Severely allergic to BS, including my own if the case. Echo chambers not my thing. Children are humanity's greatest treasure.

Also, post-Mao China is too young a country to have the maturity for any sort of introspection and self-deprecating humour.

Chinese people seem to be having a hard time grasping the fact that in the West don’t give a fuck about others mocking our past or even present leaders. We do it all the time ourselves.
We don’t worship people here, especially not mass murderers.

International soccer star @KMbappe should not apologize for calling Mao Zedong a dictator. Mao was a dictator, and by orders of magnitude, he did more harm to the Chinese people than a comment from a soccer player ever could. Mao was the leader of the CCP for decades and his dictatorship and disastrous policies killed tens of millions of Chinese people in the Cultural Revolution, the Great Famine, and other atrocities. Involved in the Party from its first national meeting in 1921, Mao is the principal historical figure for a Party that continues his practices of oppression and ideological purges. For decades, the CCP has denied the Chinese people basic human rights including freedom of expression and freedom of religion. These are rights enjoyed by Mbappe and millions of people around the world and Mbappe should exercise this opportunity to tell the horrific truth about Mao’s dictatorship.
The real disgrace in this news story is the companies rushing to apologize so they can continue to do business in China. The CCP is the largest oppressor of the Chinese people and their human rights, and those businesses that work with the CCP help normalize its crushing brutality. reuters.com/business/media-t…

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world.
Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy.
It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.”
they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception.
And the results are wild.
participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile.
they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence.
the paper revealed a brutal paradox:
the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain.
if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing.
this creates a dangerous systemic loop.
the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions.
meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse.
top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else.
they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add.
we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence.
the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't.
the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.
This is also why China plays with all sides of politics: no matter the outcome of democratic elections, the CCP's world vision sees any country losing its sovereignty over China’s core interests and demands.
Hopefully good news, and very soon to become an actual loss for China and Russia

Notable use of the phrase "talent cultivation" 人才培育, a phrase at the core of PRC education policy and so highlighting how parts of Australian higher education are being socialised and integrated into the PRC system.
Australia: Australian tertiary education sinks deeper.

In 2023 I secured new powers so Confucius Institutes could be shut down.
The Labour Government scrapped those powers in their first months.
The threat is inside our universities, and Labour *chose* to let it fester and grow.

Palmer Luckey warns China won’t stop at Taiwan… and believes Beijing is already building a historical narrative to justify territorial claims over Okinawa, the Philippines, and other Pacific territories. 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼🇯🇵
“This is my crazy theory, and people can disagree with me. But nobody in history has ever built a gigantic amphibious landing force, used it once, and then dismantled it—except for the United States.
If China takes Taiwan, I think they’re immediately going to hop over to Okinawa, parts of the Philippines, and maybe parts of Vietnam as well.
Xi Jinping has been talking about the Ryukyu Islands, where Okinawa is located, and historical tributary relationships with China.
They’re not bringing up ancient history just because they love wandering through national archives looking at obscure tributary states.
They’re constructing a national narrative that would allow them to convince their people to start with Taiwan—and then go after more of America’s Pacific allies.”

中国・新疆のウイグル人収容施設を命がけで撮影し、世界に伝えた関恒氏。2020年に撮影、2021年に公開した映像は、迫害を検証する貴重な資料となった。
中国を逃れた後、米国でICEに拘束されたが、2026年1月に亡命が認められ、2月に釈放された。
迫害を告発した人を守るのは、人権を掲げる国の責任だ。彼の勇気と、収容された人々の苦しみを忘れてはならない。

Navi Pillay, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, was UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014.
Below are emails sent to China during her tenure, giving advance info on who would speak out about China's human rights abuses.
Pillay declined to attend the award to Liu Xiaobo.

This is not a joke.
The Russian biological war research should have us all concerned and stopping ALL flight from Russia, and all Russians from entry.
The longer this goes on the more countries we will have to stop flight from.
FYI: the Russians were working on a plague that is resistant to antibiotics
Russia's plague outbreak is getting worse, now with 5 hospitals in Irkutsk quarantined, universities canceling classes and accusations from healthcare workers that the government is attempting a media cover-up.
Nearly 200 contacts of a 28-year-old anti-plague laboratory worker who died last week are reportedly under isolation or medical observation.
Irkutsk universities are canceling classes citing a “case of pneumonic plague,” while an aluminum plant introduced mandatory masks. A local government warning advising residents not to travel to Shelekhov was published and later deleted.
Healthcare workers claim doctors are discussing plague internally while avoiding the diagnosis in official documents.
Russian health authorities continue to deny any plague outbreak, attributing the woman's death to “pneumonia of unknown origin.”
Pneumonic plague is far worse that it's Bubonic cousin as its transmitted directly between humans.

The fact that mainstream media are now reporting this - its no longer chatter on social media only - tells you this is serious. Are we going to learn from our lessons with covid, or are we going to make the same mistakes.
The first step should be to cut off all air travel in and out of #Russia. Isolate the risk of spread. That didn't happen with covid - lets not make the same mistake with something far more deadly.

Pro-Beijing propagandists insisting that Uyghur dancing at Starbucks in Xinjiang promoted on social media is an authentic display of Uyghur cultural identity and not a dystopian subjugation by party-state power and global capital to serve both profit and party ideology.
