Cursing the bully

jeudi 21 juin 2018 à 02:00

Is it a bad idea to use curse words when talking about the bully?

It is true that the bully is equally vulgar and has no basis to complain. It is surely true that his supporters don't care about our cursing at him except as an excuse.

Whether we curse at him or not, it won't influence them. Their reaction to cursing is beside the point. What matters is the possible reaction of those who we might be able to influence.

I'd rather call him a bully, a bullshitter, a cheater, a harasser, a war-lover. Those words make actual points, valid points.

When the media reprove progressives for cursing at the bully, it is clear that they are applying a double standard. That's what we should say to them: "Why criticize us while giving the bully a free pass?"

The US, UK and France are supporting the Salafi Arabian attack on Hodeida.

Espionage charge in Cambodia

An Australian journalist is charged with espionage in Cambodia. For doing journalism, I suppose.

Cambodia has abolished freedom of the press, along with all the opposition parties.

Disclosure laws

Even spy agencies must be subject to disclosure laws.

Refugees entering France

jeudi 21 juin 2018 à 02:00

French border thugs are supposed to let immigrant minors enter from Italy, but instead jail them without food or water, steal their phones, then send them walking back barefoot.

Those refugees are not getting proper care in Italy. Proper care includes contraception and instructions on how to use it.

More broadly, a large part of the persecution and violence that makes millions flee was caused by wealthy and powerful countries such as France and the US. The US is partially responsible for the coup in Honduras and the recent stolen election. If Americans don't want Hondurans to come fleeing, how about if we allow them to have a democratic government in their own country?
