Isn't imperialism and colonialism liberal concept? "We know better than you so we have to civilize you?" As opposed to a more conservative. " we just don't want you here?"

This is very shortsighted. Colonialism was partly based on the idea that liberalism was universal and that 'uncivilized people' needed to be 'freed' in the name of liberalism.

The biggest pusher of french colonialism, Jules Ferry, was a liberal. The idea that liberal ideas from the european Enlightment needed to be spread around the world, even thru guns and bullets, is one the pillars of colonialism.

Absolutely. It's the whole french-style "Enlightment" and "Universalism" that basically said that French/European values were better than those of the rest of the world, and thus that they had a "moral obligation" (lmao) to spread it, with or without the local populations' consent. Actually one can see similarities with Christianism (and both went hand in hand, despite the Enlightment and Universalism supposedly being secular). And with the spread of "democracy" and "values" now. Back then most people against colonialism were more on the right-side of the political spectrum. Some due to actual respect for other cultures, most just on some "do whatever you want over there, we don't care either way as long as you don't mess with us".

Prediction:

This will happen in America when automation forces more people out of work. Black Women will be out of jobs they held for years in government and corporate.

The jobs left in fields like nursing/health care will be taken by Hispanic women. Black women on a whole besides a select few won’t want to work in the new industry of IT in fields like machine learning, cyber security, software engineering etc to adapt to the new economy. Black men largely will. Black women will finally bite their tongue after generations and decide to be Stay at home mothers and decide to be more feminine.

Y'all applauding this but what's their definition of "masculine" vs "sissified"? Their view of masculinity may not match what a lot of you have in your head.

And making the shyt a law is a slippery slope. Imagine if they did this in The U.S.


For example pants sagging. Some people considerate it "sissified to have your underwear showing in public, but at the same time a lot of those dudes who sag their pants claim it's "sissified" to walk around with pants that tight around the ass.

So if this became a mandate in the west would men who sag their pants be banned from television? Would men who wear skinny genes be banned?


Also keep in mind that masculinity and feminist varies from culture, race, ethnicity, and time period.
Black Americans consider facial hair masculine but many Black Africans don't grow facial hair like that.
Back in the day almost all White men shaved now they rock those lumberjack joints.


I've seen mens fashion and mens improvement types claim sneakers are "for little boys"


If you go with the kneejerk hot take it sounds like China is "protecting masculinity" but if you think about it, I don't think its that simple.

It's funny because this shyt can NEVER happen here. I mean you can say it already did. They used to have married couples sleep in separate beds on TV.. No interracial couples.. They do have no sagging laws..


But to see where we are headed with all this political correct cancel shyt over here, and see them straight up like "Nah", is just crazy in 2021
