No u.

If you’re actually interested in Chinese justice vs. American justice, and how that’s related to rule of law vs. party leadership, there’s interesting things to say.

However, a month old account coming in and fixating on race, which wasn’t even mentioned in OP but rather later in response to someone else, seems more like trolling.

I mean, you can argue with .ml about political philosophy or economics, but it’s a waste of time because that’s not their real motive. You might as well argue rocketry with a moon landing denier.

“These places you have funny ideas about are real places to me, and they’re not like that” is more productive. They can either actually engage, or run away to protect themselves.

No, you got called out on basically being a left-themed orientalist, and now want to run away.

I have family in adjacent, politically similar countries. Most likely, you’re a white person with no connections to Asia who likes to project fantasies on it, which is why you’re on .ml.

It’s a Liberal concept, not a Western one. Tudor England or whatever worked the same way before the age of revolutions. As did everything else all the way back to prehistory, more or less.

Yup, you can write anything. The USSR also guaranteed freedom of speech in it’s constitution, IIRC.

People who are purely Western often forget it, but laws that actually apply to everyone all the time are a very recent phenomenon. Historically, and in other places, they’re more like guidelines for what to do when there’s no other major considerations.

I really doubt they’ll actually stick to this in practice. Keep in mind, China is not a place with binding rule of law.

When it gets in the way of whatever industrial expansion, workers rights to not have toxic rocket fuel falling on them or to get paid for their house being demolished aren’t even respected.

Cool, thanks.

It’s a joke. Please laugh. /s

And yet, everybody smashed upvote on this rage bait without reading it. Education and wealth only gets you so far.

TBF they didn’t really make direct factual claims here, they just quoted the sources, so even if it’s not true it’s not a lie. I’m not sure how often Fox News just straight up lies either.

X to doubt.

The analyst in “says analyst” was a guy on Twitter.

It is mentioned that PCHR recorded similar testimony from a Palestinian source later on.

Again, maybe, maybe not.

“Source I’ve never seen claims someone on Twitter heard something outrageous from an anonymous source”

Did this happen? Maybe. Is this upvoted solely because of people’s pre-existing biases? Yup.

If only it was a live modern person he would have gotten away with it.

Some of it could be down to the lighting, although the hair does look kind of red. In Ethiopia he definitely gets depicted as black.

I saw an interesting argument a while back that asking for a one-state solution would actually be the best way to get a two-state solution.

Israel is dependent on the West, and in the West it’s pretty easy to mess with the arguments for or against a seperation. It’s just too nuanced and technical. On the other hand, “we want equal rights” is pretty much impossible to openly contradict in any way.

Yep. He doesn’t really seem to grasp the idea of having or maintaining credibility, with threats or anything else.

As they say on TV, thank you, no further questions.

I will insult

this is just ad hominem you are engaging in

Ah yes, the homosexual Nazi-commie-Jews Putin warned us about.
