CIGNX posted:Part of the logic behind these harebrained schemes was to come up with the most "red" scheme in order to prove yourself sufficiently revolutionary, which meant you could gain power and influence. If I remember correctly, there were times where one side who had the most "red" idea would then claim a rival faction was counter-revolutionary and revisionist for failing to think up the "red" idea themselves. At best the loser falls out of favor, but more likely they would suffer a struggle session and then possibly be executed Sounds like the french revolution

At best the loser falls out of favor, but more likely they would suffer a struggle session and then possibly be executed The best part is that nobody from the Red Guard was ever rewarded beyond being allowed to kill a few teachers and ransack some homes. The Government elite were made up of people who were born before the war (the first one) and it wasn't until they started dieing that their kids replaced them. Your average Red Guard ran wild for a few years then were thrown to the curb (if they were lucky). In some cases they even tried to take on the PLA, and naturally (taking on an actual fighting force who were armed and who still had vets from Korea in their ranks) ended up getting owned pretty badly. Near the end of the cultural revolution the PLA were actually killing Red Guards en masse via mass executions.

This was basically Mao's one idea that actually worked as he planned.

Whenever I hear about Communism, I always remember that wonderful little insight into human nature.Terry Pratchett posted:Some had been ordinary people who'd had enough. Some were young people with no money who objected to the fact that the world was run by old people who were rich. Some were in it to get girls. And some had been idiots as mad as Swing, with a view of the world just as rigid and unreal, who were on the side of what they called 'the people'. Vimes had spent his life on the streets, and had met decent men and fools and people who'd steal a penny from a blind beggar and people who performed silent miracles or desperate crimes every day behind the grubby windows of little houses, but he'd never met The People.

Just because Vimes eschews wealth and privilege doesn't mean he's not swimming in it I like the guy, just saiyan

But if you look at most European states people seem to rather vote for parties that gently caress over everyone as long as said party sticks it to "the immigrants" than vote for a party that'd improve their lives.

Media Bloodbath posted:Username post combo level is insane. It's a less fortunate/more fortunate divide. The lesser half could blame globalization, government policies, aging, etc but they listen to the people who blame immigrants because its an easy excuse that appeals to their tummy feels. A really interesting look is the hard divide between what was East and West Germany. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/10/31/the-berlin-wall-fell-25-years-ago-but-germany-is-still-divided/ Even though they receive fewer immigrants per capita, the former east germans still heavily support the right wing parties due to unfavorable economic conditions.

https://twitter.com/NinjaEconomics/status/981546938406404096 So to turns out the crazy time Baja experienced dating actually has it own term. quote:In an effort to make the men they are dating feel honoured and respected, educated women often find themselves playing down their smarts. June says she switches between two distinct modes, Chinese girl or overseas returnee with an Ivy League degree. Her friends tell her that is not enough: she needs to be versed in the ancient art of sajiao, or the strategically executed temper tantrum, an indispensable element in the dating arsenal of every Chinese woman.

How does throwing a tantrum and making ridiculous demands and playing ridiculous games make a chinese dude feel manly? Doesn't it just make them jump off mall walkways and kick open closed elevator doors to escape the madness?

It makes your partner seem more child like, like you need to be the adult and make decisions and the direction of their lives. Its basically a high pitched sub/dom relationship that never stops*. *while together. Claws come right the gently caress out when the man goes away.
