It should be illegal for blacks to read. Not that it would stop them they're already criminals and don't understand cause and effect. As a matter of principle.

Hasn't literacy has been falling across the board, but especially with men and boys? If this shit gets gen-z and gen-a boys to start reading then the skin color of the person providing the impetus doesn't matter at all.

He's right though. Kids can't read or write. Why would anything get better in the West? You need authoritarianism to clamp down on video games and Tiktok. China is doing well because they did that. But EU is fucked and U.S. is double fucked.
>>

> You need authoritarianism to clamp down on video games and Tiktok. China is doing well because they did that.
Their demographics are collapsing and they also have an entire generation of men with no future. They had growth because they were a bumfuckistan level country getting incredible capital investment to build out global manufacturing for decades. It’s equivalent to post war Europe growth patterns or post communism eastern Europe. This isn’t a sign authoritarianism did jack shit for them not even a sign of “health”. You just don’t get explosive growth in mature societies.

You may as well post up Nigeria as an example of how to run a country because they’re seeing a population boom and are slowly coming out of the stone age.

But don't you think this is one of those performative stunts? Like Lebron James having a book by MLK or Malcolm X in his hands in post-game interviews (coincidently always remaining at page 1). I'm sorry but I remain cynical, especially because I hate every internet celebrity with a passion and wish then nothing but the worst.
But this is just me so...
>>
>>25023453
It may not last but it's definitely not a stunt. He made an alternative channel with no following to post videos of his self-improvement journey, so far he's read 21 separate times in the span of 3 weeks, been taking multiple sewing lessons, and working out consistently. I like when big personalities show authenticity, it's like when Pewdiepie started posting about getting into reading or improving at drawing anime girls even if it is cringe.

Anon I do not give a fuck about gay ass made up GDP statistics or whatever. When I say China is doing well I'm talking about their universities are superceding ours, their quality of life is booming, their infrastructure is robust, and their arts are in a golden age.

It's not performative, he livestreams himself reading aloud + looking up words he doesn't know. Like >>25023476 said, it's on YouTube if you don't believe me.

Streamers always make a big deal when they start reading, they treat it like they're learning a new ancient language or something kek.

Livestreaming is his job, plus livestreaming it means he'll encourage others to do it. You seem like you're searching for a reason to get mad at someone trying to better themselves and I don't know why someone would feel that way
>>
>>25023600
I'm not the person you were talking to, you're projecting your perception of their intent on to me. I'm just pointing out that doing anything on livestream is inherently and by definition performative and that suggesting otherwise is worthy of mockery and name-calling. Retard.

>doing anything on livestream is inherently and by definition performative
In the barest, flattest sense of "performing for an audience," sure, but in the sense of "just pretending to do something in order to come across a certain way without actually doing the action" you're just wrong -- he's reading aloud, looking up unfamiliar words, etc. I guess you're going to pretend that you meant the first sense all along now
>you're projecting your perception of their intent
>worthy of mockery and name calling
Yeah, you seem like you're searching for a reason to get mad at someone trying to better themselves

Peter Zeihan cope posters are pathetic, and the Chinese will rule at least half the earth and probably more, but you are incorrect on the arts front. In that line they’re still very much the peasants they were 30 years ago even if everything else changed. India does better.

But you can’t really hold that against them. They’ve been the densest populated area on earth for the entirety of history, 90% living in one plain that takes up 15% of the country, and all tightly clustered around limited rivers/canals transportation instead of roads which can be built to anywhere.

It would be silly to expect them to be individualists capable of much in the realm of art. For the same reasons they are excellent when it comes to craft though.
>>

>you are incorrect on the arts front. In that line they’re still very much the peasants they were 30 years ago even if everything else changed. India does better.
You need to acquaint yourself with Chinese cinema. I can't speak for literature, because of language barriers. But Chinese cinema is in the midst of a renaissance. I can't even imagine on what front you think India beats them.

> It would be silly to expect them to be individualists
State-building required them to be collectivist. Now that the state and infrastructure are strong individualism is coming to the fore.

>state building
That’s a myopic view.
They have been collectivist for a very very long time, again due to being a mountain country with once central plain from which all culture radiates.
Their own “personality” or input beyond pure determinism came from the reliance on rivers rather than roads, pushing things even more towards concentrated urbanization.

>films
I took a look at these creators but their work doesn’t seem that well reviewed by the people who are out there looking for exactly that sort of thing and are more predisposed to glaze it up.

From the few examples of Chinese popular media I have seen, it is some of the lowest brow stuff ever created in the modern age.

Most of it is completely incomprehensible babble where temporal consistency and writing aren’t even considered. You’d have to be sub 70 iq to watch and be upset.

There are exceptions like the three kingdoms tv show which was enjoyable thanks to a great cast and not being written by the modern Chinese in its broad strokes.

But any Chinese anime, tv, film, video game that I have interacted with seems to the think plot, consistent characters, or just anything at all to do with writing and not with visuals is for western homosexuals.

Anyway, they are on the upswing and they do make excellent food and very inventive crafts when it comes to jewelry, paper, enamel, etc with some very fine work done.

Their cities are extremely fun to visit and overall quite beautiful in a vital, teenager covered in pimples and with weird proportions sort of way.

But art designed to be nothing but art, on that one point I see no evidence of their advance compared to what they’ve accomplished in all other areas.

You’re just obviously denying the obvious reality whilst also operating within a false frame of reality in which you can post an image like that which also suggests a bunch of things which are false in order to overload other people’s ability to process information so that they can’t call out your lies and prosecute you.
>>
>>25026880
"Obvious reality". You retards have no recourse but to your ideology.
> They had growth because they were a bumfuckistan level country getting incredible capital investment
This anon tries to comprehend the world entirely in GDP growth. "China just developed their economy because they had no economy beforehand." So how do you explain the fact that China's infrastructure, including in rail, is surpassing those of "developed" countries? How do you explain their research output surpasses the USA?
