Unironically, this is how things get better.

I was just thinking, "...and they're probably sorting all of this out."

kwullums.bsky.social•37 days ago

I'm so glad The Onion is here to get a reluctant grin out of me when I'm stressing out about the new world order. Thank you.

Probably would be the most productive, diplomatic meeting we'll have in years.

Anyone who wants secret links to Ali Express is welcome to follow me 🥳

liamliore.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is actually happening on RedNote.

davidgoesplaces.bsky.social•37 days ago

Unironic real diplomacy.

liamliore.bsky.social•37 days ago

People talking to people and exchanging cat pictures in mutual love of silly things instead of suits shouting at each other on Fox News XD

status402.bsky.social•37 days ago

Unless it's just mutual radicalization, I'd be legit interested in finding out what that's like.

liamliore.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's the casual exchanging of cat pictures and everyday american / chinese phrases. Not even joking

status402.bsky.social•37 days ago

That sounds exactly as low stakes as I'd hope for.

disengageddamsel.bsky.social•36 days ago

So far, from what I've seen its mostly people who want understanding and truth instead of propaganda. I wouldn't call that radicalization.

status402.bsky.social•36 days ago

So far, from what I've seen, you didn't read what you replied to. I wouldn't call that reading comprehension.

disengageddamsel.bsky.social•36 days ago

Sigh…🙄

jonnyv.bsky.social•37 days ago

Rednote right now

suomikim.bsky.social•37 days ago

Red Note is blazing the way...

Tbh, if common people from the two countries talked, it could lead to good things...

Ding dong diplomacy

notquietmodemd.bsky.social•37 days ago

The parties issued an official Joint Statement at the end of the 2 game conference: “Yo this is like yuge fuckin progress and shit.”

melymj4.bsky.social•37 days ago

100% better than whatever our current politicians and world "leaders" are doing

yulriddick.bsky.social•37 days ago

Our non-movers and shakers, pre crypto billionaire status.

joeypeters.bsky.social•37 days ago

the jinese jommunist party hired the chinese schlumb for nefarious reasons and to hide that they did 9-covid

thehandsomedev.bsky.social•36 days ago

"you like reganmian?"
"huh?"

0snail0.bsky.social•37 days ago

May they both share interests, including complaining about all women, governments, and food while doing nothing to fix their situation.

docconrad.bsky.social•37 days ago

this is what I was made to do

belnbrunn.bsky.social•37 days ago

So much actual shit could get done if some normal people sat down and talked out problems.

eggs-and-dice.bsky.social•37 days ago

I told a woman from Australia to fuck off the other day

mobiushireen.bsky.social•37 days ago

See? Progress!

almostjc.bsky.social•37 days ago

Honestly way more in common than they’d thing

vanredd.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wouldn’t it be funny if all us schlubs meeting on rednote led to world reaching class solidarity?

trollblod.bsky.social•37 days ago

The sooner the people of the world, the regular average folks, start regularly engaging with each other the better.

We should be working together to better our species and our beautiful planet. Not pumping up shareholder value until we're worm food.

elizphotoclique.bsky.social•37 days ago

😁

satanistswon.bsky.social•36 days ago

You made me laugh but seriously that is what is about to happen.

ndhm.bsky.social•36 days ago

Actually I think most countries could get along if it was only schlub-level talks.

vonbuzzthoven.bsky.social•37 days ago

My Uncle Abe would be GREAT at this.

timthelitch.bsky.social•36 days ago

Truth is we’re all just people, A man from china would probably get along just fine with a US citizen (Granted there’s not this crazy thing called a language barrier). It’s a shame really, how we often stereotype entire countries based off their government rather than the individuals in them.

worldoffoo.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tribalism is difficult thing to get past, it's a major human instinct. The truth is we have more in common than we have apart though. At the end of the day, we all want the same things. Food, shelter, and community.

fry69.dev•37 days ago

"Dude, your movies are cool!"

"Yeah, and I like that you put our phones together for cheap."

"That is hard work! But our leader Xi promised we will rule the world if we build enough cheap phones. U okay with that?"

"Sure, let's split the world up between us."

"Deal!"

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•37 days ago

"I hate the US government."
"I also hate the US government."
"Did we just become best friends!?"
"Fuck you."

this would never happen because they would actually get stuff done and we can't have that.
