  • And it is waking people up to the farce of the two party system. I have lifelong Democrat voters expressing to me that I was correct and that the Democrats are part of the problem.

    It isn’t working the way they want it to. Exactly as I have been saying. They can try to punish us and blame it on us all they want, they are just rapidly creating a larger base of actual resistance, and not just mealy-mouth platitudes.


















  • That is common tripe from people who can’t cut it.

    The issue is that you have to actually read and know things. Like, memorization is a huge part of the Chinese curriculum. To Westerners, this means that there is a lack of ‘critical thinking’, but what that really means is that you can’t just vibes-based bullshit your way through something by paraphrasing it.

    Now, does that mean that sometimes you might have a valid disagreement in interpretation of a reading and then be marked as incorrect despite having presented a solid case? Sure, that happens. But that is because unique research and interpretation is meant to be something that you do later, the point of the education is that you understand and can explain how it is interpreted right now.

    For example, I would struggle under a Chinese teaching method of a Western interpretation of Marxist ethics, as I think most of what these western scholars have to say on Marxist ethics is complete bullshit not based in actual readings of Marxist texts. However, if those Western scholars had to adhere to Chinese standards of memorization and citation of Marxist texts, we probably wouldn’t have that issue to begin with.
