Where did India get into the picture here ? The only protests going in India are those which are against government initiatives to help minorities. Interestingly, you didn't mention Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc. where minorities are actually being killed, raped or converted.

A.) Ozil hasn't left Arsenal, he's just not played. His contract runs till next year. B.) Ozil is just a shit team player. Never attends practice, instead vacationing on Arsenal's dime. Even Arsene Wenger, one of the greatest coaches, had issues with him. C.) Ozil is also a huge fan of Erdogan, somebody who's currently sending troops to massacre Armenia, while also genociding Turkish Kurds. There is a 5 year old conf…
D) The country you didn't mention is the one I was talking about. You know which one. Very well.
I've seen Iranian trolls, Russian trolls, Sino trolls and Indian trolls only. Of course there are American trolls, that's not worth mentioning since it's a given.
Why 39 minutes old submission with 148 up-votes is ranked 13th on the HN front page? The first entry at this moment is a 41 minutes old submission with 43 points, the 2nd entry is 59 minutes old with 35 points. Is this because this post is heavily flagged?
It’s social media. Nothing is on the up and up. Everyone has an angle, puts a thumb on the scale and talks their book. Just don’t take it too seriously.
We aren’t expecting anyone on HN to concretely do anything about it but feign morality.
Today me, tomorrow you.

Say what you want about Trump, who is a completely disgusting individual, but I have seen more progress this presidential term in this regard than ever before.
> President Donald Trump expressed approval of a concentration camp for Uighur Muslims in China during a private meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to former national security adviser John Bolton's upcoming memoir > Xi "explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang," Bolton wrote, citing the interpreter's account. The interpreter added that "Trump said that Xi shou…
"Twenty-four hours a day, prisoners are shackled. Iron chains are tied around their necks, fixed to loose iron blocks that Ӧmir says weigh around eight to ten kilograms, forcing prisoners to always be hunched down. He believes this is just one of the ways in which the camps are designed to instill a submissive posture in prisoners vis-a-vis their captors." I'm at a loss for words at the barbaric and utterly inhumane…
The Chinese & Vietnamese operate from the same torture book.

You're getting down-voted because trump derangement syndrome. But it's true. No President has taken a harder line on China and the CCP. If you're in the US and you want to do something about the CCP, probably the most effective thing you could do is vote Trump. And I'm saying this as liberal who can't stand Trump. If that's effective for the long-term future and prosperity of the US, which is also important to counte…

Any Amazon engineers want to comment on why a country of origin flag is not on every product? Has this been discussed internally at Amazon?
Probably because it only serves to hurt their sales. Amazon has also become almost as bad as Alibaba in allowing counterfeit and knockoff items to be sold openly.

You missed the parents points, where he argues that it took half of the world in a military alliance and years of wars to accomplish the goals. Doing that against a nuclear state is impossible, as such military action is out of the picture. That leaves only economic action.
But can that be effective, really? Many times economic sanctions are a joke (see the ones dished out by the UN). If they become too hard, a nuclear state can threaten nuclear action just the same. What then?
