How many people are actually supportive of their government in China, Vietnam, and Cuba?
As we all know. The national language of China is English and the most popular website in China is Twitter.

Barbie Movie Banned in Vietnam over Showing 9 Dash Line.
Reply in thread
Yeah can any Vietnamese comrades weigh in. Vietnamese people on tiktok are saying they banned it for the 9 dash line showing up in a different scene than the one in the trailer but idk.
also sidenote: it's nice to see that even on tiktok of all places vietnamese people are generally supportive of their own gov't actions and aren't doing a "freeze peaches" meltdown.

Trans people in china, laws, advocacy groups and general acceptance
Reply in thread
You can't really attribute this to conservatism when traditional Chinese values are generally much more accepting of trans[2] and gay people[1] than their western counterparts. It's similar to the situation in India where westerners spread their homophobic ideals through their colonies and in the modern day through their media power, and we get the blame for it. Bilibili and Baidu comments are generally made up of xenophile liberals (they have polandball videos on bilibili for pete's sake). Although I will admit casual transphobia was pretty common at least circa 2010s.

MLM relationships generally didn't carry a stigma in ancient times. I can't really cite anything on attitudes towards other LGBTQ+ people
though.

Diaspora really isn't reflective of the culture in China. In CaptainCool07's case he got drawn into the conservative side of US culture wars simply because many "progressive" polices and politicians (especially in San Francisco) openly discriminate against Asians.
The traditional Chinese position on LGBTQ+ was generally more progressive than the standard liberal position up until the 2000s. For example negativity towards homosexual relations didn't really exist until westernization in the 19th century on[1]. In regards to trans issues it seems that like in many cultures there just wasn't a conception of trans people, but at the minimum crossdressing had no stigma[2]. Personally I don't think hostility towards western values is unfounded when it was western values that introduced homophobia in the first place. As a someone who is Bi I personally think arguments that appeals to traditional values or marxism are going to be much more effective than reusing western liberal idpol rhetoric.

They're from 4chan, they were never not reactionary. The side profile thing in particular came from racist feuding between northern european white supremacists and greek white supremacists.

I don't think that's a healthy attitude to have. India has had plenty of space achievements and as a Chinese person I hope they achieve plenty more whether that is in cooperation or competition with the CNSA.

I finally watched that one Britmonkey video about everything banned in China after avoiding it for years, and they claim that the word "disagree" is banned on Chinese social media.

"people's republic of amnesia". Another tired screed by some diaspora shitlib with no real primary sources. Tell me, do you think an AK47 only holds 4 bullets?
There's multiple pictures showing people with makeshift firearms in anti-CCP sites showing pictures from the incident.
Here's a fun quote from wikipedia:
"Meanwhile, protesters used student loudspeakers in various university campuses in Beijing to call for students and citizens to arm themselves and assemble at intersections and the Square.[68]"
Real peaceful.

I'm Chinese like I said. but still, ISRO doing well is one of those things that benefits everyone. Yeah the nationalism involved in space stuff is cringe but I'd still rather all the agencies achieve great things. Except for the ones that buy muskshit fuck spacex.

Should we add guns to lemmycraft? (options inside)
We should make a lemmycraft feedthebeast server so we can develop productive forces (in minecraft). Also achieve fully automated post scarcity socialism (in minexraft). Most industrial farms in vanilla involve enslaving villagers.

This may be a silly question, but how can leftism co-exist with religions that promote bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance?
It doesn't. But you're begging the question. There are plenty of religions that don't promote bigotry. Ex. in China the mosques aren't even gender segregated (the movement to do this actually predates Communism and started in the late-Qing/Republican Era), on the flip side religions like the Falungong which are anti-science and promote racial segregation are persecuted and mostly have to exist in exile in the US.
This idea that you either have to tolerate every single religion without judgement or be an edgy atheist that hates all religions is mostly the result of the West's history of sectarian religious conflicts.
