The worst thing about prejudices is that they are true...
You realise that in the US for example, it's 150% legal to say anything discriminatory to anyone you want don't you? It's called the freedom of expression, and it's better to have it and have to deal with some mean people sometimes, than have it taken away from you so you don't have to deal with them, but also lose your freedoms.
Then again, not sure if personal freedoms are as important in China as they are in other places?
This is a strawman, no one said this, you're being melodramatic. It's a very weak way of forming arguments.
Aka "anyone that disagrees with me must be bad people".@jujuza bad people are abound everywhere. All you need do is to keep being good to others and assume there are others like minded who toe same line as you.
Envisioned positive change we desire for the society won't become visible in a instant.. But with more efforts from persons like you, the oppressors shall be subdued.
Don't listen to anyone telling you that disagreeing with bad principles or laws are irrelevant. When you hear anyone tell you that, note that such a person belongs to the corrupt system and it's most likely it''s their last gasp for breath as they realize their dominance and power is fast waning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_StatesI dont think the racist comments are legal even in US and maybe you dont make distinction between freedom of speech and speech of hates based upon an opinion about the religions/races/sexualities. But you clearly have better arguments to justify and defend those kind of hate dont' you.
If you had the ability to use logic then this wouldn't be so hard to wrap your head around.did you count them, all of these millions of millions of people, where are your proofs ?
No, that's exactly the point. Free speech is about protecting people that you completely disagree with and who say terrible things. I don't blame you for not being able to process this idea considering that you've spent your entire life in one of the most repressive countries in modern history.once again there is a difference between free speech and speech of hate based upon the ethnicity/religions/sexualities
I've had conversations where I felt that my intelligence was challenged.. this is not one of them.but i understand you don't get it, you are not smart enough to make the distinction.
You're not a victim of anything though. Even though you so desperately want to be.ps : please don't reverse the roles : the victims are not the hate speakers.
Aka "anyone that disagrees with me must be bad people".
Have you thought that maybe other people just see things differently to you, and by opening your mind to that idea you might learn to think more objectively?
By the way, unless you live under the Taliban, nobody is oppressing you.. and certainly not someone sat on the other side of the world behind a computer that says something you don't like.
