I leave you with this quote from Rajani Palme Dutt:
>As an example of the[…] this reactionary propaganda […] an article prominently published in the millionaire-owned Sunday Express under the title, "Make Way for the Small Man," denouncing the illusion of "Progress" and the failure of "mass production," and calling for the return to "the small owner" as the ideal: "The unit of the State is the self-supporting farm with first thoughts for subsistence and only second thoughts for the market-which might be mainly next door and consist of craftsmen supplying the needs of neighboring farms. "This simple farm-and-craft relationship is essential to the health and wealth of any civilisation […] We should try to recover it." (Sunday Express, January 15, 1933.) Naturally the finance-capitalists would be highly indignant if this infantile propaganda, which they broadcast by the most highly developed "mass production" [for the purpose of confusing] their readers, were suggested to be seriously applied […]https://marxistleninists.org/Reference/Palme%20Dutt/chapter%203.htm Zhibo gonghui: China’s ‘live-streaming guilds’ of manipulation experts

>In China, the live-streaming industry boasts 587 million users worth 961 billion yuan in 2020. With so many live-streamers clamoring for fame and fortune, the sheer competition catalyzes the rise of ‘live-streaming guilds’ (zhibo gonghui) that help members elevate themselves in the performance charts of the various live-streaming apps. In this article, we conducted ethnographic research in one such guild that contracted its business from the live-streaming platform Zhubei. By conceptualizing these guilds as collectives of manipulating ‘algorithmic experts’, we argue that they optimize their live-streamers’ performance according to algorithmic parameters that the platforms themselves reveal. >However, guilds manipulate audience affects more, <going so far as to use heterosexual male workers to masquerade as female live-streamers to entice straight male audience members to tip generously.😀🫢🤯🤔😃
>As such, we challenge the still-prevalent epistemological assumption that live-streamers work alone, and the received wisdom that platform algorithms are unknown and unknowable.Chinese collective consciousness is so smart they can even fathom TikTok's algorithm, incredible
>>2310847isn't this standard practice worldwide
I actually had a job offer once of chatting in english on behalf of a bunch of eastern european camgirls
they don't know a lick of english, but their audience is mostly westoids, so they hire men with good english to chat with the viewers lol
>>2314888>how/why CCP would sound more ominousBecause it reminds ppl of the CCCP. It's intentional, planned propaganda.
Shut the fuck up, btw.
>>2314915I think the word "communist" does more to remind people of the Soviet Union tbh. Anyway I'm glad you agree CCP is a closer direct translation than CPC. The only valid complaint is that it's not consistent with the english naming convention used by the comintern, which does annoy me a little bit but I'm not gonna go around accusing Chinese citizens of being CIA over it.
(Although the comintern naming convention in other languages was "[Country] Communist Party" rather than "Communist Party of [Country]", as you can see in the case of China for example)
>>2314925You didn't make a counter argument, and still haven't. The correct translation is
"China Communist Party". Learn Chinese if you're gonna weigh in on what is or isn't a faithful translation, idiot.
>>2314930The CPC calls itself CPC in its official English language organs.
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
>>2314942Who gives a fuck about the comintern? What matters is how China wants to be called in United Nations documentation. CPC is the official English designation used by the party itself in international contexts (like UN documents and Chinese state media like Xinhua) The U.N also always refers to the party as the CPC because they diplomatic protocols.
The only group of people that INSIST on calling it the CCP are the westerners in their internal propaganda and what's funny is even the americans will fall in line and call them the CPC in official diplomatic readouts.
There's a subtle difference between the two in english nobodies mentioned, CPC emphasizes the national role and CCP emphasizes the ideological, the former being a scare tool for the previously mentioned propaganda
>>2314942how are you wrong about literally everything moffin its honestly impressive
