Embed Notice

I know it's very difficult for people coming from diffuse societies to understand the nature of discrete societies, but concentrate here: in all of southeast Asia you're not going to generally find people making disparaging and belittling nicknames for people higher up in society or their output. This is true *even if they disagree with that person*.

There's NO way that "Little Red Book" would ever be the nickname for the "Treasured Red Book" even by opponents of Mao!
