  • South Koera is really bad when it comes to gender issues. There is a whole movement of women who are fed up with the sexism they face, called 4B, rejecting males outright as a response.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/4B_movement

    Also notworthy from the article:

    At the same time, a government think tank recommended that girls start school earlier than boys, so that classmates would be more attracted to each other by the time they were ready to marry.

    If your solution to a terrible work culture and people not having families is “to make the girls younger”, you have reached right-wing levels of thinly veiled insanity.












  • If it only was JUST the use of concrete

    In China, real-estate and owning a home is a big show or success in life and therefore highly desirable.

    Over the years the construction sector ran rampant, building homes faster then they could be sold by banks to bidders. A lot of these homes are so shoddy, they are starting to fall appart while people are living inaide them (google “tofu-buildings” and see for yourself, its horrific).

    With high ammounts of corruption and in-party dealings, China continued to overbuild, using up massive ammounts of concrete on buildings with the lifespan of an average laptop. If they would build highly efficient buildings to house the massive population with high quality and affordable rooms, that would probably justity the high us of concrete and material.

    But they are not

    And here we are now, locked in a perpetual cycle of building and breaking stuff, because a lot of finances and political positions are entwined with constructionnand lland-dealings.

    The CCP could intervene, they are the fake-communist authoritarian rulers after all and their word is law. Im just not sure they want to. Or know how.


  • There is currently a massive movement against the far-right in Germany

    Revently a meeting was leaked, where the AfD went just mask-out-the-window and openly talked about deportation (They call it “Remigration”) of German Citicens who are the children of immigrants.

    After that the vague threats to society have become tangible for a lot of people. Now an ever increasing ammount of the general public is turning against the AfD, who is further slipping into fascism as a reaction, prompting usuql fascist infighting and splitting.

    Unlike in the US our judicial system is not quite as bad, but, with all things German, burocratic processes are quite slow. Also a lot of parties dont want to cooperate with the AfD in any regard, even the center-right (CDU) is having issues.

    From the outside it looks bleaker then it is in reality, but the danger is still very real

    For a time now I heard that the UK is a dying empire, desperatly clinging on to a version long gone and being stuck in the past.

    In wake of recent anti-trans legislation, Brexit, migration-panics and general declining lifestile, I tend to agree with the statement. The UK is falling behind rapidly, but instead of combating that with progressive policy, the embrace of conservtaive ideas like this will just accelerate the decay.

    I just hope Scotland and northern Ireland can get out before its too late.
