Let's go dystopia, let's go! *clap clap*

Wonderful episode. Wish Cody could discuss belt and road initiative in more detail and how China took over Sri Lankan port due to debt.

Damn, you guys missed the best potential use of humor on this topic (I can't figure out how to do humor, but y'all're the experts). China's counter-terrorism policies: imprisoning hundreds of thousands in re-education camps to try to eliminate the jihadist ideology that had spread there (which, ironically, is linked to China's support alongside the US for the mujahedin in Afghanistan in the 80s). US counter-terrorism policies: invading two countries illegally, resulting in the death of about a million human beings, several million more refugees, drone bombing several more countries, torture, and extraordinary rendition. All I can think of is riffing off Bill Hicks - which country is the one standing up for Muslim human rights again?

P.S. Hong Kong isn't just Hong Kong island - there's also Kowloon and the New Territories.

Wait, what's this 100% is all the things bullshit? I was informed we could put in at least 120%

Gloomhaven reference? Hell yeah!

Thomas Johansen

Proud to be viewing from the country's vagina... Apparently

So I actually enjoy the ads. Could they be available separately for patroons to watch? Am I gong to have to rewatch the Youtube video for normies?

The hypocritical argument about any of China's problems always rings hollow for me because it's the GO TO argument anytime someone points out an issue with China. Like, I now instinctively get the feeling SMN is partially funded by China because it comes up each and every time these discussions occur by bad faith Chinese actors. It muddies the waters and makes discussion unproductive. We don't compare the US to other countries when talking about problems in the US or the MANY crimes committed by the US. Is there literally anyone watching these videos that doesn't think what the US does is f'ed up? Should we take an opposing stance, and say that "well, the US does bad stuff but China has done worse things, so no one should talk about the US?" Why don't we do similar things when talking about Brazil, Russia, or North Korea?

Please get your blood pressure checked, Cody, the facial flushing when you raise your voice is concerning.

Eh… I understand this is an American channel and everything, but I can’t help but feel like maybe we don’t need to (always) comment on atrocities committed by China through the lens of America? I had high hopes when I saw the title of this video but it just kinda goes in on USA way too much… also, calling them “reeducation camps” and not “concentration camps” is pretty upsetting… I don’t want to be a cringe Karen who says “do better” but I just can’t help but feel like this video does a lot of service to misinformed tankies…

I'm not sure I understand the comments here about the focus of this video on the US. Cody freely admits that he doesn't have solutions. Do the commenters here have them? I don't see any in the comments. What else is there for us misinformed tanks to do except look inward? I'm very badly paraphrasing a maxim I once heard, but it reminds me of something like it: "When you see someone more worthy than you, look to them. When you see someone less worthy than you, look to yourself."

I fell behind for a couple weeks so I’m way late to the party, but a couple things: First, the subject of Chinese imperialism is unwieldy and every contribution to the ongoing conversation around it is necessarily imperfect and incomplete. The idea that anyone needs to choke and die over this episode is extremely silly. (But you know that.) It was fair and balanced and highly informative, and you’re all as sexy as you’ve ever been. Second, that’s two consecutive episodes now where Cody’s adorable dog has made an appearance. Since there’s literally no other explanation, I assume this is a direct response to my bitching about the lack of cute animals in the last Behind the Showdy, so just wanna say thanks for absolutely curating your content around my specific interests. But um, being serious though, that was a very well-timed endorphin hit thank you please do more

Please caption your videos.

Did this video get taken down? And why hasn't the non-Patreon video also been removed?
