I’ve seen a Chinese American YouTuber compares the POTUS to puppet emperors. Shouldn’t the puppeteers be executed instead?

It seems to me that Fascism has never left Germany. It just changes the masters it serves.

All the evils in the world sometimes make people wish Hell was real.
The US once wanted to send Hanoi back to the Stone Age as well. Didn’t really work.
Japan feels rebellious today.
The very foundation of Hollywood is Zionist propaganda.
Boeing executives still not being arrested and persecuted is truly a testament to freedom and democracy.
Should similar case happen in an oppressive, authoritarian, autocratic, and communist country (such as Vietnam or China), the executives would have received death penalty.
SCP is a company? Do they sell anomalies for profit?
The more Israel rejects peace, the more of their monstrous nature is revealed, and the more international support they lose.
Somebody just posted USA vs The World scenario the other day. They really want to tempt fate huh.
I have tweaked my Twitter feed to show me only Touhou, anime, and programming. Occasionally, posts from American politics show up, but I would mute the account immediately.
This guy is preoccupied with combating religions, in so doing, he attacks the cultural identities of religious people. As a consequence, he is unable to convince or rally religious people for good cause. He is as detrimental to social harmony as religious fundamentalism.
He is the epitome of a stereotypical Western leftist, who enjoys debating on ideas inconsequential but shy away from taking stance on issues that actually matter.
Thank you for your answer. It was both excellent and humbling. I realize now that my discipline in dialectical materialism has been lacking.
I had asked you guys to prove me wrong from the very first comment. Unfortunately, the answers I received are a bit unconvincing.
Maybe the document you provide can change my world view, but I must take my time to read it first.
Gender is a social construct often upheld by patriarchal societal standards. The being of a man or a woman comes with many societal expectations, and quite a lot of people don’t agree with that.
Do you mean “gender role”?
Patriarchal societies often have different expectations for people of different biological sex. A Confucian society would expect a man to follow the Son of Heaven and a woman to follow her father or husband. This is gender role, and gender equality means the abolishment of gender roles.
I don’t think I can agree with conflating the concept of “gender” and “gender role”.
Now, I only want to comment on the gender aspect as I am sure that you, master observer that you are, can acknowledge stuff like intersex people existing, who are born with both sets of genitals for example.
After some thought, I think I see your point. If one considers intersex a biological sex then their true gender should be separate from their sex. Is that what you were trying to convey?
Now, gender as we know it now has evolved in capitalist societies
Please tell me what the concept of gender was like in other societies. Be it Medieval Europe or Imperial China or whatever society you are familiar with.
Non binary people, for example, have been around since the beginning of mankind and have even been acknowledged by historic societies.
Please provide me documents. I may take my time to research them.
The difference being, If I was assigned “male” at birth and society categorized me as “boy/man” and treats me as boy/man but I don’t “feel” boy/man and would like to be treated as girl/woman, what will that society do?
Transition, I guess. The Vietnamese society generally do not discriminate against transgenders. I’m not sure about Western societies. But I live in Vietnam, so it is the scope that I care about.
We can accept transgender because we know that, after having transitioned, they cannot fake their feeling and gender identity to sexually harass people of different sex.
The subject I was talking about was not specifically transgender, but the “72 genders”. I generally accept that a man can transition into a woman and vice versa, but that still 2. If we add intersex people and people who are unfortunately lack features of either sex, that would be 4. But this number 4 refers to biological sex, it doesn’t match 72 genders.
that’s not being uncomfortable with “fickleness” that’s drifting into bigotry territory.
The “fickleness” refers to [“I feel like a woman” today but next week telling you “I feel like a man”]. I don’t think my society will ever accept that a person can identify as different genders in different time of days, even if we accept transgender.
I would say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” but the premise doesn’t apply to Boeing.
