I can't emphasize enough how *batshit crazy* Guo Wengui's GNews is. NSFW examples below.
"Mr. Hunter Biden, when you dicked teenage girls with your 9.5-inch penis all night long, did it ever occur to you that these girls could be left psychologically scarred for lifetime, even lifelong sterility or death?"
"On one hand he sold out the U.S. National Interests; on the other hand he absorbed the marrow of Chinese people. The 9.5-inch penis pierce through the souls of all the forces of justice. Now is the time for us to cut off 9.5-inch penis and Satan’s evil forces."
"Facing the “Biden families” all over the world under the control of “Pandora’s Box”, the apostle of ten thousand buddhas and gods has pierced through obstacles, marked the swamp, and opened the way for us three years ago. He prayed for us with the hope of Athena."
"People got a glimpse into his indulgent life and perverted inner world. One photo attracted lots of attention, which the strange tattoos on Hunter’s back in the photo are very consistent with Finger Lakes. It seems to be revealing the secret deeply hide in his heart."
Like, 'Hunter Biden sex tape' isn't enough, it's 'Hunter Biden sex tape with a 14 year old girl who is also a member of the Biden family.' It's genuinely disturbed.
what's best about this is the mixture of straightforward porn *and* the Chinese state media style of random accusations, irrelevant facts, and an obsession with specific numbers, especially around size. (Though normally it's '5243 square meter factory' or similar)

A short thread on animal mourning, prompted by observing our remaining dog, Calvin, over the last month. Calvin is seven - half the age of Hobbes, our late dog. He first started following us when he was a stray in Beijing when we took Hobbes (and another rescue foster) for walks
He was clearly drawn to the idea of having a pack - or a family, which are the same thing for dogs. Hobbes was very accepting of him, though he never stopped insisting on his place as First Dog, despite being considerably smaller.
For the last six and a half years, then, they were apart for, at most, a few hours at a time. When they flew from China to the US together they shared a cage. They often sat on top of each other on the sofa, and they play-wrestled a few times a day.
People saying Hank Hill wouldn’t have voted Trump is just cope for their relatives doing so in reality.
Your dad/uncle who “believes in character” and “values humility” still voted Trump in 2016 and did so even more enthusiastically in 2020 after four years of denialism and Fox and Facebook posts.
In reality, people put aside their personal dislikes for group identity all the time.
Racism - specifically the utter unwillingness to believe in Chinese deaths as real, or to listen and learn from East Asian experience - has played a big goddamn role in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary covid-19 deaths.
When I say 'believe in Chinese deaths as real,' I mean to take the suffering and loss of Wuhan as something catastrophic and imminent, as - eventually, partially - we did Italy, rather than as something far away that couldn't happen to us.
And when it comes to the dismissal of East Asian experience, I don't just mean the refusal to learn from masks and centralized isolation and other verifiable on-the-ground successes, but the inanity of 'their culture is different' takes.
it's notable that even in the paragraph where she's like 'it's hard to know if the U.S is better, worse, or the same as China' the examples she cites *are infinitely worse on the Chinese side.*
U.S federal forces held people without charge for like twelve hours in Portland. That's bad! It's a genuine slippery slope! It doesn't compare to the scale of Chinese repression in the slightest.
look, China can't be like Nazi Germany, because I know people in China, whereas I know nobody in 1930s Germany.
there were *lots* of people in 1930s Germany opposed to German government policy, and even more who were generally good people ignorant or indifferent about politics
there's plenty of problems in the comparison, but when a country starts targeting a population for genocide, beating the drums on ethnonationalist revanchism and upholding a leader cult, we shouldn't be surprised or outraged if people compare it to the most famous example of same
