Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN commenters link it during 2020 coronavirus threads as supposed evidence about exotic animal markets in China, rather than recommending it.
A video by expat YouTuber serpentza about animal-eating practices and hygiene in China, presented as showing what the country's authorities do not want seen.
Chinese have been known to eat all kind of exotic wild animals for medicinal and recreational reasons. The government may be trying to curb this, but a large portion of Chinese are still rural and food superstitions are rife, the regulation is not that easy I suppose. [this video]
Totally agree. And here is a video to prove it [this video] CCP is also lying on the numbers of deaths and treatment of people in quarantine. Where their apartments are sealed from outside and they are left to die. I saw several videos from Wuhan where seemingly normal people are collapsing in the street and dying.
You say my iPhone example is nonsense yet you speak about wealth accumulation in a way that supports my example. You ignore other countries falling the exact same faults as you say Capitalism You seem to support a democracy where a majority could vote to oppress a minority You blame me for suggesting a world "without government" which is extreme intellectual dishonesty, especially when I mention limited _government_. Then you, once again, point at the problems with the US that are Cronyism, not Capitalism. Living in the USSR is nothing more than an anecdote, the same way Mainland Chinese claim wrongs about China, probably without even knowing[0]. I'm sorry, but this is the point where I leave this discussion, as it seems to go nowhere. I suggest you read a little about the quality of life in the 1950s in the US, before Cronyism caught up to it, and compare it to the quality of life in the USSR at the time. [0]: Warning, difficult to watch. [this video]
Linked as a difficult-to-watch example about China.
former expat in China, youtuber serpentza, finally unleashed the hounds with his experiences about animal eating over there: [this video] Hard to argue with. Totally gross, too. But I love eating cows, chickens and fish and see dogs as companions so whatever.
Former expat's experiences about animal eating in China.
It’s worth pointing out that it was dangerous for him to highlight the bad parts of China while he was still living there. In one of his videos he mentioned that during his time in China he had recorded a lot of footage but he was understandably afraid to publish it (I believe he partly addresses it in this video unless my memory is failing me: [this video] ). I personally like this video a lot: [link] . It talks a bit about why the rest of the world had no masks or other medical equipment when the Wuhan Virus spread outside of China. There’s also another foreigner who was semi-famous in China that’s now making funny videos about China (e.g. [link] ).
