Hey Chinese Americans,

You know all those stories your grandparents told you about during the cultural revolution? Like how your neighbour's uncle got arrested for listening to the radio and and so and so snitched on this person or that person?

If you're lucky enough to have grandparents/aunts uncles old enough to remember any of this, ask them about life then. Ask them how they survived. Ask them what kinds of things they did.

All those lessons are about to become very useful. I heard my grandma tell the same stories and got bored of them. I sure wish I listened when I had the chance and took the lessons in.

There are fewer and fewer who remember those days but there are still some. Ask for their stories. You won't regret asking.

@chu Yes, have been asking.

The alternative, while it is still available, is to move to those countries that still remember this history.

Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Europe…

@ShrikeTron @chu

Sadly enough, Europe has a huge rise of far right extremist politicians followed by masses of people. I thought I never in my life would experience what my parents lived btw 1930 and 1945.

My father always told me the First Responsibility of Politicians, and people, was to avoid anything that might lead to War. That very thought at the root to the creation of United Europe' first EEC has long been forgotten.

Europe is Not a Safe place any longer.

We have to prepare to Resist.

@RosalieRose in the Netherlands so-called liberals and 'decent' 'Christian Democrats' work with them, next to a company basically based on romantization of farming. I don't have a good sense of Germany's politics, but i see indications Christian Democrats will end up working with AfD too.. 😞

Though they're better, dont mean to say we should have too much faith in Green parties or centrists either. Also because they did not really join anti genocide protests @ParabenAparaten @ShrikeTron @chu

@jasper @RosalieRose @ShrikeTron @chu

I would not say that Green parties did not really join anti-genocide protests: it is possible however that she is not representative of all green supporters.
