    University Teachers Will Have To Teach State-Approved Lessons

    History Will Be Forcibly Rewritten

    This is happening in the US RIGHT NOW. "Anti-Wokeness" is codeword for "Anti-Blasphemy".

    White people have practically been declared sacred cows above criticism in Texas. Yes, Texas has a socially acceptable hate speech law. History is already being rewritten by democratizing it. If you taught a page of Howard Zinn, or told the other side of the story for even 10 minutes in an American k-12 class: May God have mercy on your soul.

    Also, here's an article about it. The next time someone brings up that hate speech laws are bad, remind them that the GOP supports hate speech laws that protect white people.

    But China doesn’t care about democracy. And if their military starts to outpower America’s, we might just see an end to the era of soldiers swarming into underdeveloped countries.

    :powercry-1: NOOOO!!!! anything but the end of soldiers swarming into underdeveloped countries!!

      Weird how only Chinese soldiers "swarm" over things. Almost as if the author doesn't see Chinese people as human.

        The framing of that paragraph is weird. Are they saying American soldiers are swarming into underdeveloped countries?

          They are saying that. In addition, they're saying that American soldiers swarming into developing countries is good actually

          While the US has a history of sweeping into undeveloped countries and taking out dictators, China, as a rule, leaves them alone

      One abused leftist op-ed writer in the corner being able to wrestle the ball gag free long enough to put in one or two counter points before being thrown back into the basement.

    I thought it was on the brink of total collapse, now its on the verge of total domination?

    Liberals can't make their minds up.

      It was written in 2018, but that's always been the case with China. I remember seeing "China's economy will collapse within ____ number of days!" as far back as 2002.

      I don’t know how it is in the American education system, - I’m guessing it’s probably the same? - but at my school we were specifically taught in English classes to read newspaper articles to analyse them for biases.

      It should not shock you to learn that this does not occur in the American education system in any meaningful capacity.

      Everything else here is plausible. But I see Japan as one of those stubborn capitalist hold-outs that cling to archaic ways of life for generations yet to come.

      That's why they'll ultimately be cut out. They'll close off their society and marinate in their own hubris for another century before the rot finally caves everything in.

    There’s every reason to think that this will all build to a new Cold War—or, if things really go sour, a brutal, violent conflict that will only leave one superpower standing.

    Lmao. Yeah totally dude there would definitely be a superpower left standing, only that "superpower" that's left as the dominant military force on the planet will consist of a single pickup truck with a full tank of gas and a couple guys in it with AR-15's and little enough radiation poisoning that they might survive another 5 years or so.
