California produces 10% of American agricultural needs. If they secede it would be way worse on the economy than these tariffs.

Good point. I’ve never seen an ad on it and I’ve been using it for at least a week. There’s sponsored content, but you’d have to go looking for it. Like if I wanted to watch some videos about Nike shoes, I’d see sponsored videos and such. But no actual ads.

Based on the interaction with the app. The features are extensive. There’s no ads. My data has most likely been leaked by American companies anyways, so what’s the big deal?

Rednote doesn’t have ads

So far it’s been a wildly better experience

Or just go to rednote instead

I like Pineapple jalapeno and pepperoni, but the magic is the pineapple and jalapeno. It almost creates a whole new flavor and it’s awesome.

Get ready for The Great Depression Pt. 2: The Electric Boogaloo

China keeps taxes low by investing directly in businesses instead of shelling out grants and tax breaks. It’s been incredibly effective.

Last time we had a tariff war like this was the great depression

Well I already deleted the app and it’s not available on the app store. So long fake Chinese app. I’m going to a real Chinese app instead.

A machine could never come up with a word like CummasaurusFlex. Only a human is that stupid.

If all my data is for sale and China can just buy all my data from Meta, Amazon, Google, etc. Then why not just skip the middleman? At least if I give my data directly to the CCP, Zuckerberg won’t have access to it.

I just learned from red note that Chinese people don’t pay property taxes. Once they pay off their mortgage, they just own their home. I’m definitely the one living in a third world country.

Our phones are full of blatant authoritarian spyware already. What’s one more? I’d rather the CCP own my data than Meta or Microsoft anyways.

In my opinion, it’s been a beautiful and cultural exchange.

China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it’s capitalist swill. It’s within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It’s all about home field advantage.

When Khrushchev took power he had many of the documents from the Stalin and Lenin eras burned. Early Soviet history is essentially non existent and impossible to prove with what little is left. Most official documentation is destroyed. Lenin may have just liked using that quote when he read it elsewhere. We can have truly know.

Oh yeah, I forgot the other social media apps don’t collect data and spew propaganda. Oh wait… They do.

Commie sounds like a baby leftist that hasn’t read Das Kapital yet. He wouldn’t be trying to make this argument if he actually read Marx.
