planting seeds in /c/Agriculture by analyzing the rural China farm youtuber Dianxi Xiaoge, a rare millennial neoliberal subject whose content is sublime

millennial neoliberal subject

"like and subscribe to my brand for more content!" (the life goes out of their dead eyes as their camera turns off in their neon lit LED apartment)

Her wiki article is really funny to see how mad the soulless finance imperialist pundits are by sublime beauty:

Coda Media's Isobel Cockerell said Dianxi Xiaoge's presence and popularity on YouTube despite the censorship of YouTube in China indicates she has implicit government support

Coda Media received a grant of $180,130 from the US Government-backed National Endowment for Democracy

"noooo you can't just call every PMC NGO 'satanic CIA finance imperialism', actually I'm bringing democracy to every non-US client state!"

Linda Qian, a University of Oxford doctoral candidate whose research is focused on "Chinese rural nostalgia" observed of Dianxi Xiaoge's Tibet video, "People get to see a different side of China that they didn't know. And they can be like, 'Oh it can actually be pretty beautiful. Oh, it's not just the oppressive CCP with surveillance everywhere. All this is actually a fairytale.'"

angry British PMC demons: "these beautiful Chinese farmer women are brainwashed by the CCP, this is state propaganda and its not ok".

Also PMC: "Wow! I love this soulless redditor kulak American farmer who looks like Edward Snowden! This is true freedom and not fascist propaganda by the ruling class. As a temporarily embarrassed landlord who can't exploit undocumented (literally Ukrainians!!! Tell me again about Russia destroying that country lol) laborers, this is my dream of freedom, to be a Thomas Jefferson slave rapist"

Dianxi Xiaoge's videos showcase the calm, idyllic village life and feature her making videos of Yunnan cuisine using produce that she planted, harvested, and raised herself. Her male Alaskan Malamute named Dawang (Chinese: 大王; lit. 'Big King') follows her around in many videos. She ends her videos with a family meal of what she cooked. Urban dwellers have viewed her videos as a temporary refuge from the bustling, stressful city life.

Mods I demand you add the :Dawang: emoji.

This is just China's version of the old fashioned Shakespeare era Pastoral genre, but instead of being a sex addled bourgeois utopian response to enclosure and urban industrialism, it's a real place where working class people can take a weekend vacation to thanks to the state's development of mass transit like trains. So funny how British kulaks believe living in nature is a 'fairy tale', really telling on themselves and their ideology turning God's creation into a Mad God wasteland!

It was challenging for her parents to make a living farming in the village, which led her to seek schooling and employment outside her province. Dianxi Xiaoge studied to become a police officer

Anarchists: "Smash the Stalinist state, abolish the police...it's not my responsibility as a Breadtuber to get anyone bread"

Ex-cop youtubers: (studying materialist science and doing the most basic Marxist praxis of learning and teaching others about material conditions, simply because they have skin in the game)

though upon graduation in 2012 chose to join an Internet startup company in the marketing department. She planned to eventually buy a house in Chongqing and move her parents in so they would all have a better life. But she returned to her village in 2016 after her father had a heart attack. To make a living in Yunnan, Dianxi Xiaoge began selling local specialities online before capitalizing on the rise in 2016 of short videos when she started posting her own. She created her YouTube channel in 2018 and first went viral internationally after releasing a video where she made hamburgers for her grandparents who had never eaten them before.

Neoliberal subjectivity with Chinese characteristics

Scholars have called her a cottagecore content creator

gamerchair PMC socialists: "Degrowth is Stalinist authoritarianism, people don't want to work outside"

also PMC: (writing the most laughable Pitchfork-ass 'art and culture' criticism because they are baffled by the ar genre of someone who touches grass with her family)

Literally Pitchfork:

There’s a reason rural escapism in China has risen over the past several years. Millions are drawn to lifestyle vloggers like Li Ziqi and Dianxi Xiaoge, who portray idyllic countryside lives spent creating everything from food to clothing from scratch. There’s even a small but notable group of young people called fanxiang qingnian, who, in a departure from China’s mass rural-to-urban migration of the past four decades, have opted to return to farm life. Of course, Chinese nationalism and the state’s push to promote Chinese culture do play a role, but the fact remains that China’s rapid economic growth, not unlike that of its American counterpart, has left its people wanting something more. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/howie-lee-birdy-island/
