Singapore got the perfect storm of a wealthy city state and small population making it easier to deliver efficient healthcare. SIngapore population is just under 6 million with a $500 billion GDP and a culture that leans towards conformity and control. Singapore is 2nd in the world to positive net trade balance of like $187 BILLION, secondf only to China...
The stark reality is that Freire's and Marxist ideologies have deeply permeated U.S. colleges, where they have systematically been used to indoctrinate students for decades. This is the biggest threat to the US and is responsible for any "turning". Let me spell it out for the ignorant. DEI/wokesim = communism
Communism = communism, and communism didn’t work, other than its continued ability to baffle boomers. Let’s get something straight, communism is a system of government. It’s not a vibe or a feeling, just as fascism is a system of government, not simply shorthand for “the bad guys.” Yes, communism failed as a system, and even the communists know this. What we’re seeing now, particularly among younger people, isn’t a revival of old-school Marxist-Leninism but rather attempts to imagine something new, like a high-tech collectivism adapted to the modern era. The belief that communist ideology is "taking over universities," then, isn’t about actual communist doctrine creeping into academia. Instead, it’s a reflection of cultural and political anxieties. For older Americans shaped by the Cold War, "communism" has become a convenient shorthand for any progressive or anti-establishment movement they find threatening. This perception has been amplified by the politicization of higher education and media exaggerations of fringe campus incidents. But the reality is that actual Marxist-Leninist ideas remain largely fringe in academia. Instead, the debate is more about societal shifts and the discomfort that comes with them, not the resurrection of a failed system.
So lets check the politicians you support. George W Bush, lied about WMDs got 4,500 US Service members killed, close to 1 million Iraqis, wasted 4 trillion. Liz Cheney, was part of the George W Bush cabal that lied about WMDs. Cheney’s loss may be the second worst for a House incumbent in 60 years You think she is Abraham Lincoln. You supported Joe Biden. Ranks right up there with George W Bush as the worst President of all time. Then you support Kamala Harris, who was a historically bad candidate. She lost 50 of 50 state primaries. Executed a coup with Barry Soetoro, an admitted cocaine user, who also goes by the name Hussein Obama. She lost the general election in historic fashion. She picked a self described knucklehead as her running mate, he lied about his military service. To top it off, you are Canadian and a racist. Nice tribute to veterans, since you have nothing to say, I find it highly unlikely you served.
A common sense take on what is coming: https://youtube.com/shorts/v6PV1SI5UY8?si=1qCaex9KSiVxHU9Y Most people can't really be fooled forever that there is much difference between murder by bullet or a PDF, when it becomes personal.
I guess I can just ask for WC to be blocked from my threads. I can't be bothered really. He is just dribbling now, surprising there is any fluid left in his body. He is a stage four or five troll. The hairy hands are already started. It's just instinct, no executive brain function remaining.
Total nonsense. Here, let me educate you. It is, without a doubt, a full-scale revival of Marxism. Concepts like "wokeism," "white privilege," "systemic racism," and the idea of a binary oppressor-oppressed dynamic are directly rooted in Marxist thought. Paulo Freire, is the the father of "systemic racism," "wokeism," and the race based oppressor-oppressed framework, explicitly drew from Marxist theory. His work builds directly upon Marx's concept of class struggle, which divides society into two opposing groups: the oppressors (bourgeoisie) and the oppressed (proletariat). Freire’s framework simply replaces the proletariat and bourgeoisie with modern categories such as marginalized/disadvantaged/melanated/homophobia/transphobia and white/patriarchy/white supremacy/1%. This reinterpretation gives rise to contemporary ideologies like "systemic racism," "DEI" (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and "wokeism." The lens through which proponents of systemic oppression view society is fundamentally binary: everyone is either an oppressor or an oppressed. This is precisely why proponents of these ideologies emphasize the term "systemic." In their view, the oppression they identify is so deeply ingrained in the existing system that the only solution, according to them, is to dismantle the current system and replace it with one that, by its very nature, mirrors the principles of communism. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.... Freire's work is generally included in the following courses: Foundations of Education Curriculum Theory and Design Critical Pedagogy Multicultural Education Adult Education Cultural Studies in Education Community Education Sociology Political Science Anthropology Social Work Religious Studies Communication Studies Latin American Studies Philosophy Humanities Critical Pedagogy Social Justice in Education Multicultural Education Community-Based Learning Adult Learning and Development Participatory Action Research The Philosophy of Education Empowerment in Social Work
1. Systemic Struggle discussion ≠ it's all Communism (bollocks) Recognizing systemic problems, such as racism, sexism, or inequality, does not automatically align with Marxist ideology. Many frameworks for understanding systemic oppression (e.g., liberalism, human rights advocacy) are not Marxist but share a focus on identifying and addressing structural issues. 2. Overgeneralization of Freire’s Influence a bit? While Paulo Freire's work draws from Marxist thought, his ideas have been adapted and reinterpreted in various contexts. Freire’s pedagogy is not exclusively communist but is often about empowering individuals to challenge oppressive systems, which can align with democratic or liberal values as much as Marxist ones. 3. The Fallacy of Binary Thinking, a sign of underpowered thinking. The "oppressor vs oppressed" framework is not unique to Marxism. It exists in religious texts, philosophical works, and countless other traditions. Using this framework does not make a person or movement inherently Marxist. The argument that systemic oppression = Marxism ignores this broader history. 4. Right-Wing Sources and Confirmation Bias.. You are a product. Your general reliance on sources like the Gateway Pundit raises questions about the accuracy and neutrality. These outlets prioritise ideological alignment over nuanced analysis, which can distort understanding. A balanced critique requires sourcing from..well not Tugger Carlson. 5. Historical Parallels are not revival. Modern social justice movements may share certain parallels with Marxist concepts (e.g., analyzing power dynamics), but they are products of their time, shaped by postmodernism, critical theory, and intersectionality. Calling them a "revival" of Marxism ignores these broader influences and dilutes their complexity. As for the few seconds of a woman saying the words... That's not.. I need coffee..
