  • When feminists, environmentalists or religious teachers are detained

    out of everything in the whole dogshit article, this is the part that stuck out the worst to me. China is trying to single handedly save the world from climate change with its massive and unprecedented investment in renewable energy and other technologies (let alone its other environmental policies like fighting desertification etc.), has fought for women’s liberation since before western women could own their own bank accounts, and 10/1 I bet these “religious leaders” are overwhelmingly falun gong death cultists


  • I think this is a misunderstanding of our suspicions of situations like what’s going down bangladesh; it’s not that there are not legitimate grievances from the people, far from it. It’s just that we are highly suspicious that since there is no organized left there that it has already/will be co-opted by the west and end up not only being worse for the country than the previous leader but also strengthen the west as a whole. he got banned off hexbear and I don’t know if he has a new account yet or not but @zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net’s experience with the arab spring really opened my perspective on the danger of unguided protests like this serving the west. like, think about how fortuitous it is for the west and isr*el in this current time that egypt just happens to be controlled by a man who is a lapdog to the west, a man who gained power because of the arab spring? what if a lapdog to the west gets installed in bangladesh and then war with china breaks out? I don’t envy your position there where both choices suck but this is something you really need to consider imo.
