Exiled Chinese artist Ai Weiwei: 'Censorship in West exactly the same as Mao's China' - YouTube'Sometimes even more ridiculous.' If two professors give opinions, a kind of private talk, then they have to be fired. It is considered attitude, not private opinion. You cannot talk about the truth anywhere.
Certain matters, you just cannot touch.
‘Art is a special form of freedom of speech. If freedom of speech doesn’t exist we cannot call it art. And any artist who's not an artist is a dead artist.'
Artists in this society are mostly corrupted. Seeking money or fame, no one really cares.
‘Are you a real artist, or are you too arrogant?’
‘I cannot exercise my rights or my art, but still I can live well there.’

"Many of My Shows Have Been Canceled": Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei on Israel, Gaza & Censorship - YouTubeEven if you're a person who default-postion doesn't see anything wrong with wearing a front-facing camera (glasses with cameras), and says ‘I have the right to do what I want’ and that ‘public space you can do what you want’, won't they, over time, feel the social pressure of sitting down at a table with friends or new acquaintances or business partners who react very negatively to their imposition and invasion/threat to privacy of that person, that they after a few instances just say it's not worth it and I guess I will respect other people after all?
So if you want to see people be more respectful of this, your solution should maybe be not to focus on defense, ie masks, etc, but rather on low-grade persistent offense, ie calling people out, confronting them, when they are being invasive and annoying, but not fighting them, so that you can continue to do so and so that they will be worn down through education to change.
Girls are more likely than parents to be liberal, men more conservative, GenZ.
Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW Analysis - YouTubeBoys and men are behind in education at every age, every subject. Scandanavia is the biggest gap, men are most behind. The gap is as pronounced as they were the other way around in the 70s or whatever. There's no difference in testing intelligence, but there is in who finishes and tries in education.
Some of this has to do with girls maturing at younger age, so they are more ready for responsiblities or whatever of school.
‘Useless’ and ‘worthless’. ‘Are they needed? Are then necessary?’
You can look at the opportunities for men. They can work part time. They can stay at home and raise children. These were things denied to men who had been the default breadwinner.
Structural disadvantages. Blacks. Poverty, neighborhoods, frontline work.
Rich men, who don't have to worry about being the breadwinner because they can easily provide and because their partners often can also provide, it's easier for them to be feminist and say there's no problem. Poorer men, who can't provide and have to focus on trying to be a provider (and traditional gender role). Zero sum. Toxic masculinity blames men for their own plight. Using the word ‘toxic’ is toxic itself, you've signalled your politics and that you are their enemy, and they will stop listening.
Andrew Tate is idolized, not just listened to. Not just important but profound. He speaks truth, he vilifies women and feminism, mocks empathy and kindness. He socializes boys a certain way. Can they be deprogrammed? The reason they find a market is young men are struggling with questions and there's nobody else trying to give an answer, except feminists saying ‘Stop being so toxic.’ We have a problem with strong male role-models.
‘They don’t care about male suicide.' (It is 4x women.) Where do they mention the gender gap on the government site? They do LGBTQ, veterans, urban, which are all smaller disparities. No wonder Andrew Tate can pick up followers.
Fathers need to understand that and how they are valuable to their children, without the element of being the provider. What men do for children and families, society.
There's no shared culture now. A teacher can't mention any TV show that more than 1/4 of the students have seen. There is no movie half the students have seen.
