Seriously? You see reports of state-sponsored child abuse and your first instinct is, "well, who are we to judge?"

- stordoff 5y agoI'm not sure I understand your point. The RPC's sovereignty over the region is enabling them to take these actions, but that doesn't mean we must like, enable, or respect these actions, or let them pass without comment.
