“Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.”

Among the people who lost eyes and eyesight due to being shot in the eye by Hong Kong police in 2019 were a pro-democracy protestor-teacher, a first aider and an Indonesian journalist.

The people who lost eyes and eyesight due to popo violence get nothing, right?

A HK court has ordered a former protester to pay a police officer more than HK$150,000 in damages for breaking the officer’s finger during a demonstration in 2019. In full: buff.ly/HXrGhFp

Rather amazing when you see this photo below that To Kai-wa didn't lose an eye.

Any article about To Kai-wa (the Hong Kong protestor who bit off part of a police officer's finger in 2019) should include this photo taken shortly before he bit said police officer's finger.

Photo of To Kai-wa (in the white shirt) on the floor mid struggle while one police officer holds on to him and another sticks his fingers onto his face (including near his mouth and eyes), and yet another looks on.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Is Singapore still being used as THE example of a “benevolent dictatorship”, because I have an old friend who keeps using that phrase with 21st century China?

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.
