I've mentioned before that I have a very large extended family and I got into an argument with a cousin of mine the other day. I generally try to ignore him when he goes on his rants but he was defending CRT and how people are trying to erase history and I couldn't keep silent. Besides being told I'm an Uncle Tom or that I "do the bidding of white supremacists" he gave me the usual talking points that I'm sure everyone has heard ad nauseam.
I asked him who specifically is holding him back, and if he is so concerned about history what is stopping him from getting all the books he wants about whatever topic. Long story short, he stopped talking to me when I said he makes no sense whatsoever, and asked why he doesn't put this energy into helping organizations who work to free victims of slavery/sex trafficking today.
More and more I am very grateful my parents would always tell me that the world owed me nothing and that life is not always fair. I swear a lot of young people seem to be taught that everything will go their way and if it doesn't then you can blame some vague concepts like "systemic racism" or "the patriarchy". Combine that with the endless talk about disparities as if that isn't something that will always occur naturally. Some people have it better than you, some have it worse, some make better choices, and some don't. Life if full of things like that, but there is this ridiculous idea that everything can be perfectly equal if the right people are in power.
I used to think I could open some eyes but I guess I can't, some people are determined to be victims or wallow in their self imposed oppression.
Someone on Reddit told me, I, a non-American person, need CRT to understand the world and to have empathy. Like dude, my country never had black slaves, we still have very, very few black people and a huge chunk of them are like exchange students and such.
This is why I am happy with the rise of China. The Americans don't just want to have their hands in our pockets, they want to control everyone's beliefs as well.
Do you think the Chinese don't?
I, too, am not an "enemy of my enemy" person, because duh they're still your enemy, stupid.
China is also enacting a sort of very real, violent, and direct form of control, only it's vaguely conservative in nature so a lot of right-leaning people see that as positive.
It's not. Our enemy is not our temporary friend or Ally just because they don't behave like the other enemy.
I think they will be more limited in their demands.
China is, TODAY, sending their people to beat up anti-China/pro-Tibet protestors in foreign countries. Their bot armies on social media are at least partly what's behind widespread Covid lockdowns, and I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese bribery was involved as well. What the fuck do you think they'll do once they're in overt control, calm down and leave us be? Jesus.
They had the bible rewritten last year to fit their agenda more and rewrite history all the time. Had one child policy not to start about the cultural revolution that desroyed everything and send the country back a century.
So no they are in no way more limited in their demands.
The ccp install biden the fraud...
Do you genuinely think China wouldn't want to control others? Tony, that is ridiculously naive of you. You think they just let you believe what you want? That ain't the commie way.
I think they're interested in Realpolitik and money, not evangelism. Same for the Americans, but their imperial hubris leads them to believe that they can persuade everyone of their peaceful ways... BY FORCE.
