Hey now don’t you worry, liberals are working tirelessly to chant their magic incantations in the temples in the hopes that the robed priests will cast a spell against the state!
The MFA’s final warnings and condemnations are a joke even on Chinese social media. They hand out strong condemnations and final warnings like candy whenever the US sails down the Taiwan Strait.
I truly believe these public diplomatic pressers are completely worthless in terms of having any informative value whatsoever, in any country. It’s literally the job of these spokespeople to say platitudes and make vague statements that don’t really mean anything and carry no real weight behind them. Any time a journalist stupidly tries to get an actual statement it just results in the two sides running in circles and getting nowhere until the spokesperson finally gives an answer that is just the original statement rephrased. All of this could just be a few bullet points on a website. I honestly can’t recall the last time a journalist elicited any meaningful statement at a press briefing. These entire job of a MFA spokesperson is to stick to the script, the response to any question is to redirect back to it and restate it. This Q&A shit is a tiring exercise in pointlessness.
Actually, I was off by a bit: in January 2001, a group of Falun Gong cultists self-immolated in Tiananmen Square, bringing their children with them and setting them on fire, leading to the death of a 12 year old girl. This is who western liberals support.
I think it’s just revealed how utterly dead “free speech” is. When Charlie Kirk was spreading his vile bullshit, what was it? Oh the 1A has no exception for vulgar speech, hate speech, insulting speech, vile speech, demeaning speech, etc.
But now? Don’t you dare say you didn’t care he died if you want to keep your job. And since it’s a private entity firing you, 1A doesn’t apply, because reasons! Controlled speech bad, unless you outsource censorship to the private sector, then it’s good! I mean, this has always been true, this is just showing how absurd it really is.
It also doesn’t apply even if you work for the government, also because reasons. Or if you’re a black student at a public state university, also because reasons. Because, and liberals seem incapable of understanding this, the law is made up and they can do whatever the fuck they want.
This also exonerates and excuses the behavior of nazis like Nancy as if they aren’t in control of their behavior and aren’t fully aware of their evil.
I’m sure insinuating that nazi rhetoric must be the product of a “mental breakdown” won’t have any ill effects towards neurodivergent people, nope. “Mental illness caused nazism” is a classic genre of liberal historiography, so I can’t say I’m surprised by this.
So he knows it’s a genocide, but continues to provide material support for it and blames the victims. That’s not genocide-enabling or genocide-supporting, that’s just genocide-ing.
I’m fully expecting a stern clapback by an MFA spokesperson, and maybe even a strongly worded letter
