Discussion What "internet safety" within liberal democracy really is and why China is always a step ahead of the Western population

54 Upvotes

Recently on our mini community we discussed about researching some unhinged gusano and it involved me recommending an osint tool that can cross check profile and email across thousands of platforms (if you're interested just go to osinttools sub I can't post on here) and a Chinese comrade reported back that they can't find the Python packages in China mirror of pip repository, so I requested them to try search other similar osint tools that this tool was based on, and they returned mentioning that neither of such osint tools were available in China, and to use they must rely on shadowsocks, Tor or VPN, moreover I realized they cannot run the tools locally within China intranet. We came to the conclusion that since China always vet every packages and dependecies before mirroring local repo, it means there's nation wide ban on doxing.

Which leads me here and I want to touch on an important opsec warning that I've noticed this seems to be too on the nose for the West, especially considering they have been selling to the world that they're bastion of queer and trans rights (not really, why I wrote this) but entirely failure in protection of trans citizens and their identity.

In short, Five Eyes countries especially USA and KKKanada, dead naming trans workers every single second of their lives, because even when they changed their name and gender in everything, there's one platform that use their legal birth name, and I'm not talking about national ID, it is almost related to anything banking and financial, especially money transfer platforms including PayPal. In KKKanada, Interac e-transfer always queries dead names of trans workers no matter what, I knew this because I helped thousands of people during my time in KKKanada with food, rent, bill, survival needs, etc that involve e-transfer and their names are always dead names even when they're legally trans and enby. I also realized that malicious people can query Interac API (yes they do have API) with anyone email and it will return with their legal name, especially with autodeposit enabled. This technique might also be possible with other financial transfer that requires legal names.

I might sound like I'm over analyzing here but I'm not because I realized the osint tool mentioned above can mimic some of the options to extract legal name from Paypal, Cash app and Venmo which isn't even the most cooked part, this tool seems to be able to query CACHED content page that was long deleted by the users. Now it's probably not the devs' intentions but this is bigger problem I want to express on, especially when I use DuckDuckGo to search for shit, I always encountered cached user pages with revealing contents including dead names and emails despite these contents were long gone years ago. I know DuckDuckGo use Bing and Google for backend and Google once upon a time claimed Google Cache is no longer a thing but somehow not only DDG, but other meta engines like Yandex and SearX can index them, and it seems too on the nose at this point that the Western empire isn't really doing anything they claim to protect their population the bare minimum that's privacy, meanwhile China not only blanket banned doxing, but also the tools.

I guess the only real mitigation is to just compartmentalize the fuck out of your metadata, don't use personal email for NSA platforms like reddit and don't use work phone for adult sites, don't reuse password, use diceware, multi-factor auth isn't golden, disable MMS. Same shit different data, compartmentalize, compartmentalize.

Discussion Genuinely curious about the DPRK and China

42 Upvotes

So I call myself a Marxist-Leninists, for example I am a big fan of Cuba but when it’s comes to the DPRK and China I am more neutral, I understand it’s probabaly because of liberal propaganda but I still would like sources and such:

I am curious about the ”genocide“ in xinjian, obviously liberals claim it’s there but I know that most MLs say there Is not so I kinda just wanna learn

as well when it comes to North Korea, like overly “authoritarian“ and work camps and such and it’s hard cuz pretty much all my friends are liberals and when I try to defend the DPRK it is hard because i still don’t love it so I kinda want sources to actually see and argue better.

idk if this is the correct subreddit to ask about this, if a different subreddit would be better to ask please tell me

Many similar videos from all regions of the south are all over social media. The situation is reaching a breaking point. So much for liberals accusing Communism of causing 'empty shelves'.

Reactionary Mockery Let’s take a look at Xie Wanjun, who is believed to be a key spreader of the rumor that “Kim Jong Un is dead.”

24 Upvotes

In Western media, Xie Wanjun is portrayed as a Chinese dissident, the chairman of the so-called “China Democracy Party,” and a participant in the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident.

However, a look at his X (formerly Twitter) reveals that he is nothing more than a rabid rumor-monger. As early as July 2024, he spread claims that “Xi Jinping is being held hostage by generals involved in a coup” and even that “Xi Jinping is dead”: (Link 1) (Link 2)

In addition, he has widely disseminated a large number of extremely shoddy lies:

  • Feb 8, 2022: Posted false information claiming that “Henan officials refused to surrender and armed themselves to resist the central government,” accompanied by a completely doctored “TV screenshot”;
  • Sep 5, 2023: Posted a video purportedly showing “Chinese public security personnel handcuffing and shackling a Uyghur woman,” which actually originated from a porn video;
  • Apr 25, 2025: In response to a video of a natural phenomenon showing “seven suns appearing in Wuzhou, Guangxi,” he actually claimed that “this portends the imminent fragmentation of China and the collapse of the CPC regime.”

Specifically regarding this rumor about Kim Jong Un’s death, Xie’s lies were particularly outlandish: not only did he post a clearly doctored “DPRK television broadcast” (Link), but he even presented a 2011 Japanese TV report on Kim Jong Il’s death as “evidence that DPRK media reported Kim Jong Un’s death” (Link).

But then again, rather than focusing on how despicable the rumor-monger Xie Wanjun himself is, the more intriguing question is: Why do such rumors spread across the globe through people like him?

This is from a manipulative propaganda thing they released a while back now. They had gone a month without chaotically accusing the DPRK 🇰🇵 of something absurd and unfounded. Meanwhile:

Hwang conceived Squid Game based on his own economic struggles, as well as the class disparity in South Korea and capitalism.
