    @deegeese @TheDarksteel94 you understand it was a Chinese site first, right, and that Americans decided to use it? The Chinese government owns 50% of every company in China, that's "Communism with Chinese characteristics"

        @piccolo well sure, but "Communism with Chinese characteristics" is a line that the CCP has used to control the working class in mainland China for decades.
