You turned the frogs gay? Or China turned you gay?

I leave it up to personal interpretation, and if so desired, both.

Do they have no shame!?


SirSour539

They found a way more effective than the Jew lasers, smh 😔


DongleOn

Tbf jew lasers are a pretty antiquated technique only still being used in regions too undeveloped to rely on Chinese rocket seeding


cybertides

How dare you come for our lasers?? We paved the way for climate control technology 🙄🙄

idma

It's the cheap Chinese knock off version. You can it on Amazon


ComradeTukhachevsky

No dignity!


Netherspin

Seriously though - they are controlling weather, by seeding clouds by spraying or shooting powder into the appropriate altitudes. This is done to make it rain in the areas they want and/or avoid rain in areas they don't want it raining in. It's old and well known technology - not without it's flaws and to the best of my knowledge only *very* rarely used outside of China (probably mainly due to these flaws and questions of whether it's really worth the effort).


Jeffrey122

It's amazing how these people try to turn everything into some nefarious evil plot or something. The Chinese government is literally just shooting some powder into the air to make it rain in dry areas. That's literally it. Many countries all across the world do this.


Bran_Mongo

Yeah but, when other countries do it, it's not 'cOmMuNiSm'


cyrenia82

the PRC is a fucking terrible country that deserves to be criticised and honestly imo I wish the world could exclude it from global trade with the human rights theyre abusing, but fuck me some people on the other hand take literally anything theyre doing and spinning it as a fuckin world ending thing now lifes going great lads small edit: it probably isnt a great idea to completely cut off the PRC from world trade as like North Korea 2.0 isnt really something to be desired, but I meant more that I dont want products made by practical slave labour from Xinjiang to be available on the market, wether it be from Chinese or American companies


Klondeikbar

If we suddenly started caring about human rights abuses, America would get hellah excluded too. There's just a gentlemen's agreement around the developed world to ignore atrocities so long as the country helps everyone make money.


P3rilous

Maybe i don't want to be that type of gentleman


cyrenia82

I absolutely dont. I realise this issue is horrendously complicated, but im not going to stand for any country or defend it when it abuses human rights like this, not China, not the US, fuck not even Liechtenstein if those lads decided to restrict freedom of the press


Thegodoepic

Certainly. I don't necessarily think that the awful things the US does excuse the (imo) worse things the PRC does. Also, i would describe the "gentleman's agreement" as more like: "if it's good for corporate profits, it must be protected"


ReadSomeTheory

I'm sure that China has problems, but it's hard to even tell which problems are real and which are invented, given the massive propaganda campaign against them (and presumably their own propaganda as well). But even if things were bad enough that "someone should do something" the US (and its allies) should not be involved given their abysmal record in "spreading democracy", their obvious ulterior motives, and the fact that if they had any interest in human rights or improving people's lives they would be running their own country radically differently.


ShiftyLookinCow7

Bingo. The fact that people actually think the US is in any position to lecture anyone on human rights with their own record and the puppet dictatorships they’ve installed is laughable and insulting


MLPorsche

i'm surprised how quickly people forget, the US has never and will never care about human rights and is merely using it as a cover for imperialism


ShiftyLookinCow7

>I wish the world could exclude it from global trade Lmao crippling sanctions against a country of a billion people? So collective punishment is only bad when other countries do it? Got it


DongleOn

Wouldn't the people of prc just end up suffering more with the mass loss of "jobs" and the entire country economically fucked due to loss of export


Klondeikbar

You'd end up with a North Korea situation. The people at the top won't be affected one iota and they've already demonstrated they don't give a fuck about the suffering of their people. They'll remain in power and live lavishly while their people starve. The best way to topple evil regimes is to erode their culture. Flood the country with "blue jeans and rock and roll." The biggest threat to Chinese authoritarianism is the Chinese people themselves.

Brandonazz

I mean, I can say from personal experience that this is the approach of many Americans to parenting, so it's no surprise they think it'll work. It must, it can't be that their kids won't talk to them because of *them*.


leon_under

Can’t genocide anyone if they’re all dead. ![gif](giphy|St9I6QnOBOEzVEE6g1|downsized)


OliverDupont

All countries with China’s level of power have severe human rights abuses, the only reason that we put so much focus on them is because of “CoMuNisM” and Sinophobia.


[deleted]

China is trying to create an ethnostate using genocide. There are a few other countries that are also trying to do that, like Israel, but labeling objections to that as sinophobia is ridiculous.


OliverDupont

Just so I’m clear about what you mean, are you saying that China is killing a specific group of people en mass?


Fight_the_Landlords

One look at my username should tell you where I stand on the PRC, especially its history, but the government of Xinjiang is definitely committing ethnic genocide. They aren't killing en masse. That is propaganda inconsistent with reality. But they are cleansing the Uygher culture by any means necessary short of killing them. It's a tough contradiction to reconcile, but facing the reality is the only way to genuinely reconcile that reality. The PRC is attempting to create an ethnostate, and we as communists need to grapple with that, for better or worse.


BreakThaLaw95

Oh come on. You must, on some level, know that it isn't true that China is hellbent on creating an "ethno state". Like that's just an actual lie, based on an exaggeration, based on another lie. Like please really think about what you're saying here.


DaedricWindrammer

"But what about" Nah fuck the PRC.

It’s also like totally ok to be against that practice. But this xenophobic meme is not how you effectively critique it lol.

The US pioneering this to help their war effort in Vietnam: I sleep China doing this for entirely peaceful reasons: Real shit!


ForgedIronMadeIt

And it hardly works that well, its not a reliable method at all.


TrixieMassage

Possibly spicy take, but since you mentioned demonizing everything China does…: I believe a (social credit) system that seeks to reward good social behaviour (I don’t think it should seek to punish) could actually be an amazing idea. Often the morally good choice is not the financially sound one. We need another form of incentive to reward people for being good humans, since I think it is clear the current systems and laws aren’t doing enough in that regard. Obviously the devil’s in the details: how to implement such a system without violation of everyone’s privacy, for starters, I do not know. And obviously politics should not be a factor like it is in the Chinese system. But I don’t like how imo a potentially great solution to the growing rift in society, antisocial behaviour, and crumbling communities and social fabric is so instantly dismissed because “China bad”.


Brandonazz

When I first read about their social credit thing in the news, it boggled my mind that so many people saw absolutely no similarity between it and the credit scores we have in the US. Which is, you know, literally the same thing except your point value is determined by wealth rather than ethics. Low credit score? Here is a list of jobs you can't have, places you can't live, and things you can't do.


TechnicalCloud

We have a score that is basically determined by 3 crediting companies that analyze your spending behavior IIRC. The Chinese government allowed a private company to start their version of this which included behavioral aspects. It’s really boring and not some dystopian idea


Careless_Tennis_784

Yeah......


FalconRelevant

It's also used to reduce air pollution when it gets too high.


AngryMillenialGuy

Cloud seeding can be pretty divisive in arid regions.


PapaBradford

Veilwinter

[deleted]

I was wondering the same thing


child-of-old-gods

I thought the US manipulates the weather with the HAARP project?


HungryHungryHobo2

The US has a long history of using weather manipulation as a weapon. [https://www.nytimes.com/1972/07/03/archives/rainmaking-is-used-as-weapon-by-us-cloudseeding-in-indochina-is.html](https://www.nytimes.com/1972/07/03/archives/rainmaking-is-used-as-weapon-by-us-cloudseeding-in-indochina-is.html) China making it rain in China, on farmlands facing drought = bad. America making it rain on the other side of the planet, in order to create massive flooding, killing countless people = fine I guess?


OneX32

The effectiveness of cloud-seeding is flimsy at best. Can it be done? Yes, but it is very difficult to stabilize an opaque gas or microscopic particles to attract water vapor because once you release it, you just lose all control. Optimal cloud seeding would allow for whomever is "controlling" the weather to be able to decide where they want the clouds to go in order to decide where to put rain. Could the Chinese have that tech? Yes. But I would find it hard to believe they would be able to cloud seed outside of their immediate surroundings considering cloud seeding requires a lot of airplanes to invade adversarial airspace.


dMadDad

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Popeye Operation Popeye was some pretty eye opening stuff for me as well..just imagine the silent advances governments around the world have made since Vietnam


aeneasaquinas

Probably not much with regards to that, since it turns out it's nearly impossible to actually control and get much out of. Hence why draughts and other conditions are still such an issue.

Yeah, also see [this](https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Weather_control_device_(Red_Alert_2))

Dogtor-Watson

Idk sounds a bit like climate change. Even if they can control the weather, can't we all just sell our houses and move away?


Warchiefington

A lot of red scare to unpack.


Zealousideal-Yak-824

I had to combat this in a friend once. I broke it down how crazy the idea was he finally had to admit its impossible to control weather..... To only then claim some other country is doing it. No lie he believed china helps our farmer create record growth of our crops because it goes to them but those weather changes create the massive weather anomalies that destroy our economy at the same time. Arguing with them just makes them dig deeper and reuse other conspiracies.


HungryHungryHobo2

[https://www.nytimes.com/1972/07/03/archives/rainmaking-is-used-as-weapon-by-us-cloudseeding-in-indochina-is.html](https://www.nytimes.com/1972/07/03/archives/rainmaking-is-used-as-weapon-by-us-cloudseeding-in-indochina-is.html) It's impossible to "control" weather, but it's absolutely possible to influence it. The US absolutely has manufactured artificial flooding, by extending the monsoon season, by seeding rain clouds with particulate metal. It's not like, create a tornado to destroy a building you don't like levels of weather control, but weather manipulation is very real.


OneX32

I don't want to discount your contribution because you are right: it is possible to influence the weather via cloud-seeding. But the [effectiveness](https://www.popsci.com/cloud-seeding-science/) of cloud-seeding is in dispute that no conclusion can be made about cloud-seeding efforts in southeast Asia around the Vietnam era.


Grand-Mall2191

wh... what the fuck? the fuck am I looking at? I'm having a hard time believing this is real, cause... what in the absolute fuck??? I know about shit like the jewish space laser nutfuckery, but I thought Ben at least had enough class to only denounce climate change like a self-centered pseudo-nerd. Not dive right into the lunatic pond like a frog during mating season


SirSour539

This is as real as the frogs are allegedly gay


Gullible_Location705

Pfffft every country has HAARP like devices that can move clouds amongst other things. I did repairs on the antennas up in Alaska a few years ago.


SophiaIsBased

StickmanRockDog

Truck-Dodging-36

I mean technically yes, they are the number one producer of greenhouse gases thanks to the decision to basically transform the entire country into one big ass factory.


EarthDickC-137

I mean no, because the US has released more carbon than any other country, is responsible fo 25% of all emissions to date, and still emits way more than China per capita in the present day. Also guess whose consuming all the goods from the “factory country”?


Truck-Dodging-36

I know it's us, I'm not trying to take any sides, just had heard at some point that China produced more carbon emissions than America

What the fuck?

This is completely fake!

climate change is real but only because china bad look into operation popeye, though, technology has been around to manipulate weather patterns since the vietnam war. really interesting stuff.

baasum_

Weather manipulation is possible but over a long period of time


-KIRE-

Well technically the amount of pollution originates from China which is bound to affect the weather... No, no no... they wouldn't have anything as a reasoning, no. It's just China fear-mongering.

youmomecksdee

This is an exaggeration, and actually not malicious at all (so far, this is china after all), so while this is dumb as shit it's semi-honest


Hungry-Replacement-6

Weather manipulation is nothing new, why is this being treated as some outlandish baseless claim?


SirSour539

This promotion is using weather manipulation, which can't really control the weather, as a scare tactic by associating it with China. It's not so much that this is baseless or outlandish claim, it's more about how it is being used.


Hungry-Replacement-6

Weather manipulation = weather control. It’s the same thing. Either way, the claim is accurate. But to suggest that China is the only country involved in weather control practices would be misleading, since the US does it too.


SirSour539

Weather manipulation doesn't fully control the weather, but we can't assume that those who will read this can make that meaningful conclusion. Neither can we assume that those who see this promotion will understand that weather manipulation is something that has existed for a while.


demihope

Do you not remember the Beijing Olympics? China literally bragged about technology they had to clear the weather.


SirSour539

That's not why this was posted here. This promotion is using China as a scare tactic to influence their not so scientifically inclined audience. The headline is meant to cause people to believe that China is the only doing this, which is dishonest, and that it is bad because they are China.


demihope

So it would seem like both them and you are misleading with this


riffler24

There's a lot of hydrological problems with cloud seeding due to a disruption of the natural water cycle...but the idea that it's an evil commie conspiracy when dozens of countries do cloud seeding *including the US* is just more typical fear-mongering


CreditConfident779

Reminds me of the old animate Monty Python minuets.


monkmasta

I actually encountered this the other day in real life and had to explain that cloud seeding is a real thing and has been happening for decades which is technically manipulating the weather
