    how about a grandiose non-apology along the lines of "we're deeply sorry Australia has so many child murderers"

    All the imperialists in the imperial Core like to say that the chinese are polluters, nazis, totalitarian, islamophobes and that they are commiting genocide, all they are doing is projecting their crimes into China, the west are just following the doctrine of their favorite nation the nazis

    lol let Australia get mad that the rest of the world is calling them out on war crimes. China is Australia's largest trading partner, so Xi will has those Anglos in an economic vice grip if they keep terrorizing the world.

    A good book on the concept of free speech is "The Case Against Free Speech" by P. E. Moskowitz:

    Journalist P.E. Moskowitz’s latest book The Case Against Free Speech is provocatively titled, but does a good job of persuading why we ought to regard free speech more like magical unicorn horns: as something that does not exist, has never existed, and fundamentally can never exist in the world we’ve created.

    But the author goes further, and they demonstrate how those who fight in the name of “free speech” end up working on behalf of fascists, transphobes, misogynists, and petro-billionaires — to extend the analogy, actively aiding rhinoceros poachers on behalf of defending the principle that magical unicorn horns should exist...

    Moskowitz’s book, by centering power in the evaluation of speech’s freedom, reframes how someone who supports the ideal of free speech ought to focus themselves.

    The ACLU does not have unlimited resources. Every time it throws some of those resources toward Nazis, it comes at the expense of DAPL protestors arrested for standing on their own land, Black Lives Matter organizers personally sued for the actions of anyone in their march, or trans people fired for existing.

    Nor do you, with your time, attention, or energy have unlimited resources. Whether it’s tone-policing college students who want to feel safe from physical danger on their own campuses or showing solidarity with white supremacists under the guise of free speech, it’s not a neutral act, regardless of whatever appeals to neutrality you want to make. Free speech does not exist, it never has existed, and it probably never can exist under the current system.

    So if you’re going to go out of your way to advocate for something, the least you can do is come up with a reason for the thing you’re actually advocating for rather than hiding behind a fantasy to avoid acknowledging what you support.

    I got into an argument about China with a friend. How do you exactly break someone abt the role of US propaganda and state dept and media if they find these institutions trustworthy? I told them to read inventing reality. I also sent them an article about Adrian zenz but I doubt it’ll get through to them.

    One of these is not like the other, I like how leftists in America have really taken the mantle to defend Islam and ultraconservative Muslims interpretations that anyone depicting Muhammed should be put to death.

      Why does it happen that people like you simply forget the definition of "punching down" as soon as it is something related to Islam?

        Lol Eastern European/Central Asian migrants have a worse time in Western Europe then blacks and Arabs, higher percentage working in low skilled jobs and lowest wages. I grew up in Central Asia as well, So I'm actually punching up, get fucked.

        I actually changed my mind tho, let the ultra conservative muslims I grew up with move to where you live and they have creative ways of dealing with you lot. I don't even dislike Muslims since I grew up with them but you lot are defending literal Salafi nonsense. Wonder if you would have the same reaction to depictions of Jesus because last I checked a good amount of Africa is Christian

        Oh god, it's you again, come here to whine about some shithole country in my region in Eastern Europe. The police photo shit was idiotic but they removed it already so alas.
