never previously in the friendly and orderly West.

Well, started reading the article, got to this line and cringed.

It is a vague reference that they are following the route of China and Russia by ignoring and abusing the laws of western states.

Oh no, its a clear reference to the blind eye the west & the world has turned to the ongoing genocide of Muslims & Christians in India by Modi govt & the Hindu supremacist thugs it supports.

A valid point but the emphasis in the statement is that it is an "explosive charge" this week. Those murders have been going on for decades. This is about the change in the audacity of these crimes.

It's very hard to care when religious people kill each other. They are clinically insane due to trauma from abuse in their childhood and are very unlikely to recover. The best we can do is to protect children from these evil cults.

The laws of Western states that the West only selectively follows? Gee...

[–] Syldon@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I go to another country I follow the laws of that state. It is called respect.

[–] zephyreks@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

What if the state itself doesn't follow those laws?

For a kinder and friendlier colonism.
