a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

As we're dunking on Kaiser for how he attempted to frame annexing Taiwan these days, we might look at his essay from last year that got some attention--“The Great Reckoning: What the West Should Learn From China”. It is not a good argument even for those who make such arguments

Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

This Uyghur scholar says that as the Chinese government tries to destroy Uyghur culture in their homeland, the Uyghur people have to shift to a diasporic model of keeping culture alive - and cites Jewish history as a model for how to do this.
"But our strong sense of self has complicated Beijing’s efforts to integrate us into the Chinese nation. Its answer is to extinguish what it means to be Uyghur. A Financial Times investigation published in May documented Beijing’s systematic dismantlement of the mechanisms through which Uyghur identity is passed down. This includes taking Uyghur children from their families and sending them to boarding schools where they are forbidden from speaking their mother tongue, and eradicating Uyghur-language publishing and literature.

Uyghurs in the diaspora, scattered mostly across the United States, Europe and Central Asia, have responded. Families have launched volunteer-run Uyghur-language schools for our children. Cultural associations keep alive traditions like the meshrep — our vibrant communal gatherings featuring food, song, dance and moral education. Others are assembling online repositories of Uyghur literature, historical documents, photographs and recordings before they disappear.

We are not the first people to stand on this precipice. Diaspora Jews helped preserve Jewish identity for centuries; exiled Tibetans are struggling to do the same, as have many other peoples throughout history."

I think part of Westerners’ mistaken belief over how China treats its homeless stems from genuine concerns over welfare of the unhoused but a large part of it is also ‘look at China, you don’t have to see them, isn’t that great’
