Cuba? Monoethnic? Like… if there’s one thing people know about ethnicity in Cuba it’s the contributions of Afrocubans to the revolution
What is going here? Is this all post Soviet world building lore generated by nato?
It’s that and the fact that the Soviets didn’t go far enough to purge/reeducate Balts that were, at minimum, 100% fine with the Nazis. A pretty common pattern, actually: the USSR plays something soft for good will and gets smacked because the other side were unredeemably fascist.
As a reaction, I think its underlying impetus is islamophobic renaissance broughy to the forefront by 9/11 and the associated media and political response. Angloids latched on, in part, to Christianity because it was proximal, but in terms of the material changes that were happening, and what consent needed to br manufactured, it really revolved around the question of how to dehumanize muslims and make them deserving targets of violence.
Some of the new atheists were pretty explicit that islam was their primary enemy and doubler and tripled and quadrupled down on islamophobic rhetoric even as people stopped caring about atheist stuff. That crowd is the same one that also went down the misogynist path.

There is also a lot of horny tiktok/youtube/twitch content clearly targeted at pedos. Dressing up as kids, acting childlike. There’s only one audience for that.
That’s a bubble that will burst once it actually needs to be used for anything mission-critical.
I wanna know what kinda guy made this
Instead of tipping 37%, as most hexbears would need to, simply give your server a knife with which to stab the employer.
The term is new but the concept is not. It picked up in liberal academic circles because they’re constantly rediscovering things that communists and anarchists already knew 150 years ago and forcing it through the lens of liberal “progress” as if it’s a brand new insight. The important part is to remove the socialism aspect.
It ends up working as a form of recuperation, a toothless mimic of organising for social change that is frequently wielded against socialists that say, “economics too” (which, incidentally, was included in the original liberal definition).
Anyways I still use the term to communicate with liberals as a shorthand for “I’m not a reactionary, how about you?”
SWCC is more about the direction China took under Deng, which can be anything from praise to neutral to derisive depending on what someone thinks of Deng and that direction (I think it’s worked out reasonably well, personally). It is heavily drawn from the direction under Mao, and by necessity cites Mao, so they aren’t purely distinct but I would say that means learning about SWCC should involve reading Mao but you can read Mao without SWCC. e.g., the Black Panthers were inspired by Mao’s writings and built on them, but did not build on Deng / SWCC.
