    Imagine being so addicted to low effort effort memes destroying your attention span that, given an opportunity to break free, you double down and prostitute yourselves to a hostile foreign power.

      I consider the domestic powers that be to be hostile to people of low net worth, aka most of the people they govern, so there’s that.

      When your own society treats you like a disposable capital battery that will gladly kill you when it finally breaks you, like by denying your necessary healthcare in a vast insurance confidence scheme, it’s strange to expect allegiance.

      The United States is very clear that we’re on our own, “free” to die in the streets. I find it strange that some Americans take offense to other Americans taking their business elsewhere.

        I take issue with Americans taking their business to foreign governments that are happily and gleefully accelerating the corruption of said domestic powers into the exact behavior that is causing Americans to want to shop elsewhere.

        It’s going “I dislike how my government is treating me, so I’m going to support the people that are contributing to why my government is treating me that way.”

          That is just sad.

          Our capitalist’s Greed, avarice, the desire to treat their countrymen as livestock so they can live as modern pharoahs on our back and the willingness to bribe their own regulators and capture the government with their capital (power) they’re only supposed to have a single vote in is why the government treats us as livestock.

          It’s ridiculous you think China made our owner class act as murderous sociopaths in order to amass their ridiculous hoards.

          The CCP had nothing to do with our for profit healthcare insurance sector murdering their own customers, our citizens with the approval of both parties, when they become inconvenient to private profit as just one of countless examples. China has their own sins, that isn’t one of them.

          We are the primary vector destabilizing governments and waging wars to expand our greed disease around the world to keep resources and markets open to our capitalist’s exploitation because it’s never fucking enough. No one forced us into that. Our owners just demanded moar.

          If you want Americans to be loyal, establish social and economic equity. Until then, don’t expect the tortured masses to thank or appreciate their torturers, let alone have loyalty to them. That’s just Stockholm syndrome.

            That’s a nice big load of nonsense you have there. Unfortunately for you, it’s already been proven that Chinese interests are funding anti-american/Republican think tanks, non profits, and politicians.

      Imagine being so unaware that you think memes are all there is. Recipes, cooking, fashion, sciences, education, music and everything else in high quality high effort are also over there. So you’re just wrong lol.

    I’m so tempted to try it out, but I just really don’t like downloading a “random” APK without at least knowing if there’s a way to verify there’s nothing malicious in the app.

    Chinese or otherwise, it’s all the same. Took me forever to trust the newpipe download… I’m just too cautious I guess.

      Good, that means you’re smarter than all the people in this thread using it.

        Feeling superior for not investigating is the sign of a very smart individual.

        After all, since you know everything, there’s no reason to even try to learn.

      it’s available on Apple’s Store and Google Play at least in my region. So it’s subject to the same restrictions and oversight every other app available through those platforms is, at least.

      You can use it in a browser, but it looks like only the phone version has an option for english menus.

        Thanks for verifying! I tried looking last night but it just kept trying to have me download the app. I’ll have to look again

          You can browse without an account by going to the site and clicking x at the the login popup.

          You can’t comment or read long comment chains, there’s probably some other places where the popup blocks you.

    The number of “I don’t have anything against LGBT+ people, just keep it to yourself” takes is kinda depressing. Though the algo has mostly stopped serving me posts those people comment on and gives me gay furry shit as god intended.
