Thanks. A very very good readquote:闯: You say that Xi isn’t a Bonapartist, and you’ve said before that you find the term “populism” misleading. There’s been a lot of discussion about the idea that the economic crisis has given rise to a global wave of “populist,” often xenophobic mass movements with ties to right-wing politicians such as Trump, Modi or Putin, and some observers put Xi in the same category. Do you think this idea is useful at all?

While we're on the topic, thanks for all the xinjiang resources from a few months ago. Took a while to get through, but it helped contextualize things. Arguing over 'who does it worse' is besides the point, imo. To me the heart of it is a question about how society handles assimilation. Its clear the vocational programs are there to reeducate, as the entire point is to eradicate poverty, retrain, and assimilate a colossal amount of people. These programs have been running for over a decade, have been largely successful (sometimes indirectly supported by the west) and aren't unique to the Uyghur population. How should societies handle mass assimilation? To what extent should a dominant society change the way smaller groups act or think? How should the actions of minority groups that go against societal interests be restricted or changed (reproductive rights, women's rights, rights to education, etc)? This is where the conversation is imo. Certainly it's good to be critical about how exactly China approaches them, but even in a world where it did things perfectly, there would still be debate as these questions are moral ones with as many answers as people.

I'm sure there are more benign cases, but most of the interviews I read from Uighurs fell into a pattern of 'I was reported for thinking the TV was the devil, I now recognize this is wrong', 'I was reported for forcing my wife to not leave the house, I now recognize this is wrong', 'I was reported because I refused to let my children attend school, go to social events, or watch TV, I now recognize this was wrong' etc. At what point should a state do something in such situations (especially with respect to assimilation?) In the United States there is a more hands-off approach. Loopholes exist through things like religious freedom or home schooling that can allow such things parallel to the mainstream society. Traditionally a state won't step in. In my mind a state has the right to enforce things like reproductive rights, rights to education, child welfare, etc. When I think of two imperfect solutions to assimilation, one extreme that might send a person into a vocational re-education camp and the other extreme allowing polygamous sects with child brides, I would pick the former.

From what I remember, jobs in the USSR were easy to come by, but most didn't pay very well. Healthcare, utilities, education, and rent were free, so the money was mostly there for 'luxuries'. Compared to the villages my grandparents were born into this was a major step up, but the living standards were much lower than what most of you experienced in the west. To 'get ahead' you could land a desirable job, like being a scientist, raking military officer, doctor, manager in an industry, etc. These people had better pay and higher pensions when they retired and competition was high. You had to be smart, go to a good school, or know somebody. Others started some sort of side business- selling vegetables from their garden, knitting and selling garments, fixing people's appliances, coding video games, etc. There was a huge mom and pop industry for drat near everything (I miss this part the most, it has been all but entirely stamped out by big business over the last decade). For those with unskilled labor, it was not uncommon to have several jobs. Those that were lazy or did the mental arithmetic of how little they would be paid vs the amount of time they had to do it would either live with relatives, claim disability, or find a job that let them slack off. The big thing about all this is that Russia has always had an underground economy, even during Tsarist times. There was a high level of corruption everywhere as it was relatively easy to bribe your way into something. We even have a word for this in our language (blat, not be confused with blyat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blat_(favors)). So say you wanted a nice job that paid a lot, if you had the connections you could pull strings to get you there in return for a favor. Or if you didn't know the person you might just bribe them with actual money. People who used favors to get somewhere were called "blatnoy" basically a word to denote they got there not through the system (the Russian language is very rich like this). There was always a shortage of desirable housing, datchas, consumer goods etc. So this was a big part of why you wanted that extra money. Instead of waiting 10 years to get a datcha you and your friends might pool money together and bribe somebody to get you one in a few years, closer to your city, oh and how convenient your friends also got plots of land there too... I never really liked this and it always frustrated me because in penetrated the system on every level. Again, it existed even before the USSR, but here it found an easier system to weave into. One thing that's nice about the 'new' Russia is that this level of corruption doesn't exist anymore. There is the more familiar western networking, old boys clubs, donations, business deals etc. BULBASAUR has issued a correction as of 22:27 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Yeah, they're now old enough to become subject to the cacophony that is US healthcare. Understandably this will rattle you up. We're also looking at 9+ month delays for the government processing various immigration documents. Last week we got an important letter, rushed from Sweden... 7 months late. I remember packages being lost to the nether when sent to Russia during the 90s, but it was usually just a few months
