Matt Taibi was on Bill Maher’s HBO show defending Pelosi saying what she did is cool and principled because China is a “human rights violator” and it’s “worth taking a stance sometimes.”
And it’s because of the “donors” with commercial interests in China that most politicians are reluctant to speak out.
Hero.
I hope the sanctions have at least some material consequence.
:liberalism:
It's insane. Even from a pro-Taiwan perspective, what Pelosi did was stupidly rash. For everyday folks in Taiwan, not 'rocking the boat' is what's best for cross-strait relations.
Edit: so in effect, Taibi is saying that Taiwan people should be used as geopolitical pawns and put into the crossfire just so Pelosi can scold China
Well yes, being able to sanctimoniously lecture people from a position of privilege is what liberal cranks love
