Gilbert Doctorow — International relations, Russian affairs
Russian allegations of rampant Nazism in Europe (The basis of Nazism is exceptionalism leading to quest for dominance. This is the basis of not only German Nazism under Hitler. Those who identify specifically as Nazi show this, but there are many others that have similar views that don't identify with German Nazism or consider themselves Nazi. But exceptionalism (read superiority) is endemic in Western society and it manifests as systemic racism resulting from centuries of imperialism and colonization that have affected the culture. It's complicated. Doctorow explains. Should-read. Important but suppressed in the West.)

Sixth Tone (China)
For China’s New ‘New Women,’ a Dream of Flight ("the central theme that emerged from my fieldwork was not so much the decisive overthrow of neo-traditionalist ideals, but rather the exhausting emotional work that mobile women perform in mediating between divergent systems of gendered value." Another instance of liberalism colliding with traditionalism. The longer term result will be a modification of Chinese cultural value regarding gender. But it probably won't come quickly.)
