“We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.

You can already do that today dickhead. And what's your answer?

Embarrassing from Amnesty. Were they holding back for over a year on this? Nayirah testimony pushing fuckwits.

I thought they'd go with the Chinese this time.

All Catholics (and many Protestant Rovalists) above the rank of tradesman or labourer were to remove themselves and their families into Connacht and Clare, where they were assigned small allotments. Any of those ordered away found east of the Shannon after May 1st, 1654, might be killed by whoever met them. The move had to be made mostly in winter. The season was very severe, and the roads almost impassable. Thousands perished on the way.

372 years ago, on this day in 1652, the Act for the Settlement of Ireland was passed by the English Parliament, preceding the greatest exercise in ethnic cleansing in early modern Europe.

They have the world's highest concentration of "NGO's". One for every 148 citizens. There's a lot of money floating around that's untraced. The likes of Frau Genocide, Von Der Leyen, are making all kinds of promises to them, same as they did to the Ukrainians.

"And even if they are more successful than us it's because of capitalism."

They photoshopped his eyes blue for this cover.

Good for you for getting out of that. Not a lot of people are capable.

This is just plain censorship.

The country with over 20% of the world's prison population and a highly militarised police force that routinely carries out extrajudicial killings of ethnic minorities is not ever described as "authoritarian". Somehow.

Also, the officialdom gives license to hate. It's a rubber stamp on bigotry, you can be a bigot all you like, but for Good™. Now you can dehumanise Russians, Chinese and any other targets of imperialism for free and remain a progressive liberal, shielded from any negative judgement.

And if on the rare occasion you are called out on it, you can just say that you hate the governments, not the people, ignoring all polling figures and support for these governments. After all, those support stats are fake anyway, you stupid tankie.

I love this line:

The bourgeois will become an anarchist again after the proletarian revolution: he will once again become aware of the existence of a State; of the existence of laws foreign to his will, hostile to his interests, to his habits, to his freedom. He will realize that “State” is synonymous with “compulsion” because the workers’ State will take away the bourgeoisie’s freedom to exploit the proletariat, because the workers’ State will be the bulwark of a new mode of production which, as it develops, will destroy every trace of capitalist ownership and any possibility of its revival.

This is exactly the crux of the failure of ideological "Freedom Now" maximalism. That maximalist freedom they want includes the freedom to exploit and take away the freedom of others. The paradox that needs to be accepted and synthesised is that Freedom necessarily must be imposed at this stage.
