, other governments can be hostile as shit, but they don't have the reach and power that mine does.
And, as an American civ, none of it even benefits me. Well, I'm not accustomed to nearby buildings exploding, which is nice, but kind of a low bar
It’s insane how much we ravage the rest of the world, feed all of those profits to 2000 people tops, and then you have dumbass trump saying “we make bad deals with everyone”
[deleted]
We can't. We're busy being infiltrated and overthrown by the US government.
I agree. This is literally anti-work subreddit about how shit companies are in the USA and how the government literally does nothing to protect you from them. But somehow they believe the same government telling them the other guy is the threat. What a joke.
Also to OP, it’s CPC not CCP.
Couldn't have said it better myself. This is straight up US state propaganda BS. I've been using rednote and the Chinese have been rooting us on over here it's awesome haha.
The people on rednote are phenomenal honestly, it's been a great learning experience (as a Canadian)
You're on the Eglin Air Force Base website. Almost all subreddits are US propaganda lol.
Americans constantly out themselves on this site when they refer to China as "foreign" and bad as a result, completely neglecting that the majority of Redditors view the US as foreign also.
How is the foreign affiliation of China not ok but the foreign affiliation of the US isn't? From my perspective both firmly engage in propaganda, lobbying and strong-arming of my country, the US much more so in fact.
The US is THE imperialist core, mind you, lmao.
Like I feel as though that is more anti-revolutionary by calling China a hostile foreign government
CIA modding the subreddit
Yeah getting major CIA psyop vibes from the mods now.
They trying to neutralize subreddits like this before they get too "dangerous"
It is a US corpofascist talking point, and extremely ridiculous. Reddit is compromised and not because of the CCP and tencent, but because of the US government and Condé Nast. This reads as naive propaganda, anti work is a joke compared to what it started as
Absolutely.
This whole sub has just turned into one big joke of "shit Americans say".
You know what though - this is great. Maybe it'll push people to real leftist forums, rather than these "as soon as I get mine, fuck you" subs. People need to actually understand why things work the way they work rather than be pissed they're currently not doing well. Teach a man to fish and all.
[deleted]
Yeah that last bullet is out of place and should be dropped
Hard agree. China is also a...big country? With a lot of people? What constitutes affiliation with a one-party state?
Like, I think you could make an argument that *any* platform owned or operated in part by a Chinese citizen is "affiliated" with the CCP.
This feels reactionary, short-sighted, and perhaps most importantly u/mods, difficult to enforce in a clear and consistent fashion.
China has more unionized citizens than any other country why are we censoring them at all? Workers of the world and all that.
Because the mods here try to manipulate the narrative and push a liberal perspective on anti-capitalism. And liberalism is a pro capitalistic ideology.
While CPC is socialist, which is an actual effective anti-capitalist ideology. Ask your self why the mods here only promote Anarchism in the sidebar? Because it's the least effective form of anti-capitalism, it doesn't threaten the status quo (liberal capitalism) at all.
Yeah I'm not digging that last one that's very strange and a bit weird here alongside the rest. I think homie needs to put the capitalist propaganda down. Our billionaires want to threaten China because China is a threat to them economically. They can't even reach us with their largest aircraft carriers without refueling, if they were threatening to us physically or war wise we'd have our aircraft carriers strike groups in the Pacific instead of cycling them on protecting the place that shall not be named.
I could go on. It just doesn't hold up that 'our' imperialist government isn't the aggressor here and hasn't been.
[removed]
How is China hostile to anyone lol? They literally do nothing while the US crumbles and makes up a bunch of bullshit about them to distract people from problems at home. US citizens going on Rednote have been able to get a view of normal Chinese life without the sinophobic propaganda filter that is ever-present in US media and have shockingly found them to be completely normal people. If anything, it's radicalizing more people to see how much better the average Chinese lives with free healthcare, affordable housing, far more modern infrastructure, etc.
Least xenophobic reddit mods moment.
Seriously though, the "CCP" part is so poorly thought-through. You should all take a look at yourselves and reconsider.
It feels blatantly sinophobic. Are we trying to make sure Republicans don't leave this board?
I think you'd be surprised about how much the user base of red note would agree with this sub. I regularly see Chinese netizen ask why Americans put up with such a broken system, why we haven't revolted.
We have been fed a lot of propaganda about the people of China.
Class consciousness and workers of the world actually uniting is an actual threat, and the fed mods can't allow that.
Yeah why should any of us in r/Antiwork care about the CCP? Like what the actual fuck is this decision?
The mods are against workers.
It's genuinely funny what a white supremacist slant the average American has.
The average American, including liberals, have such reactionary beliefs about the Chinese people and they think they live in conditions where buildings are collapsing left and right and whatnot.
Meanwhile, the Chinese on rednote are like "whoa I thought you guys paying for ambulances and medical bankruptcy was just government propaganda from the party."
They genuinely believe that we wouldn't tolerate it because they see us as people. Americans don't even reciprocate the same basic respect.
This becomes very obvious if you're from anywhere south of the Equator. Well, anywhere but Australia I suppose.
What Americans believe about us Latin Americans is... well let's just say we joke about it a lot down here.
+
Are posts about these subjects allowed?
Im too lazy to post, but like, maybe someone else.
I would steer clear of anything that moves traffic from here to there altogether. There are more, reputable ways to share information.
[removed]
No. The whole point is to stop spreading the toxicity and hate. The algorithms of X and Meta are built in such a way as to stir emotions and spread misinformation with an emphasis of pushing to your face the worse views of the most hardcore rightwings idiots.
If you share or even talk about such content, even without linking, you are contributing unknowingly into spreading these disease.
It boggles my mind how much extra they get from people posting “look what they said now” stuff. If I wanted to know I’d have followed them to begin with.
It's been their whole strategy since president there started his first campaign, say outrageous things, people get riled up, have the dumbest arguments with his supporters that pretend to believe it, etc.
A lot of actual news gets lost in the shuffle too. I already planned not to follow the play by play of inflammatory stuff they say this time. I'm not arguing over evident fact beyond something that should be refuted for the public good and then not getting into back and forth about if their argument doesn't have any merit. All easier said than done but tune in and drop out, it's going to be a stupid ride through meantown here.
This is some pretty low grade “both sidesism”.
Reminder that Reddit is a controlled platform too, as many of us saw on r/worldnews in response to Gaza.
Also the blatant shut down of any conversation regarding Luigi M. Reddit went really hard on the censorship of that one, explictly sending messages to mods to ban such content even discussing his manifesto in entirely neutral language was not permitted all for reasons absolutely no one could ever figure out why...
Reddit has repeatedly proven itself to be a tool of the American bourgeoisie.
Yeah in contrast Rednote is completely filled with pro-Luigi posts and alot of communist content
Both r/news and r/worldnews are controlled by some CIA aligned group. Truly disgusting subs.
Edit: I just got a 3 day ban from this sub. Gawd knows why.
Edit 2: why would I lie?
https://preview.redd.it/9523ohw96lee1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f13f9a9ad2603f18302624017e510a9769dde608
Edit 3: I'm on the app, if I try to post a reply to a comment it says "empty response", so I guess the ban is active. I can edit existing replies, not sure if it is a bug or a feature. About the ban itself, I will do what I always do when I find a power tripping mod on Reddit: unsub and delete all my replies to the sub. I've been using the internet long enough to know it is pointless trying to understand people with little power syndrome.
every top sub is controlled, maybe not by CIA or gov but most definitely by an organization with a set agenda they’re trying to push. can’t believe reddit is just realizing this now lol
I copped 3 days from News after reporting a single user for anti-Palestine hatred. The admin said “report abuse” in the ban.
They’re using it to weed out anybody who leans left. It’s not a safe platform.
This sub was co-opted long ago.
airport six boat public serious office rinse tub summer aware
This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact
One of these isn't like the others, what the f?
That nationalist bullet on the CCP is whack for a supposedly socialist/communist sub. Did you mean to post that in r/conservative?
Threw out the baby with the bathwater...and an insult to boot ("CCP")
What is this, The State Department?
"a hostile foreign government"
Right? Hostile to WHO, exactly?
Because the Americans just threatened to fucking invade us. China has not.
[removed]
I'm replying to you because you're correct, but the fact antiwork would ban the most populous nation shows this is about Social Media control rather than class.
But the state department said they are!
Ok Boomer. I agree with X and Meta, but what did the CPC do to this Reddit?
Drop the "both sides" bullshit and this would be a decent measure
...did the mods get infiltrated by the CIA while we were asleep? The fuck are you smoking with that last bullet point.
I’ve suspected this sub (and others) are controlled opposition and this confirms it for me. Politics is one of the bigger and more obvious subs.
I was with you until you went with "and any Chinese platform because China because evil". And I say that as an American.
Twitter and Meta make perfect sense, it's literally oligarchs directly twisting narratives to fit their personal needs. Other sources would need to be on a case-by-case basis. But banning an entire country because "they evil"? Dude. Just no. Pure bias.
Obviously this sub is captured and controlled opposition, also reddit should be banned as well because it fits the last point LOL. They don't want the American people to communicate with the Chinese people.
"China is banned because evil" is falling right into the misinformation traps set by Far Right, Meta and Twitter.
Agreed, that's some boomer sh*t.
As a european, the US govt is probably more of an hostile foreign one than the CCP. Should we ban all US news ?
This is what I love: when American xenophobia and apologists tried to convince us the US isn’t the problem
As a Brazilian, same. The US government is the most hostile towards workers in the world.
Red Scare is a hell of a drug. Latin America remembers.
Africa too
And the most hostile toward human beings. The US has killed about 2 million people in the "global war on terrorism" and countless more with starvation level sanctions on countries. Two things that China doesn't do.
Banning US news seems logical to me. The US is now a fascist dictatorship and is thus an enemy to humanity. Might have to ban all US content while we're at it.
I was going to sign off /s. But I'm not entirely sure I'm being sarcastic. Bitter, maybe? Sad certainly.
What a fucking world
What news? Lol
Our media is just buckets carrying water for the trump firehose of falsehood.
Kinda surprised, and seriously disappointed, in an "antiwork" subthe same kind of "China bad" stance of the American oligarchy.
Can’t be Reddit without having a hate boner for China
I swear to god any place people type in the laziest "china bad" content literally everyone is cheering.
I would remove the CCP part not only for the racism but also because you'd be shooting yourself in the foot based on many reasons other have already posted
Reddit is more affiliated with China than TikTok. What sort of weird hate boner do the mods here have?
Ew, anti work falling for US propaganda on China?
There was a reason there was a mass exodus from this sub a few years back. The moderation team was compromised and I'm pretty sure it came out one of the top mods was a spook or government asset in some way. Regardless a lot of people left because it became clear legitimate organisation and protest was being shut down by the mod team.
anti work promoting racist propaganda by labeling every chinese they see as the "communist enemy"
im sure the makeup videos on rednote must be communist propaganda
btw are people aware that nearly 80% of RedNote users are women? its a very different platform compared to mainstream social media.
Really? You're trying to group in Red Note with platforms doing actual harm like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram? I thought fucking antiwork would be better than both sides-ism on something like this
"hostile foreign government"
Now I'm as critical of China as any of else with an inkling of geopolitics but this is just Cold War 2 bullshit that flat-out does not belong in this sub
I invite folks to actually take a gander at Red Note and simply YouTube China. You can look for Asian adjacent news sources to get a less US biased lens and start to poke holes. They're not perfect but you certainly have no room to argue that America is better. There are way too many examples across the world where they do better by their people and America refuses to borrow from this and apply here.
Someone said it best: America has freedom to complain but not freedom to change.
That's why most of the arguments on this thread is about "freedom of expression." You have been convinced that as long as you can complain and say what you want that that's enough. But living a comfortable life, with access to opportunity, and fair outcomes... that you're willing to give up in exchange for complaining out loud.
They're talking freely on that RedNote app but they don't promote political topics on either side to keep it civil. Unlike most US social media, including Reddit, allows for rage baiting political posts to sow division and make it that much easier to control us all (a felon getting elected is proof enough this worked). But difficult questions are still seen posted on there that you can engage with if you search for it or happen to have it in your feed. People are discussing cost of living, Trump, Elon, LGBT, poverty, crime, racial/ethnic differences. Take a gander for a change.
I also heard “Americans think they’re free because they’re allowed to have opinions but they don’t have choices”
So truth social cross posting is a ok?
Well, it’s not from big bad China, now is it? No Chinese communism allowed on the antiwork subreddit, only American fascism.
I don't care what's banned or not. But China is not hostile to the US. When is the last time China hurt you? When is the last time China invaded another nation? How many military bases does China have all over the world again?
Don't you see it is just the government creating a fake enemy for us to call "them"? To further divide the people?
If you stop listening to our government's propaganda, you may find that China's standard of living is surpassing our own. Their technology surpassed ours years ago!
They are healthier, happier, and live longer. Really. The average life expectancy is higher in China than the US. Google it! Get outside of your American echo chamber folks!
I agree with you completely (I’ve lived in China almost a decade now and it’s way better than the US, which is where I was born and raised), but will point out China DOES maintain military bases around the world in other countries. Not nearly as many as the US, and they haven’t fought a war in 50 years (US…idk, 50 seconds seems optimistic). But they do exist
"affiliation with CCP"
YEAH, let's buy into the fascists ideology
"Hostile foreign government" so this sub has a nationality? And the US isnt a hostile government somehow?
Citation needed.
And hostile to whom? As a European, I'm subjected to the same bullshit from the US.
The citation is the mod team are state dept shills
Richest person/US politician in the world does a nazi salute and they have to blame it on china somehow lmao
Straight out of Trump's talking points.
Edit: Just to clarify, anything that brings the working class of two large, industrial nations to a platform where they interact with each other is a net positive for the world. They can compare and contrast their lives and demand more and more. If you think otherwise, you're supporting an anti-working class position, especially when you parrot the talking points of the nationalist capital. If this rule is not rescinded, it means that r/antiwork has succumbed to the new Cold War ideology in the most ridiculous way. A sub that is meant to be communist.
This sub got compromised long ago and they're showing their colours once more. There's a reason that years back there was a mass exodus from here amidst controversy over the mod team to new subs like r/workersstrikeback
My thoughts exactly!!!! Our own government does to us what they accuse TikTok of doing
I didn't know this sub had a nationality.
Wtf is "CCP affiliated content" supposed to mean?
Edit: but no, seriously, what social media sites CAN we post?
anything about non western countries that hasn't been filtered by the CIA or something
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Every single fucking conversation on the internet at this point goes through half a dozen different three letter agencies and dozens more covert censoring and surveillance tools controlled by the US government. And I don't even fucking live there.
Why can I as someone neither in nor a citizen of the US seemingly not communicate anywhere online without the US watching over my shoulder?
Hilarious you call China a hostile foreign government yet they're way more diplomatic than the U.S. which actively funds a genocide and is run by fascists.
Oh...wait...
BTW, ya'll will have to pry Red note from my cold, dead hands. It's so much better than anything the US has. I love speaking to the Chinese people. People who don't like rednote probably have never been on it. China is only an adversary to the American oligarchy. Us common folk all want the same thing in the end.
That's it no more content from reddit allowed. (See tencent)
I really wonder how this badly thought out policy came to be.
Can someone explain what China has done to the USA to make it hostile to us other than compete with us on the global market and make nearly every product US Americans buy?
I don’t understand this. It’s very Cold War.
It is a cold war. It's an economic cold war. There is so much disinformation about China that can be easily refuted with light research and a willingness to learn. So seeing people parrot the party line blindly that China is our enemy and Trump and co. are "right on this front" shows how many of us are 1) so deeply duped and 2) intentionally remain duped.
There's no way in Hell you can see what's happening in this country, look at other countries (beyond Europe because the world does exist beyond America and Europe) and swear that this country is the best purely because rich people make money very easily here from our overvalued stock market and frame that as the metric of success... a metric that strategically excludes the common person.
We are lost as a country. Socialism is still an evil word despite the very things the "liberal" side of the spectrum claims to want are fundamentally socialist.
Lol this is why I say that while there is merit and bravery to staying and trying to change, America is so deeply and fundamentally broken that I rather not waste my lifetime here when I can spend the one life I have assimilating to a better culture and better governed country that actually aligns with communal values.
From most Americans perspective the current US government is behaving more hostile than China.
Just saying....
