yes, the three worlds concept was actually invented by mao and has more to do with bloc alignment and less with economics. it is outdated and new terms are needed.

i was not aware of such a concept; it is interesting. i was thinking back in wwii, if they had a "hush puppies" campaign in lieu of loose lips etc. - it probably would have been mis-processed in my mind as well. puppies = yapping.

i am told by expats that you can use VPNs in china to get access to blocked sites; i am also told that the government generally turns a blind eye, especially to foreigners using VPNs. how they deal with chinese users, in terms of social cre

with nation-state resources, are there not traffic analysis options that could work?

yes, but not all countries smile on use of VPNs. i don't know about turkey but in others you can get in some trouble.

without wiki i don't know how i would have solved my problem sets in grad school. let's see how the academic performance improves in turkey.

if you were a particularly sinister CCP official, might you consider releasing a virus on purpose to quell the riots in HK? i have no evidence for this but from a cui bono perspective, it would be a diabolically efficient plan with some pla

thinking about it more, perhaps this was the intent; being a noncombatant country, silence among the citizens was perhaps promoted as an act of fortitude in furtherance of their self-preservation, which could be associated with the characte

ps, "fox" was a reference to the ylvis music video from 2014 or so. i thought perhaps in the scandinavian cultures foxes were associated with being quiet. universally, they are associated with being cautious and discreet. anyways,

thanks all for the clarifications. the only point i was making was that for some, the brain can be confused by seemingly contradictory imagery when the goal was to convey some wordplay. this might be lost on me because no such wordplay exis

yeah, i do get that, but maybe my mind processes it a bit differently. in my mind, tigers = roaring, aggressiveness. that just overcomes the psychological effect of the wordplay for me.

i don't have any feel for the swedish culture or for tigers. but the way my mind processes it, i think of roaring and territoriality when it comes to tigers, which diminishes the effect of the wordplay meant by the signage.

by mmhsieh 7y ago
i did read the very short page, but still, not being a swede, i suppose i just don't get it.

by mmhsieh 7y ago
a tiger is not an animal i associate with quietness. a swedish fox would make more sense.
