It could never happen here...

At the beginning of the imposed unanimity of thought and "correctness" in our land of freedom, I was reminded of the Cultural Revolution in China. The attached is from a Chinese Uighur who managed, against many odds, to flee to the US. He paints a vivid picture of what is happening in China today to impose unanimity of thought and eradicate "incorrectness," using suppression of potential terrorism and extremism as an excuse. It's not part of the historical past, but very much the present and a forewarning of where the current we are swimming in is taking us. https://www.theatlantic.com/the-uyghur-chronicles/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_content=20210714&silverid=%25%25RECIPIENT_ID%25%25&utm_term=The%20Atlantic%20Daily
