Since you liberals love trotting out juvenile analogies while clearly being the ones most in need of them:
Cracking down on a money laundering religious extremist violent and abusive cult used as an example of authoritarianism instantly renders your entire argument moot.
Nobody’s arguing that these “crackdowns”, if they even are happening outside the US State Dept., are bad. You’re literally throwing a fit about something that didn’t happen.
In fact, you are the ones arguing that the folks pointing out how evil Falun Gong is, something heavily documented even by Western press, are the ones that don’t know what they’re talking about.
You are the ones dismissing truth because of… reasons???
Isn’t it strange how everything out of liberals mouths is a projection?
Perfect little Americans, brainwashed to the core and you think you’re an independent thinker…
I'm American, very much not a liberal, and I agree that Falun Gong has as much rightful place in a civilized society as cholera does.
So don't patronize me with your lectures about what Americans are like. You have no idea what we think.
You opening your mouth instantly renders your argument invalid.
