White people before they visit Tibet: "Oh, the government requires we have a guide with us? Ohoho, is that to stop us from seeing things we shouldn't see? Is that to stop Tibetans from seeing how glorious and enlightened we are as we prance about with our unfettered freedom?"

White people coming back from Tibet: "It's a good thing we had a guide with us. They don't warn you about how thin the air is! [they do] We didn't think we'd need any help with breathing [because we assume we're better than everyone else]. Some of us would have literally died if our guide didn't arrange for oxygen tanks for our hotel rooms."

Yeah they did. Speculation: one of the videogame companies channeling funds into fusion reactor research may be the result of some bargaining over this.

Some of the sources I get news about China from are definitely not supporting China for any reason other than it’s not the US.

Is it that, or are they supporting China because it's not the US and it's playing an instrumental role in undermining US domination of global south countries?

What I mean to say is if those channels understand that the US is evil, then they have a commendable reason for supporting China.

Maybe, but there are better options now.

I'd suggest getting started by getting in touch with the prolewiki people. They might be able to help you get the ball rolling: they have established infrastructure, community and organisation.

One of them thinks the US's Xinjiang propaganda is real, one of them doesn't.

What about the Walther PPK? I heard there was this guy in a bunker in Berlin who was about to be arrested by the evil communists, but he used a PPK to stop them and he only needed to use one shot to do it.
