    You do know the Chinese don't recognise any culture other than their own?

    That very old school Chinese stuff doesn't apply here Tom. Nobody is suppressing or deny YOUR free speech as crazy as it sounds sometimes.

    On the contrary ;I think the woke /cancel culture appropriated the cultural revolution from Mao.

    So the new right wing hollering points are Mao inspired? Fascinating.

    During the height of the Cultural Revolution, Mao called for the young to find and expose the people’s enemies. Red Guards spread across China with Mao's 'Little Red Book' of his quotes . They used that as a reference to determine who was woke in China. It did not matter if the person was a peasant or a prominent pol /influential person. If the woke police determined that person was unworthy ,public humiliation and cancelling followed . Universities were closed, students were sent into the countryside to work and learn from the peasants. People fired, discredited, exiled, destroyed by a politically manipulated mob. Reeducation camps were created .

    The only real difference is that America's leftist cultural revolution is more virtual at this point and to date not as violent (although the BLM/Antifa gangs are still maundering .)

    Victims of the cancel culture are still expected to grovel and beg as the victims of Mao's revolution were . Lives and careers destroyed . Businesses ruined .Those targeted are expected to grovel and confess with promises to adopt the leftist agenda.

    No more than the righty fringers want the left to roll over for their agenda. Blaming Mao ain't honest.

    Not blaming Mao . I'm charging the left with cultural appropriation ;stealing Maoism and adopting it . Does it hit a nerve ? You never complained when I called it Jacobinism ,which predated Mao .The Jacobin movement also favored extreme intervention to transform society .......if you consider the guillotine extreme .

    I suppose that's fair Tom as I have accused the right and repubs of appropriating racists Jim Crow policies to enrich themselves and hold sway over power and influence for the corporate masters. Divide conquer and legally loot while suppressing and oppressing the rights of the lower classes through fear intimidation misinformation and bullying.

    Hey, did I just describe the dufus administration? A new report just came out about Vlad and the dufus colluding AGAIN during the last election. Good thing they failed.

    Today's blacklister is a bi-racial student at the Las Vegas charter school Democracy Preparatory Academy, who received a failing grade in his critical race theory ,'Sociology of Change' class ,because he refused to condemn his white half .

    William Clark is a biracial teenager in Nevada. He lives in transitional housing with his mother Gabrielle, who is black and disabled. William works at a local fast food restaurant to support his mother and two siblings. His father died when he was young. In no way can he be considered 'privileged' .

    The assignment was to reveal his race, gender, religious, and sexual identities and then attach derogatory labels to those identities. Students were then asked to “undo and unlearn” their “beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that stem from oppression.” William was understandably reluctant to label himself as “privileged” or an “oppressor.” He refused and was failed.

    His mother filed suit in the Federal District Court of Nevada, claiming the school violated William’s First Amendment rights by “repeatedly compelling his speech involving intimate matters of race, gender, sexuality and religion. She claims Gabrielle is now “suffering from the shock, anxiety, and guilt associated with having entrusted her son to adult custodians who have set upon ‘unlearning’ the Judeo-Christian values she imparted to her son.”

    Strange how it wasn't that long ago that "self-esteem" was the sacred cow of liberal education. Now, if you are white, it is self degradation. Thank goodness his mom has a backbone.

    Did you hear about Winston Marshall, the banjo player for the band Mumford & Sons ? He tweeted his support for author Andy Ngo for his recent book, 'Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy. ' .
    His life was instantly destroyed by the thought police. Realizing his 'mistake ' .He announced that he would 'take time away' from the band to examine his 'blind spots ' . That is the power of the woke culture warriors today .

    It would be better if these people would stand up and show a little courage. His apology should have been for having played so many years in a band populated by weak-minded losers.

    On a little different but not unrelated subject, read this today. Unreal.

    The digital magazine The Root was accused of racism Wednesday after publishing an article declaring "Whiteness is a Pandemic" in response to Tuesday's deadly shootings in Georgia.

    There was a rush to conclude that the shootings that killed eight people at three Atlanta-area massage parlors were hate crimes after officials confirmed that six of the eight victims were Asian-Americans. Investigators said Wednesday that the suspected gunman, 21-year-old Robert Long, told them he was motivated by a "sexual addiction". They added that racism "did not appear to be the motive". Long has since been charged with multiple counts of murder and assault.

    In the piece, Root senior editor Damon Young argued that "Whiteness" is a "public health crisis." "It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—[W]hite people and people who are not [W]hite, my mom included," Young began. "There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850."
