Kinda funny that the public response to Abe's assassination ended up being "yeah RIP or whatever but let's focus on this Unification Church s***"

these examples are massive exaggerations, western culture and media is incredibly popular in china. hatred of japan in china is longstanding and not really related to current geopolitical situations. the politics of the youth there are no different in variety and levels of extremity from that of the youth in the US. acting like youth there in a rapidly industrialized society with high urban density and parallel societal structures to the west are going to act like weird aliens just because it's an asian country really exposes the biases of the author.

Zero COVID really makes Westerners seethe a lot. I'm sure thousands of families would give up some temporary freedoms if it means they could have protected their loved ones from an unnecessary death

americans be like "yeah i'm a nationalist what of it" and then be like "no i will not make the sacrifice of not going to mcdonalds weekly for the greater good of the community"

If China had the same death rates as for example the USA, about 4.3 people would have died

Instead about 5000 died of COVID

LMAOO F***

My sisters reading Weber and Marx at 17 for school wtf

isn’t that normal, my hs philosophy class covered em as well

economic class we were introduced to marx as well but it was just basically a page on him and then my teacher said something about competition and that’s why he’s wrong

we had to read marx freshman year in college i don't think it's that weird. teacher was lowkey awful and trying to reach marx as if he was a liberal though

yeah i read Marx in my first year sociology class as well the prof wasn’t a fan of him tho lol and i was like that man made your career !

Is she in high school? What kinda class is this

AP government

Das Kapital is one of the most cited books in academia ever.

Sadly not in the economics department.

That's what I was taught about the DDR. And "the party always had 99% of the votes"

Starting to come around on the theory that Trump tried the coup just so he wouldn't go to jail.

I visited school in Germany and never heard Marx mentioned. Also the Ottoman Empire was never mentioned. We never really learned about WW2 from 1940 - 1945. We did have classes on the Holocaust basically every year from grade 8 to grade 12, including multiple visits to concentration camps. The Soviet Union was never really mentioned much. East Germany was the subject of one or two lessons. Never learned about the Ruhr Uprising or the street violence of 1920s Weimar, or the Bavarian peoples republic despite being in Bavaria . Rosa and Karl were mentioned in a lesson but they portrayed it like they announced their new state too late and the Weimar state was announced an hour earlier so that's why it got recognized lol

China was not really taken seriously yet, just a place for cheap production. My geography teacher didnt know Taiwan was called ROC and also denied manmade climate change existed. Basically every human-geographic problem we a***yzed boiled down to "they would need more money to fix it", without asking why or how the third world or other places get societal problems like this. Also another teacher suggested the third world is poor because of the climate making it warm so people become too lazy

doing better now

only got like 4 5 sores and a few rashes

must have been cuz i prayed at the mao altar everyday

So it wasnt monkeypox?

Every soc101 professors section on Marx is basically “he had a really simplistic view of the world where he thought everyone was in 1 of 2 groups. Then Weber came along and took some of the good things Marx said but added ~nuance~”

tested negative

tested for a bunch of stuff and it all came up negative so who has any idea

unrelated i went out to a bookstore saw phenomenlogy of spirit and impulse bought it wish me luck 🤞🏾

Aye lol nice

I’ve never read the whole thing, I should probably do that soon

Im glad ur alright king

My former buddy got so angry at hegel when he read that book
