Prove that Amerika is a free country. Call the founding fathers slaveholders and r*pists on TV.
No no, that' different you see, you'll just be torn apart by an angry mob instead of being killed by the guvment. That's freedom baby!!!
Say anything mildly criticizing the military and people will start frothing at the mouth calling for your execution.
Being Asian and trying to incite racism against the Chinese to appease a bunch of anglos is...something? Definitely won't result in any blowback ever
Oh cool I can play this game too.
Oh the US has free speech? Say America deserved 9/11 and you wanna kill the president
CCP apologist?
, I make no apologiesOh look it's one of the good ones.
You claim to have free speech huh? The only way to prove that is to say exactly what I tell you!
Literal playground tactics
drink from the puddle or you're authoritarian
I mean, "I don't want to" is a valid response but it says something about the person and the culture they are raised in. Maybe they simply believe too strongly that it is unethical to say whatever they are asked to, or maybe... Either way, it's made clear that they can't or won't criticize the thing they are asked to. Some things are not worthy of criticism, but most things can be. Especially leaders.
Exactly; some people simply won't engage with juvenile behavior and their cultures stress respect of others; sadly this goes far beyond what the average journalist is capable of comprehending. You also have a country that's been harassed for decades by the other country, and are now being asked to degrade themselves just for the amusement of the subhuman audience of the show. The guy could've given the apropos response of just a middle finger and walking off, but his culture stresses the importance of respect not just to others but of one's self.
it's made clear that they can't or won't criticize the thing they are asked to
okay? But there's a big difference between being made clear either that they "can't" or "can't or won't". The latter is obviously the case, the 'journalist' is pretending it like the former is the truth. "They won't humour my stupid request" != "They can't say what they want".
Hang on they asked a person who supports China (or apologist in their garbage language) to say something against China and they didn't want to? Seems a pretty reasonable thing to refuse to do.
prob needs cw for racism
i recall reading that the winnie the pooh thing started off because a bunch of hong kong liberals were paying notions to racism by saying "xi must be winnie the pooh, because obama is a tigger!(which i can only imagine they want to replace T with N being their butt of the joke)" which goddamn i can only imagine how feverishly fox like these people are with their nodding gestures laced in race hate
e do not trust the liberals, they will betray you
I think in the beginning it was more innocuous than that. It was more like "haha look at this photo of these two walking next to each other it looks like this picture of Pooh and Tigger" (without any racist intent... I think) but the Pooh thing got picked up by Hong Kong liberals and sinophobes and they began running it into the ground.
Yeah this. It was originally innocent. But of course, libs ruin everything.
It absolutely was not, the comparison came from the anti-CPC crowd in Hong Kong, who are quite likely to have intended the implications of comparing a black man to Tigger.
This person works for Al Jazeera? This sucks dude
unless im missin something she is just

I wish I could say I am surprised at the irony of spouting 'free speech' propaganda while living in a state where it is literally illegal to be anti-Zoonist or express anti-Zionist sentiment (as that is broadly defined under 'anti-semitism'), but then I would be lying.
what kind of a name is glacier
is a political activist from Hong Kong.
Lower the curtains, cut, it's over...That's a god dang bobalib.
Our politicians wouldn't even criticize fucking Joe Biden lol
The question of “free press” and “free speech” is not separable from the question of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie versus the dictatorship of the proletariat. The idea of “political plurality” as such turns out to be the negation of the possibility of achieving any kind of truth in the realm of politics, it reduces all historical and value claims to the rank of mere opinion. And of course, so long as someone’s political convictions are mere opinion, they won’t rise to defend them. And so the liberal state remains the dictatorial organ of the bourgeoisie, with roads being built or legislation being passed only as commanded by the interests of capital, completely disregarding the interests of workers. Under regimes where political plurality is falsely upheld as a supreme virtue, the very notion of asserting oneself as possessing a truth appears aggressive and “authoritarian.”
Hey uh Josh Shapiro say something criticizing Joe Biden...
Wow I guess we live in 1984 animal farm
Freeze peach is when your can say racist things and the more racist it is the freezer it is
