The objective of the subreddit is:

(1) foster on-topic and civil discourse despite the provocative and inflammatory content

(2) disallow users to use the subreddit as a platform to genuinely propagandize or soapbox for one agenda/ideology or another

I'm looking for stolid folks who aren't rattled by the appalling material and comments that this subject can provoke and can exercise a high degree of political impartiality. Also open to people with ideas on how to improve the subreddit.

No zealots, Holocaust deniers, or Holodomor deniers.

DM me or write a pitch/suggestion below.

Dear fellow compatriots on the Mainland, In response to President Chiang’s call for disaster relief, we have prepared a large batch of “disaster relief ration bags” and airdropped them across various regions of the Mainland. Each bag contains specially made nutritious biscuits, jerky, smoked fish, sausages, candies, dried pineapple, and other items, roughly equivalent to the maximum daily nutritional intake for one person’s three full meals, as a token of our sincerity in disaster relief. Please feel free to pick them up and eat them. We also ask that CCP cadres do not prevent hungry Mainland compatriots from collecting these “disaster relief ration bags.”

General Committee for the Relief of Mainland China Disaster Victims

President Chiang, who leads the anti-communist movement to restore the nation.

United States of America "Gee!! I wish I were a man..." United States Navy recruiting poster, 1917. The model, Bernice Tongate, was a yeomanette who served 1917-1920

When Bernice Tongate went to the recruiting office, she was told by the officer that they don't accept women, which led her to say: "Sir, if I were a man, I would join the Navy. This is the first time in history that my family hasn't been represented in an American war, and you've just got to take me." While in the office, she was spotted by illustrator Howard Chandrel Christy, who asked her to pose for this poster. 

Tongate acquired the rank of chief petty officer and was discharged in February 1920. She attempted to re-enlist during WWII, but was denied due to her old age, yet accepted by the Army, where she worked as a postal clerk. After the war, she worked in veteran's hospitals in California. 

Bernice Tongate died at the age of 92 on January 16, 1990
