- fermienrico 9y agoPlease explain how Chelsea Manning is a more appropriate example. GP is literally comparing EXACT same thing. Protest against the president at a popular location in each country. I fail to see how this is an unfair comparison.
- rorykoehler 9y agoI think you misread it. >Go to Tiananmen Square and hold up a poster-sized picture from the 1989 massacre.

- coupdejarnac 9y agoFine, make the poster say Deng Xiao Ping ordered the army to shoot the protestors at Tiananmen Square.
- rorykoehler 9y agoMy point was when it comes to topics that matter there is little difference in the 2 powers.
- coupdejarnac 9y agoDrawing this kind of lazy equivalence does not produce insight. The two powers have substantial differences that influence how you would deal with either.

- nieksand 9y agoI'm unclear what you're saying regarding Ms. Manning. Though if you want to update my two examples to use a protest poster for/against her, I don't think the point changes. Unless you mean that she faced legal consequences for her actions?
