Gotdamn, good post. Oddly enough I was chatting with a patient today and she’s big on Asian policy and she was saying how the US doesn’t understand China and how it’s a problem. How we are a young country and see things through that lens, but China has more history than us because their nation/culture has existed much longer, so they view their interactions with other nations through that lens. And how although we are a young nation, we still represent the West and are grouped with European nations (which have been around a lot longer than us, as well).
Even got into the concept of “flat Whiteness” (although I admit I brought that up after she mention the idea of being “American” and people not drawing on the cultures of their home countries)— but she agreed!
Crazy timing.
I do believe the US has a bleak future ahead of it but I also don't believe China is all that he is making it out to be. I can see China collapsing sooner than the US, imo
......It’s interesting how nikkas will let their bigotry against LGBT ppl allow them to hear ppl say
Why is America such a big market for drugs today? And I was watching the Eurovision contest... [...] Parts of it, almost satanic. But it's now part of the fashion in most of Europe. What is happening?
PM Lee talked about how we should keep all these woke things away from us as much as possible. I fully agree with him. Keep our societies wholesome. Keep our families intact.
And let the term of “woke” get co-opted by right wing conservative non-Black ppl into a negative connotation, instead of a term to stimulate social awareness of social injustices.
Which is a way more powerful play with political undertones to harm us as a ppl on a grand scale by programming ppl to have negative associations to it.
