People do care about the Tibetians. But they aren't getting as much attention at the moment because they're not fighting as hard. Remember all the fights during the Beijing Olympics?

2018-08-31 22:14:55 UTC  

its only true when the damage is less then free speech is worth

2018-08-31 22:15:10 UTC  

Engineer, do we have any goddamned twitter shout-outs to give out?

2018-08-31 22:15:13 UTC  

I don't think China needs western progs either, tbh

2018-08-31 22:15:16 UTC  

@Ace K i think you are looking for better human rights, not SJWs

2018-08-31 22:15:32 UTC  

I would say the net result is positive either way, Cytos

2018-08-31 22:15:37 UTC  

no one needs these SJW types, which is why they gotta create their own demand

2018-08-31 22:15:42 UTC  

Indeed, Ottobon, I mispoke so I apologize.

2018-08-31 22:15:45 UTC  

i think most would argue SJW and actual Social Justice has parted ways decades ago

2018-08-31 22:15:52 UTC  

you can claim the result trends to a positive result sure

2018-08-31 22:15:55 UTC  

i agree with that

2018-08-31 22:15:57 UTC  

but its not always true

2018-08-31 22:16:00 UTC  

Social Justis is not possible!

2018-08-31 22:16:01 UTC  

not absolutely

2018-08-31 22:16:08 UTC  

I would disagree

2018-08-31 22:16:12 UTC  

Because people are different.

2018-08-31 22:16:20 UTC  

Re: cytos, not re SJ

2018-08-31 22:16:40 UTC  

Really, the issue is far larger. No amount of "human rights" is really going to resolve the core issue in China.

2018-08-31 22:16:53 UTC  

The two groups are *really* distinct.

2018-08-31 22:17:01 UTC  

Remember the 80's, when so many conservatives and neoliberals claim that implementing capitalism will allow people to transition to democracy and human rights? Boy were they wrong.

2018-08-31 22:17:04 UTC  

and yeah pratel

2018-08-31 22:17:14 UTC  

you cant imagine a situation where someones free speech causes an injustice?

2018-08-31 22:17:30 UTC  

That's why I am supportive of the two groups having their own nations

2018-08-31 22:17:31 UTC  

which would make it non absolute

2018-08-31 22:17:36 UTC  

nO

2018-08-31 22:17:37 UTC  

I can't imagine free speech producing a worse society

2018-08-31 22:17:46 UTC  

ye but you talking averages again

2018-08-31 22:17:52 UTC  

@Ace K OK, but that's really distinct from needing Social Justice running around.

2018-08-31 22:17:53 UTC  

absolute means something else i think

2018-08-31 22:17:56 UTC  

I can imagine someone using their speech to cause injustice, but that's not the free speech itself causing it

2018-08-31 22:18:03 UTC  

@>Cytos, de lieve goede synth LOok at the Media how they portrayed the Chemnits Demonstrations.

"The democrats have gone nuts"
"Donald Trump was an improvement"
"...they're socialists, they're communists, they really do hate America" - Tim Pool, far right commentator

2018-08-31 22:18:48 UTC  

True Pratel, like I said earlier, I mispoke and messed up on what I was saying, so I apologize.

2018-08-31 22:18:53 UTC  
2018-08-31 22:19:32 UTC  

so i still stand by my possition, there is no moral code that is absolutely true

2018-08-31 22:19:37 UTC  

@Ace K how were they wrong? capitalism helped the average quality of life and although there are still tyrannical institutions generally this increase the outlook towards liberty/democracy people eventually look towards even if they live in a tyrannical society

2018-08-31 22:19:38 UTC  

in every situation, at all times

2018-08-31 22:19:54 UTC  

just codes that are on avergage more true then others

2018-08-31 22:20:01 UTC  

How very nihilistic of you

2018-08-31 22:20:08 UTC  

@Ace K Adding to what Ottobon is saying, there's a distinct subculture in China right now among the young that's very different.

2018-08-31 22:20:10 UTC  

It should be allowed to criticize the State and Religions but at the same time it should not be allowed to outright lie about a person.
