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.

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.

HG Wells and Arthur C Clark gang here. Just dunking all day long on Heinlein stans. Yeah, we're cool.

The land set aside is pretty small and in the side of a mountain at relatively high altitudes.

Expensive ski places suck but cheap ones exist. Kinda depends on where you live. $100-$200 season passes are still a thing many places and are (at least) a lower middle class kind of thing, like driving a slightly nicer Toyota.
