Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

(If you're saying it like bye-zoo-oh, you're not saying it in perfect mandarin :P)

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How is it pronounced? For future reference

[–] ReadFanon@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bye-tswoh, with a sharp ending on the oh, so not like an ohhhh that you'd say when you're yawning but similar to the end sound like when you say "wut?" or the o sound when you say "opposition"

Tucker's wrong here.

What on earth made you think that?

[–] SunriseParabellum@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was the only person I ever saw use the term.

What on earth caused you to have such a dramatic reaction to what I said?

[–] CaptainRipcord@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just think seeing a person use a word then jumping to the conclusion that they are the only one to use the word is weird, that's all lol

I followed a fair amount of Chinese speaking leftists on the bird site at the time and none of them ever used it so yeah, I thought he was fairly unique in that regard.

Wow. A transgender person that has a public career and adopted 3 kids. This person's life would absolutely hell in the so called "democratic west".

Like Caitlyn Jenner? The one who killed a person and never saw the inside of jail cell?

Turns out being rich in america puts you above the political class, what a revelation.

[–] Ronin_5@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It’s the same everywhere, because it’s the main contradiction. I’m just pointing out that intersections like trans are nuanced and when comparing between countries, it’s important to compare within classes.

So a rich transgendered person within one country is going to have a much different experience than a poor transgendered person even within the same country, much less a different country.

In china they execute billionares and allow working class trans people to live unimpeded lives

[–] Ronin_5@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Biased if true. But there are lots of billionaires who are in the party, so it’s not like reaching billionaire status automatically warrants execution.

And being trans has nothing to do with that.

It doesnt, but in China they arrest the corrupt ones, execute the ones who kill and keep the well behaved ones on a tight leash.

In the US we let them fuck children on epstein pedo islands, kill with impunity then aplogize for stepping on there feet.

Oversimplification, but still. Have a picture lmao

Change the dollar to a yuan symbol and I’ll be inclined to upvote.

[–] swiftessay@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, well, well, isn't that just the thing that we say all the time? That in capitalism the primary division is class and all the other ones are contingent on that.

[–] Ronin_5@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

Sure, it’s said. But it’s often forgotten in analysis.

Because the primary division is class, you need to account for class when making analysis for anything else.

So, if you’re making a claim that trans people are more well off in China vs America, with a rich trans woman celebrity in China as an example, then you need to compare that to a rich trans woman celebrity in America.
