Martin68's JournalI think the Chinese response has been incoherent and unsustainable. They fucked up.
China is a complex mix of a top-down authoritarian leadership and a consensus-based society. That results in Beverly mixed messages and an ineffective response to unexpected crises.
I've not always agreed with Chomsky, but in this case I'm afraid I agree. His is a
clear-minded analysis of what happened, and what is happening now to finish what was stated on Jan 6. It's every clear-minded citizen's duty to vote in the next election, and do as much as they can to muster votes from the "undecided." This is a crisis, not only of democracy, but of the very Constitution of the Republic. As so many have already said, our democracy is in mortal danger.
Just keep the evidence adding up every time they try to normalize the behavior of Trumpist
conspiratorial insurrectionist traitors to our country.
I'm not sure I agree that Goldberg has "next to no knowledge."
Take a step back and consider that she may have a valid point to make when she prefers the term "man's inhumanity to man." Yes, she's wrong to say that racism wasn't a core element of the Nazi ideology. But Catholics, communists, and mentally challenged or handicapped white people were also the targets of their eugenic campaign that led to extermination in concentration camps. It's actually more complicated than just pure racism. As a black American, Goldberg's view of what constitutes racism could well be valid in spite of the majority's consensus that it was a purely racist program. It is not as black and white as some are insisting.
