In 'Easting the West', @chenchenzhang.net stares into the abyss of digital reactionary discourse in China, showing how the Chinese right appropriates the language of postcoloniality to reproduce racial and civilisational hierarchies and justify exclusion. A conversation with @clydewang.bsky.social.

What an incredible film! Highly recommend watching it

This law is a real nightmare, creates a legal grounding for the state's assimilationist colonial campaigns

leute ich würde gerne zum monatsanfang nochmal die werbetrommel für mein OP gofundme rühren ❤️ es nähert sich LANGSAM richtung ende und da das op datum ende september ist und ich noch richtig viel planen muss geb ich jetzt nochmal alles ! bitte teilt, und spendet nur wenn ihr etwas übrig habt ❤️❤️❤️

Die CDU hat am Ende einfach Angst dass es mal jemand laut sagt. Deswegen die Reaktion auf Pantisano. Mit der "Opposition" aus GrünenFDPSPD hat man sich daran gewöhnt dass einfach alle leise nach rechts rücken

The attacks & dehumanisation against the LGBTQI communities continue apace globally & it's horrific. Malaysian Gov't defining the whole community as budaya songsang” (deviant culture) is sickening & will encourage the persecution of our friends in Malaysia. 1/

How many percent of the sky do nonbinary people hold up?

Currently reading Taiwan Travelogue and I am realizing that I am too german to read this book. I am unable to understand how one can enjoy eating food to this degree.

I suspect they would hit out at any win by Taiwan. But they further dislike the idea that Taiwan has a distinct history from China, as marked by Japanese colonialism, that it’s a queer story, and most of all that it’s a story with subtlety in engaging with colonial history

My article on hukou reforms republished in Jacobin

bis ein medikament entwickelt wird das mir hilft, wird sich daran leider auch nichts ändern

7 monate her, dass ich zum letzten mal alleine das haus verlassen konnte

I mostly left social media including bluesky bc. my brain cant handle the constant flow of terrible news slop

It's interesting to note that there's now a sort of micro-genre of Taiwanese about children finding out their parents may be gay or bisexual, this is an example of a film about a mother and son

Just bought a new kindle, bc I wanted to jailbreak it, but amazon already patched the recent jailbreak and now i need to wait for a new jailbreak

i feel like there are no good solutions for cheap ebook readers that are not run by amazon and have a screen that is large enough to have a good reading experience

Some years ago my university library discarded this book and I took it back then and I just started to read it out of boredom. Now I know everything there is to know about the burial chamber paintings from the Wei-Jin period located in Jiayuguan.

This is a very good response to Prashads and Chaks recent Xinjiang repression denial slop

Two of the worst taiwanese twitter users have united to talk about how good everything is in Xinjiang

Rechte Formate (zb. Diskussionen bei der taz lol )

Das linke im rechten Formaten auftreten ist sinnvoll und führt nicht zu einer Normalisierung rechter Positionen, weil rechte Positionen schon normalisiert sind und so eher linke die Möglichkeiten haben linke Positionen in den Diskurs zu bringen.

It’s amazing how many pen names Chinese authors have. Just read the wiki article of a 20th century author who has 7 pen names (he also had 5 additional names throughout his life)

Dieses interne Dokument des DGB für die 1.Mai-Demonstration in Leipzig wurde geleakt. Es zeigt, wie sich die DGB-Führung in Leipzig darauf vorbereitet, linke und palästinasolidarische Menschen auszuschließen, wenn "nötig" auch mithilfe der Polizei.

“Behind these parodies lie two societies that face the same crises of alienation, unemployment, and a weak welfare state. Only by moving beyond these fictions can we build the international solidarity necessary to overcome our shared struggles.”

I once took a road trip with this one special group of friends to Taybeh, where one of my friends is from. We spent a few days there some 15 years ago, and to date it remains one of my most cherished memories. Israel is detonating it all. This is a punishable war crimes under international law.

"Cheng Li-wun, the head of the Kuomingtang, and China’s President Xi Jinping held a high-profile meeting Friday during which they called for peace, without offering specifics." Just thinking out loud but if they want to ensure peace they could promise not to start a war

Finally I have Blåhaj

"A MAN CLIMBED onto the wing of a US military plane at Shannon Airport (Ireland) this morning and attacked the fuselage and wing with a hatchet. (...) One source said that the damage done to the aircraft was extensive."

I am once again asking western leftist how the invasion of a foreign country (china invading Taiwan) is supposed to help working class people

Important and useful read by @chenchenzhang.net

On this note I bought Chen Qiufans latest book a while ago, bc I really like his writing style and I wanted to know what he has to say about AI and climate change, but the story is exceptionally difficult to follow.

To me reading complicated Chinese sentences feels like solving a mathematical equation. First I have to solve all the parts of the sentences structures and then I have to think about what they mean when added together

Im Zweifel ist auch antisemitismusbekämpfung ein sondervermögen für amigos

Ich suche jemanden, der mich so liebt wie Deutschland seine alten Nazigesetze um arme Menschen weg zu sperren

It's hard to imagine a worse outcome for Trump. Both his threat to target civilian infrastructure and his claim to have negotiated a ceasefire have been discredited—neither the Iranian nor Israeli governments listen to him—and he's forced into strife with Netanyahu while economic pressure continues.

Man the videos of the Israeli strike in Beirut are horrible.

Wie in deutschen Redaktionsstuben nun die Hände gewrungen werden, ob man in Sachen USA jetzt den Begriff des Genozids verwendet: Man wolle ja die Doppelstandards der letzten 2,5 Jahre nicht allzu offensichtlich zeigen. Aber der Begriff Genozid passe wiederum so gut zur Auslöschungsankündigung.

Die AfD hat effektiver gegen die passive Beteiligung der Bundesrepublik am Irankrieg agitiert als jede Person in der Linken

Denk nur ich, dass die Linkspartei das Gebot der Stunde total verpasst hat? Größte Weltkrise, atomare Kriegsgefahr, deutsche Komplizenschaft mit US-Verbrechen, eine katastrophale Bundesregierung- & die Parteiführung schafft in einer Zeit für medienwirksame Aktionen nicht mehr als ein paar Floskeln?

The Junta's new "Cabinet" is full of Murderous, Genocidal, Ex-cops, Generals & cronies. “Min Aung Hlaing’s policy is to promote those who can kill more people and repress the public more effectively, placing them in civilian roles while still maintaining military control” 1/

Kriegsverbrechen über die weitestgehend geschwiegen wird/ oder in der Tagesschau im Nachhinein zu Hisbollah Zielen erklärt werden

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

open.spotify.com/episode/3VDq... der Fall ist ja mittlerweile bekannter aber bitte das interview anhören, absolut geisteskrank wo wir inzwischen sind während die bösen Systeme immer die anderen sein sollen

Einer der Gründe warum keine Plattform den selben Twitter vibe wie vor ein paar Jahren haben wird, ist weil alle Plattformen voll von „chronically online Twitter hottakes“ sind. Banger wie „Reading Books is ableist“ ist jetzt einfach jedes einzelne rage bait Video auf Instagram/tiktok

I love self medicating. Without it I wouldn’t be able to do anything right now
