    Being inflammatory is not the same as someone complaining about an unjust government nor is it the same as feeling bad about something. It is a rhetorical strategy that is not suited for bridging misunderstandings and that is why such content gets removed from their platforms.

      Saying the CCP violates human rights, is unequivocally true and factual. It’s also inflammatory. There’s nothing wrong with inflammatory speech. And biased policing of it destroys bridges and builds rightful resentment.

      My government is also currently involved with similar violations. And I’m not going to let them police my language either. Forcing us to use language that favors them or makes light of their atrocities. Good governments don’t do that. Inflammatory actions justify inflammatory language. Fuck what trump or the CCP thinks.

        Again, you are allowed to say the CCP does not respect human rights as defined by the west, they will openly agree with that statement and repeat it back to you. But to say the people don’t have rights to even say that is inflammatory because it is false.
