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.
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.
That is at least directly related to China.
Compared to what? People comment here because of censorship on Reddit. Do I think that the Chinese will force us to claim that men are women? No. That's an improvement.
Yes, China will absolutely maintain the present woke dogma in the West, and enforce it much more harhsly than now. Misgender a tranny? We're here for your kidneys. It's a weapon to destroy us, why would they not use it when it's already deployed? They probably sponsor a lot of "activists" and "human rights groups" too.
They're banning degeneracy on their own turf, they have no reason to not support it elsewhere. It's no different from how the Soviets funded "green", anti-nuclear movements in the West while building unsafe nuke plants at a breakneck pace back home. You'd have to be a complete retard to think they funded the greens because they were concerned about the environment.
Good point! But I doubt China will want to destroy its vassals like the US does. China may want to undermine our countries as long as we are not in its orbit. Once we are, we're in the clear.
Of course. But they were not funding environmental crap in Poland or Czechoslovakia.
Okay, that's a good point - but they had other ways to demoralize these societies to keep them down, namely force. So sure, if it was 50 years ago and China was the USSR, they'd just send in tanks (Prague Spring) or threaten to, and replace wokeism with conservative communism - so you'd get cancelled for listening to the wrong radio station and owning subversive literature instead of... getting cancelled for liking the wrong tweet or making the wrong gesture. It's not an improvement.
But it's not 50 years ago, and China isn't the USSR; brute force looks bad in the news and tanks cost a ton of money, so I'm guessing China will not go that route, and instead bribe a few spineless Western politicians to do whatever China wants, and they'll demoralize and destabilize their own populations through wokeism. It's already in full effect in Australia and Canada, they're both Chinese colonies, and the wokeism is only getting worse as China secures its rule.
