So my water chemistry professor was lecturing us about climate change, and said

“By the way, China is set to reach its 2030 carbon reduction goals in around 4 years.” Which is the first time I’ve heard a professor say anything about China that wasn’t red scare paranoia.

A student said incredulously, “How?!?!”

The professor just shugged and said “I dunno, ask them.”

I fought the urge to explain how.

Communist planning and a high value placed on educating people and the science sector babyyyyy.

      To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type [of anxiety]

      You just made me read combat liberalism, and now I feel like shit because I meet like 6 of the types of liberalism lol
