Many in 🇨🇳China’s gay community are strangers to Western #LGBT cultures, and Westerners are unfamiliar with their Chinese counterparts’ lifestyles
Using Western metrics like #pride month & #rainbowcapitalism 🏳️🌈 to weigh their joy is intellectually flawed

#Homosexuality existed throughout ancient China, but #gaypride is a modern American celebration → its irrelevance here is nothing to be appalled about
Demanding Asian policies to be more Westernised reinforces the harmful narrative that homosexuality is a Western “lifestyle” 👬

Gay venues and activities in China are unlike those in the West. E.g. In #Chengdu, teahouses are a popular LGBT integration space 🍵
Allies should NOT assume that they are oppressed based on a limiting framework that reduces the West to #liberalism and the East to #conservatism

#Erdogan has won the elections in #Turkey.
#Indian #liberals are dismayed because Erdogan is trying to #Islamize Turkey.
But this is a decision of the people of Turkey.
Erdogan has won through a democratic, free and fair election.
This is what the people of Turkey want.

If you claim to love #Democracy, that is, the will of the people, then you should be happy with this result.
Erdogan is a #Democrat. He is not #Liberal. He converted the #HagiaSophia into a mosque.
But #Democracy has NOTHING TO DO with #Liberalism, and vice versa.

@JohnDunlea @appfeed67 @RaymondZino @EdKrassen So what
US has the most legal guns but is only halfway down the gun-murder league table
Serbia & Israel are in the top few countries with the most legal gun ownership per person but are 3/4 way down
Switzerland 2nd most (possibly most per household) & was falling off bottom!🤦♂️

@JohnDunlea @appfeed67 @RaymondZino @EdKrassen So why does US have so many mass shootings such as in schools
When other high gun legal ownership countries don't have mass shootings or even high gun murders
AND US DIDN'T HAVE EITHER BEFORE GUN CONTROLS
What are "liberals" trying to distract & deflect from with gun control😱

“Yang Zhu's choice was 'everyone for himself.' Though he might benefit the entire world by plucking out a single hair, he would not do it.”—Mencius, Jin Xin I, 26 [Chan]

Everyone • not • lose • one • hair, • everyone • not • benefit • heaven • under, • heaven • under • order • is.
Thanks to @Mariusj001 for posting the original classical of what Yang Zhu is recorded saying.

it is difficult to talk about Western or American #conservatism these days—or #liberalism or #centrism for that matter. these meanings of all these terms, and dozens of other political terms, have been rendered deliberately confusing and multivariate.
so has #politics.

especially since the days of @RonaldReagan's catastrophic figurehead presidency, especially, "politics" have been made into a dirty word—something nobody is supposed to talk about too much in polite conversation, or during reviews of games or books or movies or anything.

probably this process was well underway by the time the @GOP and @Peggynoonannyc succeeded in propping up their cowboy-actor mannequin, @RonaldReagan, behind a podium and programmed him to spout neo-fascıst blather about "crime" and "the evil empire" and other such trash.

I would say:
Of course, “democracy is good only insofar as it produces good outcomes.”
For there are higher values: freedom, justice, human rights, human flourishing. Any political system, at any time and milieu, is as good as it serves these timeless values.

Put simply, #democracy is about "who governs."
#Liberalism is about "how they govern." (Within rule of law, and without violating human rights.)
So, of course, I value liberalism over democracy. Without it, democracy can collapse into majoritarian tyranny, even fascism.

What is the problem I see in illiberal democracy, which @shadihamid is defending?
I think this recent conversation explains it well: In his view, there is no universal value such as religious freedom. So, it is "the right" of the French electorate to issue bans on Muslim women.

(1/9) Since I have read the last few days some discussions:
I always like to remember that the #Catholic Church has damaged my country for the last 1200 years at a stretch. For me, as a #German, Martin #Luther and Lutheran #Protestantism is a piece of #liberation for my country.

(2/9) Why I don't like the Catholic Church that much in return:
I. Walk to Canossa, destruction of earliest German central state efforts
II. Beheading of Conradin, destruction of German imperial nobility
III. Delegitimization of the Teutonic Knights and their eastern settlement

‘The Trojan Horse Scandal and the Problem of Equalities in Britain Today’.
The event examined the scandal from a broad range of perspectives, engaging with debates on #equalities, #liberalism, and #Britishness.

The event examined the scandal from a broad range of perspectives, engaging with debates on #equalities, #liberalism, and #Britishness.
northernnotes.leeds.ac.uk/the-trojan-hor…
It also provided an opportunity to discuss and generate a dialogue about the significance of the 'Trojan Horse’ scandal and the duty placed on schools after the scandal to promote Fundamental British Values (FBV) in the promotion of #democracy.
Speakers analysed how both are reproducing narratives of racial discrimination & inequalities in a context that is informed by minoritising communities, #problematising specific religious #values, & essentialising the signification of social, religious, & cultural identities.
