The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”
Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.
Yes, my point is that any state with laws is authoritarian. I think I also said in another post that I think an authoritarian government does not have to be bad. The problem is that the government is doing bad things, though, so like…
How do we not all understand the moral inconsistency of insisting people “not vote for genocide” and then be complicit in things like Russian imperialism and Chinese suppression of freedoms lol
Except for Hong Kong and Ukraine, of course. Lol.
The “bad things” you pointed to were putting down violent protests from the Chinese equivalent of 4chan posters. The “freedoms” the CPC suppresses are not blanket but instead directed against capitalists, fascists, and those that undermine the socialist system and work against the majority of society. There is nothing inconsistent about opposing the right-wing DNC and GOP and supporting socialism.
Violent protests according to whom btw?
Counter-protestors and the government. That’s why it’s important to recognize that the majority opposed independence.
Idk I mean obviously you gave me the NYT so it’s probably pretty anti-China and depicts all this stuff as fighting back. But do you have evidence it’s not?
Obviously the conflict was two-sided. The rioters called it “fighting back,” while the counter-protestors supported the extradition law that would allow the government to arrest a convicted murderer that had fled to Hong Kong to avoid punishment. The correct course was to put down the riots, which happened with less than 5 deaths according to Wikipedia.
I don’t think it’s fair to classify the protests as riots when the violence seems to have mostly been escalated from the police side and the violence against counter protesters seems to be fairly isolated incidents taking place between small groups? Give some more insight, you might be turning me a little bit here
Why do you believe the riots started? Why were they put down, and how? Western reporting on counter-protests was limited because western media supported the anti-PRC protests, as they usually do, but that doesn’t mean they did not exist.
