love enacting gun bans while on the run through rough countryside with my revolutionary army trying to escape encirclement by a much larger force while bleeding troops

“ccp destroyed Chinese traditional culture” okay but I just saw a character in a mainland Chinese video game use 吾 and 汝 as pronouns so, invalid you’ve heard of neopronouns. now presenting paleopronouns
