China Knows: Big Tech Hires Very Few People
2021-08-12
[RedState] The United States is a very young country. Our sense of history is compressed. Our history is a blip on the radar of many other nations’ and peoples’ histories. So our perspective on things is often quite different.

China has been China for thousands of years. Basically the same people living in the same place for eons. With a very different history — which imbues them with a very different perspective.

We in the US are VERY fortunate. The reason we remember so desperately the Great Depression is because it was such an anomaly for us. Ten years of hard times scarred the psyche of generations of Americans.

#12  Saying one culture is more patient than the other just sounds like an excuse for a prideful country trying to adapt to not being in the lead.

#10  OK, it's been many years since I studied history in college and I'm not surprised if Black History and Chicano Studies have replaced some of the more, um, traditional courses. But, still, the study of history is not limited by the length of time the United States of America has been a nation.

I would agree with Thing From Snowy Mountain about Chinese influence on Big Tech. The only thing I know to do about it personally is to not use them, not give them any opportunity to make any money from me or to influence me. Same with the big corporate media companies. Turn 'em off, change the channel, read a book or go outside and get some exercise.

#9  studying History is a big endeavor and requires the ability to correlate alot of divergent sources. Studying the History of China ( or India ) is a large undertaking an takes alot of time and thought. This is a somewhat simple article considering its premise, but its not inaccurate. China has been dealing with "Christians" for a long time and pretty much have our weak point nailed down. that being "Mammon"...just sayn'

#8  This opinion piece isn't the truth. It's the modified limited hangout.

What they aren't mentioning:

US Big Tech is more or less controlled by China.

It's used by them to make war against us with plausible deniability.

Google and microsoft are clubs in the hand of whoever the chinese emperor is at the time.

And I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of all the half truths and modified limited hangouts as well.

#4  There are all kinds of history books out there and all kinds of history classes in our universities.

Where have you been for the last few years? Here it 'burg somebody post an article about history courses abolished by a major University every week. But you [Americans] do have black history courses & womyn history courses.

#3  Wealth is power. Concentration of power is bad (except in warfare). Time for modern Teddy Roosevelt to come for the Silicon valley?
Mind you, CCP doesn't object to concentration of power per se - just power outside their own hands.

#2  And which histories have led their commie bosses to believe that government control of the means of production will succeed?

#1  There are all kinds of history books out there and all kinds of history classes in our universities. Anybody can study any aspect of the subject they choose without being limited to the history of just one nation. There are American, Chinese and world histories among hundreds of others. Which ones do the supposedly great and wise Chinese study?
