This is inevitable:

Once the people in China can only see the CCP's version of everything,

& ALL stuff has been adulterated, either by AI or by some agency-or-other,

THEN dissent should die-down in the Chinese population:


Read Lanier's "Foreign to Familiar" to understand how Tropical-Culture vs Nordic-Culture shapes people, & how old-cultures vs new-cultures shape people,

then read Hofstede's "Exploring Culture" to understand the dimensions of culture that his Cultural Dimensions Theory digs into ( power-distance, uncertainty-avoidance, "success"-orientation, & other dimensions )..

& when you understand how we're kind of "template" people, before being born into culture,

but once born into it, our entire meaning gets framed within whatever culture we were born into..

therefore, the CCP can simply remove most diversity-of-meaning from their completely-possessed-population, through a generation or 2 of that.

Tibetan, Uyghur, Hongkonger, Taiwanese, Indian, South-Korean, Japanese, the intent is consistent: "the destruction of " .. others .. "is the midwife of Chinese supremacy".


I expect a similar kind of program to exist in all right-possessed countries, as the right is doing in the US, right now, with burning or banning books, eradicating proper education, suppressing libraries, etc, they're just doing the same thing as what the CCP's doing, only less-skillfully, is all.

No real difference in their deeper heart/motivation/intent, though: supremacism, crushing/destroying all "other" kinds.

Russia's big on it, too, isn't it?

Islamism..

The "Crusades" were good examples of this kind of idiocy?

The "Inquisition"?

The "Buddhist" genociding of Tamils?

So long as the "home" story is .. "coherent", & "justifies" all, then .. kids grow up .. believing, right?


There's a book, & a Big Think yt video, on "Collective Illusions", which is important!

Please invest in seeing that video, & see how it's actually a delusion-mechanism in our minds..

..used by political-forces, yes, but they couldn't use it if it didn't exist, could they?

There is always something you can do about it. Always.
