[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

🀌 also illustrates a β€œchef’s kiss” motion that someone might do when they make something delicious or are really impressed by something.

It's funny seeing it out of nowhere when you're used to it being like giving someone the middle finger.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 points 4 months ago

I’ve only seen it in films.

ooh ty, can you provide a resource to understand the distinction or if someone else can corroborate, i can edit the title

Its a heavy read but insightful.

Although China nowadays is considered socialist with a hybrid economic system. confusing country but isn't Leninist or Marxist, unless you squint

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

many thanks πŸ‘πŸ‘

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be honest its a Frankenstein's Monster of a political philosophy so maoist maybe too narrow of a term, maybe itll fit with the 1989 Tiananmen square protests but not sure. Not a historian just know China isn't cookie cutter socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist..

[–] egonallanon@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Surely China would be best described as dengost at this point?

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

is there a resource i can look into this with, searching the term "dengost" brings up medical, adding philosophy also serves strange results and adding china brings up dentistry in china :/

[–] egonallanon@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

I misspelt sorry I meant Dengist. Named after Deng Xiaoping who was a leader of the ccp after Maos death and his political ideology is a big part of china's current political landscape. I dont have any resources though I know he wrote a couple of books that will be a good resource.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

it isnt marxist only if you are taking just the ussr as a reference point for marxism.

[–] Pyro@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

That's such a refreshing attitude

"so i posted a picture of winnie the pooh, which was the style at the time"

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was going to say "lol, why do we have to be Milhouse?" but then I thought about it and yeah, we're totally Milhouse.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 7 points 4 months ago

ngl i tacked the logos on utterly randomly so there is no intended meaning there πŸ˜›

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Something new happened visible in the West?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well, I guess we could make memes about Xi Jinping removing his own term limits, being elected by 98% of congress (somebody was absent), burning down temples, sending troops to quell protests, filling in the sea, splattering harmful rocket fuel and sometimes parts from booster engines across populated areas, attacking Philippine fishing boats, or the concentration camps. Idk. Seem kind of in poor taste. Except for filling in the sea, thats got potential.

How about a meme about homeless people who have assigned homes outside of the district they live and work in.

Smash sparrows?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Perhaps memes as a form of criticism of socioeconomic structures headed by authoritarianism is only something dumbasses like maoists do?

Nah, what am I saying, everything and anything can and should be made fun of.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml -2 points 4 months ago

Honestly we are tired of it too. Need more creativity

[–] marcos@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty boring to keep beating that dead horse. The fact that people keeping moving it around to pretend it's alive adds a bit of entertainment, but most of the "ha-ha look at that dumb clown" variety, not of the "let's do something about it" one.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

as everyone knows, bad meming is one of the most atrocious acts imaginable

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Definitely worse than whatever definitely didn't happen at Tiananmen square

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 14 points 4 months ago

unambiguously

And there certainly wasn't a neighborhood where your highway on-ramp currently is.
