"Bai Lan" is kicking Winnie the Pooh's ass. China's suppression of private for-profit tutoring, killed millions of jobs, billions in revenue & ambition in today's generation.
And now hopelessness has taken hold of China's youth.

@icedquinn or they see the shite that is going on and decide that #planking is a more effective strategy than getting killed by the state?

Because that is not only normal in #Germamy but should be around the world.
"#QuietQuitting" is a slur to insult #WageWorkers!

Tja, ein guter Teil der Jugend hat auch Hierzulande aus Perspektivlosigkeit aufgegeben, bei uns wird das nur nicht so richtig thematisiert.
China’s Slacker Youths: Why They Went From ‚Lying Flat’ To ‚Let It Rot’
„Tang Ping” (leżeć płasko) był ruchem z 2021 roku, który odrzucał kulturę pracy w Chinach. Teraz przemienił się w bardziej ekstremalny „Bai Lan” (pozwolić gnić). Co stoi za tym nowym zjawiskiem?

Reading up on this whole Bai Lan movement in China is pretty interesting. It's basically people giving up on the system because it's so stacked against them that there's no point in trying.
I guess there's people in the West that think similarly, but I don't reckon it's been quite as thoroughly enshrined in thinking as it has been with young people in China.
Maybe the best way to bring a system down is to not participate.
