- rqs 7y agoKind reminds me how un-Interneted Chinese people categorize things: - Say China did something bad: "That's political and with intention to 'slander' China, so we shouldn't talk about that" - Supreme leader changed the national constitution so he can basically be a emperor: "Oh that's an internal adjustment of power, and btw we shouldn't talk about that"
- traderjane 7y agoPolitics is the negotiation of power. Aren’t human rights abuses inherently related to matters of power?
