Sometimes I think what would happen if China invades Taiwan? Would FB and IG still allow calls for violence against Chinese? I am pretty sure many people will change their tunes when it comes to China, similar to what happened regarding COVID.
Not necessarily saying they would. I don't know enough. But they certainly have a lot less conflict of interest.
None of these things — least of all sanctions — would be allowed against their citizens.
Let’s not forget that the country one lives in is the least likely to show its atrocities. So let’s just accept it — geopolitics ain’t fair.
Therefore I have always been bothered by appeals to some sort of sense of decency in people by various groups being attacked, that are themselves at the same time unapologetically biased and unmoved by the same appeals by other weaker groups. (And yes this most definitely includes Russians.)
Not all Russians. Many are pretty much moved to the point of going out and protesting knowing that they would be arrested.
