I have other priorities higher than a completely plant based diet change. I might do it one day, for now I’ve just reduced my meat consumption. And I didn’t say you can’t criticize it.

Idk, but I love watching a YouTube channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. By a Chinese woman who is on her way to making videos of every single province in China. She goes into homes of locals like every episode. Asks them about life there. Sometimes multiple homes. Crazy levels of hospitality in many total strangers. I’m American and it made my bf cry because we deeply feel like these are our people. Maybe her channel will inspire your choice making. It certainly makes me want to move to China.

I had trouble thinking of what to say because there are dynasties in my ethnicity’s culture. With many cultural traditions centered around the dynasties and the concept of money. My parents are immigrants and my childhood was filled with cultural practices. If I were to say my culture is worth more than a chain restaurant, I’d believe it.

But the question stands: Where does the hegemonic culture begin and end? What is the answer when capitalism existed in the making of my ethnicity’s culture? Where does one end, and another begins?

Ah right the very concept of an existing colonial entity. I suppose you can’t make it right by letting it exist.

I wonder what First Nation people would call the land when it’s all said and done. I feel like it would be defended against more strongly if they protected it as one unified power.

That’s a really good quote. Is State and Revolution an easy read? I’m a dumber communist because I get demotivated easily with reading material.

The #Metoo movement was really good for me. I got to be less isolated and more supported

I looked at the timeline. It makes me feel a little better to reframe it as “only Taiwan got taken.”

I can see abusive parents forcibly removing their 14+ year old children from school and using them as cash cows. Including parents that are already well off. The rich are often the most likely to throw other lives into the grinder as long as they gain money, and many don’t plan to exclude their own children from their plans to do so.

Mandatory public school attendance is sometimes the only protection some kids have from an abusive home life.

What’s the NED and DPP? I’ve been staying away from the news. I’ll look them up in the future.
