The reason I wanted to write this article is that the comment “women’s sense of history is generally inferior to men’s” by Mr. Fucha, the editor-in-chief of Taiwan‘s Eight Flags Press, has led to criticism of “sexism”, and some people even said they would never buy another book from Eight Flags again. The Taiwanese left has been following the American left for years, and has taken the American left as a guideline for everything, so I feel the need to write about this topic. This article explains the fourth generation of human rights and its derivative, the fourth generation of women’s rights, promoted by the American left, and includes links to the relevant laws. I believe that most Taiwanese have common sense and the ability to think independently.
The Right to Smoke Marijuana in the Fourth Generation of Human Rights in the United States
After the bizarre “Biden Curve” on election night, November 3, 2020, Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), could not contain his excitement and immediately issued a long-prepared article in The Hill. He claimed that on election night, there was an undeniable winner, and it wasn’t Trump or Biden, it was marijuana. Because that same night, election night, November 3, 2020, Oregon passed “Bill 110,” becoming the first state in the United States to legalize “hard drugs” such as heroin, and USA Today reported that New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, and the United States have legalized marijuana. USA Today reported that New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana, and Arizona all passed bills legalizing adult use of marijuana on Nov. 3. (These states legalized recreational marijuana on Election Day, Jay Cannon, USA TODAY)
It’s important to talk about Oregon, a state that pioneered drug deregulation in the U.S. In 1973, it was the first state to decriminalize marijuana possession. This state’s Antifa showed their full capacity to disrupt the world in 2020, with Portland as their base.
Within the month of the election, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2020″ aimed at ending federal marijuana prohibition ” or the “MORE Act of 2020”), which would legalize marijuana. This is the first Time the federal Congress has considered and approved a bill to legalize marijuana. (Cannabis In 2021: What Do the Election Wins Mean? Fri /Jan 1st by Cara Wietstock) By almost all accounts, 2021 could be a huge year for the growing cannabis space. The cannabis industry is already optimistically predicting that newly legalized states have the potential to be the driving force behind federal reform, thanks to broad bipartisan support for cannabis reform.
The above scenario suggests that the 40-year-long people’s war on marijuana has finally borne fruit. It is important to note that the war against drugs and sexual promiscuity became the standard for anti-war youth in 1968 when the anti-Vietnam War, and as the parade swept through all 50 states, the war on drugs started by Nixon finally lost to the people’s war on marijuana. 2008, the first black president in U.S. history, Barack Obama, won the election, he publicly claimed to have smoked marijuana when he was young, and this affinity for marijuana immediately made U.S. states more recklessly marijuana-friendly. In 2012, Washington State and Colorado passed the Colorado Amendment 64 (2012 Colorado Amendment 64) and the Washington Initiative 502 bill (Washington Initiative 502) respectively, the first in the world to implement the legalization of recreational marijuana, but also The bill also ushered in a new era of legalized recreational marijuana in the United States.
According to Gallup polls, the percentage of Americans who agree with the full legalization of marijuana rose from 31% to 44% between 2000 and 2009. But it was only two years from 2009-2011, a jump of five points. This had a lot to do with the support of then President Barack Obama.
During his original campaign for the Senate, Obama expressed his views on Nixon’s war on drugs in a debate at Northwestern University: “The war on drugs has been a complete failure. We need to reconsider the statute on marijuana and make it legal.” He had confessed to having used drugs as a youth, a speech that must have struck a chord with many drug users in the United States.
In the people’s war to legalize marijuana, American college students are the main force, and every year the Top 10 and Top 20 marijuana-friendly colleges are ranked. berkeley College in California is known nationwide for its marijuana-friendliness, and the annual Marijuana Day on April 10 is a day of revelry for its students. More than 60 percent of the world’s drug production goes to the United States, and since 2002, 8.2 percent of the U.S. population has used drugs.
The University of Michigan’s Monitering the Future reported in September 2018 that.
- 41% of students have used illicit drugs.
- 38 percent of current college students have tried marijuana.
Biden brings a green to America
The legalization of marijuana in the United States is not a fringe issue, but one that is being embraced by the mainstream of American politics. The Democratic Party has deliberately transformed the American way of Life, including one thing: to usher in a green America, to make all 50 states grow marijuana and become a nation of marijuana. The American flag that was raised during the countless marches by American hemp people demanding the legalization of marijuana looked like this.
In the beginning of January, in Michigan, California and Washington, D.C., a number of areas that allow the legal use of marijuana products, a number of marijuana products companies have announced that local citizens can go to participating marijuana stores to receive free marijuana products with proof of vaccination for the new crown. The program has been announced by cannabis businesses in several areas, including California and Washington, D.C. The legalization process is being launched across the United States with great fanfare. (“The New “Traffic Code”? U.S. Cannabis Merchants Advertise Free Marijuana with Vaccination,” Jan. 22, 2021)
Marijuana has been industrialized in the United States, the University of Denver, such prestigious schools have opened marijuana courses, from production, production to sales, botany (agronomy), business schools and other firepower, said to train a new generation of marijuana entrepreneurs for the United States, this thing, I have to wait for a special article, here only mention a stems. Moreover, the United States consumes more than 60% of the world’s drugs, the national rollout of marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin in a few states to keep up, will reshape the world’s drug production, supply and marketing production chain, is a big thing.
White House’s contradictory moves on marijuana legalization
On March 19, the White House fired five marijuana-smoking staffers and reassigned the remaining dozens to remote positions. Aaron Smith, CEO of the National Cannabis Industry Association, said the White House “has seen three of the last five presidents, including the former boss of the current president, admit to consuming marijuana. Therefore, the idea of this firing is ludicrous. The executive mentioned that the three are Bush, Clinton and Obama, and the executive did not mention the current vice president, He Jinli, a claim that shows one thing: the legalization of marijuana in the United States is not a fringe issue, but an issue that is being accepted by the mainstream of American politics.
By firing or transferring some marijuana-smoking employees, the White House is actually acknowledging that marijuana has side effects that affect jobs. In this case, but let the whole American people smoke marijuana freely, this result will lead to the high marijuana smoking areas will have no qualified workforce.
Fourth-generation women’s rights have lost their way and are being sidelined by other human rights
Since modern times, human rights and women’s rights have developed in tandem: the first generation of women’s rights demanded political rights, mainly the right to vote and to participate in politics; the second generation demanded economic rights, employment equality, and equal pay for equal work. The third generation of human rights is the right to sexual pluralism, while the same generation of women’s rights is dominated by the demand for sexual liberation. In the fourth generation of human rights, the United States incorporated same-sex Marriage, transgender rights, the right to smoke marijuana, BLM (black people are given priority in Education and employment, and can receive large financial compensation), individual religions cannot be criticized, and reports of black and Muslim people involved in crimes must omit race and religion, etc.; the fourth generation of women’s rights, of course, is equal to the progress of human rights, and these do not exclude women, who must always demand something for The extremists advocate entering marriage without traditional wifely responsibilities, including the biological responsibility of bearing and raising children, and men should do the same, as Western societies are so open that the government and businesses take maternity leave for men but cannot get them pregnant. With sexual satisfaction readily available and women rejecting Family responsibilities, many men choose not to marry, which also causes women of marriageable age to miss out on marriage. Many lose the opportunity to marry after their 40s, become homosexual for social reasons, and then marry same-sex partners, and in some cases adopt children and play the role of family. It is good that some countries, represented by the United States, have legalized same-sex marriage, and fourth-generation feminism has caused many women to be able to organize same-sex families after losing their marriages.
On March 17, Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austiinis publicly stated that the U.S. military’s priority is to prioritize lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender women in its decision-making process. LGBTQ people’s rights to advancement in the U.S. military are a priority in its decision-making process, and that doesn’t leave women’s rights out of the equation.
But there’s something that’s not sitting well with some in the feminist community: On his first day in the White House, Biden issued a presidential decree that U.S. schools should allow students to play sports according to their chosen gender identity. This has already happened in Obama’s second term, with a number of transgender people and biological men who psychologically self-identify as women participating in women’s sports, taking away Gold medals and leaving many female athletes who had been preparing for years without them. Idaho, which has seen men who identify as women take gold in women’s games, passed the Idaho Fairness in Women’s Sports Act in 2020. signed the Mississippi Fairness Act, which banned transgender participation in women’s sports in Mississippi to protect fairness in women’s sports. The state legislature subsequently passed the bill by a vote of 81 to 28. But these are just two states; there is no law yet in the National Women’s Games that prohibits men who identify themselves as women from competing in women’s sports.
Fourth-generation feminism in the United States will also face many new issues, such as the fact that Massachusetts already has Cambridge (Cambrige, Home of Harvard University) and Somerville, both of which have legalized polygamous families through polygamy, which means that a home practices open marriage and can have multiple husbands and wives; one person can be a husband or wife in multiple households. According to the old classic narrative, monogamy is a progressive form of family arising from the protection of women’s rights in the family. In supporting such women’s rights, should fourth-generation feminists not consider whether women have more to gain or lose in such marriages?
When I visited Taiwan in 2019, I explicitly stated that the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party was ideologically pro-U.S. Democrats and leftists, which is certainly a freedom for the left in Taiwan. However, now that this fourth generation of human rights in the United States has come out, there are microaggressions in French and German public opinion, and I hope some progressive Taiwanese youth will think more about what they can and cannot follow before they follow.
