Nice read. With that mindset, how on Earth did the Chinese become so powerful that they now dominate the whole world?Orichá wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 2:09 pm...Playdough and Ice...

Well. Both of you are off the mark. The main reason that the Chinese authorities are persecuting the Uyghur people of Xinjiang is because they are NOT Han Western
.......
minds are like the malleable
"playdough" of subjective belief in whatever we think is right or true versus the rigid and brittle brain grammar of the Chinese mind, which is made of cold hard ice. The Western mind you can kneed and blend easily like putty; but the Chinese, you must melt or smash...

Yes, of course, the case of other religious minorities stands out. No matter what their ethnicity, persecution happens and the state micromanages and effectively represses everyone -- but groups especially -- who fail to conform to the prescribed ideology. So, I guess this equates to a hierarchy of ideology that subsumes free-thinking, belief and ethnicity into an amorphous exclusion zone. The main idea is the importance that the state officially places on getting everyone to believe "the right thing".Visser wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 6:56 pm
Well if that were true then please explain to me why Han-Chinese Falun gong members and Christians are getting the same treatment? While non-religious ethnic minorities are treated the same as the Han-Chinese as long as they behave like Han-Chinese?
You are right on the push for social homogeneity, but I don't think that you understand what that means.
We all know that there are many highly educated and articulate Chinese who can think for themselves, both in China and overseas everywhere: the persistence of independent Chinese minds in effect proves the basic obsolescence and overkill of the Communist state apparatus. However, it is curious to note that the Chinese state seems to feel most threatened by group entities that mirror, and therefore threaten, its role as the only legitimate cult for China. Only one boss and one idea at a time is permitted. The state of China most fears mass social chaos, which has been a perennial problem throughout its history...
And maybe you are right, I am not sure what "mass social homogeneity" means, but is definitely something to do with gluing people into the role of the willing-slave-victim... But in the West we have credit cards and bank loans to keep everyone in line... So, maybe what's the difference?

I see today that the Chinese have reached Stung Treng in force: two, three years before there were absolutely no massage parlors; today, there's one every ten metres on the streets east of the central market...
