SpikeTalon comments on Jan 6, 2021:

In regards to the guns being drawn and cops drawing theirs in the process, it's too early to say for sure who was behind that, and I cannot find enough sources saying the same thing. When ANTIFA/BLM had rioted, we were told to hold judgment as some of those rioters could have been the Proud Boys ...

Naomi replies on Jan 6, 2021:

@FEWI Isn't that typical? It happens in the UK, too, i.e., peaceful protest marches organised by ordinary citizens are often hijacked by the far-right or far-left.

Sad boys.

@2peros Tear gas was dispersed, and one person has been shot and is now in a critical condition. Yes, it is a mostly peaceful protest.

Now what?

TyKC comments on Jan 6, 2021:

Interesting. No reports of police using tear gas or rubber bullets against these particular protesters. What gives? It shouldn't be this easy to overrun our Capital building.

What Do Chinese think of Trump and Biden?

MosheBenIssac comments on Jan 5, 2021:

Lets start with the Chinese. When do young hot women care about politics in a foreign country? They do not even care about their own country let alone a foreign one, 100% CCP propaganda. There is no foreign news getting inside of China, its completely cut off, there is zero free press inside of ...

Naomi replies on Jan 5, 2021:

@MosheBenIssac If you can be bothered to read this article... https://www.cato.org/policy-report/januaryfebruary-2013/how-china-became-capitalist I'm inclined to go along with this perspective which is different from yours. Also, again, if you can be bothered to read this: "China after the death of Mao" https://www.britannica.com/place/China/Consequences-of-the-Cultural-Revolution#ref71860 And this: https://arcdigital.media/is-china-still-maoist-d8ec83ac1084 "Neo-Maoist historical revisionism is strengthening under Xi Jinping. This is not because Xi seeks to reintroduce the Red Guards who carried out the Cultural Revolution. But Xi sees the party’s revolutionary history as one of its strongest sources of legitimacy, and by extension his own legitimacy as leader. That’s why he has targeted “historical nihilism,” which portrays Mao and Stalin negatively (or, as one might put it, “accurately”). Mao’s historical stature is a useful ideological cudgel." Some may support neo-Maoism within China, but having read these articles, I don't think that Maoism is applicable to today's China.

Hello there. "When do young hot women care about politics in a foreign country? They do not even care about their own country let alone a foreign one, 100% CCP propaganda. There is no foreign news getting inside of China, its completely cut off, there is zero free press inside of China." Are you sure about that? I find it off-putting that grown-ups often assume that young people, especially young "hot" women, don't care about politics. Moreover, nowadays, the Chinese, especially the middle-class, are great holiday makers. You go abroad and you can't not see Chinese tourists. Also, there are many Chinese businesses established outside China, not to mention many Chinese academics working abroad. China is still classified as communist but it is no longer like Mao's China. Let's not become affected by propaganda that tries to superimpose the image of Mao's China upon today's China.

Naomi replies on Dec 30, 2020:

@Krunoslav Like I said, there are many many cultural factors that make us different from each other. Even among the people living in the same town, they can be so different from one another because of different social classes, different upbringings, and again, different generations. Oh, dad jokes - they are a good example. Dads are likely to embarrass their teenage children because they see dad jokes so lame. That's definitely a generation gap. Lol

Naomi replies on Dec 30, 2020:

Hello. You're very politically-minded. I'm not. I'm rather anthropologically-minded. I like observing people and asking questions like "Why do they behave the way they behave?" There are many cultural factors as to why different people have different ways of thinking. Generation is one of them. No one can deny generation gaps, for example. "When I was a young man/woman..." That's how grandparents' stories typically begin. If they didn't live in different times from younger generations, why bother telling their childhood and adolescence? Even a simple circumstance like whether you were born with or without the Internet has an impact on your world-view. What you call common sense and values can be very different from those of young people and it doesn't even have to be the mater of who is right and who is wrong; they are just different simply because of generation gap as such. "Personally I'm not a fan of this type of thinking about people and ourselves. What is missing in these types of overviews, is focus on the individuality. Everyone is just put into artificially made boxes and categories. It is in essence a bureaucratic way of doing things. .... in triplicate." When I made this post, I wasn't thinking politically at all. Try not to associate this post with identity politics; that wasn't my intention at all. I posted this on a much lighter note. How did you grow up in Croatia as a child and as a young man through your generation? Can you think of any significant event that happened in your life while you were growing up? Did it have an impact on your perspective as to how you should live your life?
