My too often nonsensical and forever unenlightened reflections on people and life and everything else I understand as well as I understand everything else. Not well at all, in other words. Love thy neighbor, is my motto. Unless something better comes along. Make sure to say so when you find it.
For all of those romanticizing the Chinese government and repression, generally, a reminder of what it looks like. And what it looks like when people have the courage to challenge it.
Repression is not progress. No matter the propaganda. Progress is reducing and ending repression as the means of democratic engagement, not its increase and impunity.
Courage is our capacity to honestly account for this mistaken direction for humanity.
