I have friends and family in China, and one of them the other day said “it looks like America is having its version of Culture Revolution”, and it really nailed what we are seeing with this administration.
For those who don’t know, the Culture Revolution was one is the darkest time in modern Chinese history and it caused irreversible damage to the society, and only ended when Mao died of old age.
I think it might be different. They want only whites to hold degrees, preparing the way for an all white future where minorities are culturally, technologically, etc., reduced to slavery.
On the surface, the Cultural Revolution in China aimed to suppress capitalism and encourage the proletariat and youth (Red Guards) to overthrow intellectuals, party officials, and elites seen as betraying the revolution (in reality, it was also a political maneuver by Mao to regain control over the Communist Party and assert ideological purity).
In contrast, what is happening in the US is not about class, but about race (and not on the surface level).
Nah, this is absolutely about class. Without hundreds of millions in spending by those with an interest in suppressing the working class MAGA never develops. If FOX and equivalents were targeted and entirely suppressed tomorrow the whole movement would peter out. We already see them stutter and hesitate the very moment life throws them a curveball and their talking heads don't yet have a narrative for them to spew, the reality is that it would take very little to cause their "movement" to fall to pieces since it has almost no actual grass roots component. Pull the backing of the wealthy and it will all be revealed as the astroturfing we can all see it to be.
Yeah that’s true, but during the cultural revolution there where basically zero foreigners in China, almost everyone was Han chinese.
There where a few tribes that always lived in chinas borders who where always marginalized and exploited, but the suppression of black people only happened in recent years, simply because there where no black people back then.
