What's interesting about #china is that the #ccp wants to replicate the success of the #us or #uk - but does not want to adapt the culture that made the societies great: https://www.economist.com/china/2021/07/.. Instead they don't empower or trust their own people to be the best versions of themselves. #communism will *not* get you the lifestyle of a #libertarian ...
Apparently #blm now label the #us #flag as a #racist symbol: https://www.lotuseaters.com/black-lives-.. Very sad and obvious #marxist #communism ideology...
#china 's #wechat #weibo have #banned #lgbt #chat groups: https://www.lotuseaters.com/chinese-soci.. #communism doesn't seem to be so #progressive anymore...

Quote: "At the same time, the Chinese people will never allow any outside forces to bully, oppress or enslave us. Anyone who tries to do so will be crushed to death before the Great Wall of steel built with the flesh and blood of over 1.4 billion Chinese people". Finally an admittance that #marxism #communism requires the sacrifice of 1.4 billion people?The #ccp 100th #anniversary #speech is something I think we will look back on and think of #mao , #stalin or #hitler https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Full-te.. It's filled to the brim with #nationalism - lies about a one Country, two systems policy with #hongkong and generally bigs up #communism - one of the most evil governance policies ever devised.
And now #canada has a #hatecrime bill being pushed through the backdoor: https://gizmodo.com/canada-to-make-onlin.. What is hate crime? Whatever is the unpopular opinion of the day... This is how we end up with dictatorships like #communism and #fascism (which is entirely the point of the people pushing it).
Haha! #nz #climate #activist group named #ssvc is disbanding after accusing itself of #racism https://www.lotuseaters.com/new-zealand-.. Almost every group like this is either doomed to failure or constantly moving goalposts - their continued existence is literally impossible. Again another reason why #communism will never work.

That is very wishful thinking - anybody who believes some new untested system will come in and work better than the current system is smelling their own farts.
#italy pushing a bill to ban #communism and #islamism https://www.lotuseaters.com/italian-cons.. As #based as it sounds, it's also concerning. It is for sure a step towards #authoritarianism as ideas should be able to do battle freely in a #liberal society.

Conservatism is usually a group of people who want to conserve their current/recent way of life. I think #rightwing and #leftwing groups are typically a soft form of their extremes, being #fascism and #communism respectively. Wanting a #liberal society or Conservative society doesn't mean you have to lean into right/left ideals.I've been really enjoying the #lotuseaters #podcast recently: https://www.lotuseaters.com/the-podcast-.. They are a #conservative outlet that cover a bunch of hot topics in #uk news. The format is such that it feels like a conversation between two old friends. At the end they take video comments from paying viewers and it adds a really nice touch.
