Cultural Revolution

Most of the way through an article on how crazy Progressives are boosting Trump's re-election chances, a Maoist note:
These stories in which doctors lop the breasts off of teenage girls, or peeling the skin off a boy’s penis and inverting it to make a fake vagina, are a long, long way from Yale Stadium or the faculty lounge. But there is a continuum here. Left-wing extremists are controlling institutions, mostly because liberals within those institutions and fields are afraid to say no to whatever the extremists want. And conservative lawmakers are afraid to touch this stuff too.

Many, many people feel powerless to stop these cultural revolutionaries. (By the way, I’ve reached out to the reader who commented here the other day about his wife, a Chinese immigrant who saw people killed during the madness of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution, bursting into tears when she saw the raging mob at Berkeley on the TV news the other night; she wept because she fears for her adopted country, and doesn’t understand why Americans can’t see the mounting danger. I am going to have an interview with her in this space soon.)
We do need to figure out how to put the brakes on some of this stuff. Perhaps educating the young about Mao is one way to do it; the "Red Guards" these young activists are emulating didn't end up in a happy place. The reason was the same: even for someone as committed to cultural revolution as Mao, cultural stability turned out to be important enough that his own nurtured movement could not be allowed to continue to exist.

    Generally speaking, the Red Guards were composed of teenagers, including girls. And when those girls reported their fathers and mothers for "re-education" and volunteered to engage in the mob beating and or execution of their ancestors... this is more than just a big no no in Chinese culture. It's suicidal, on a psychic level, to be considered useful but also insane to destroy your own father and grandfather.

    As for my previous talk about the Deep State technologies, look up HAARP's de classification and whistleblowers. There's a reason why the FCC prevents certain frequencies from being used.

    Given that Mao has reprogrammed Chinese into Simplified Chinese, every source that people can use to read about Mao was written by... the victors, meaning Mao. And the stuff not written by the victors, the Taiwanese and Chinese traditional script... can no longer be read by the Chinese generations.

    You see how that works, Grim? It is quite the convenient Satanic control scheme. And it is powerful and intellectual, not stupid and insane the way Americans see SJWs. Underestimating the enemy is a bad habit of First World cultures. The Satan, Orion, and X factions are a lot more influential, intelligent, and well planned logistically than the American military seems to comprehend.

    Thus re educating the Chinese about mao, would require about the same amount of power as re educating people on gravity and the Flat Earth Theory. Impossible? No. Improbable? yes. Humans I have found, online and offline, aren't really interested in changing their minds often.
