#2I find it fascinating which instances of governments violently oppressing their own people get the press excited enough to report, and which the press just buries.

IMO you can't just hijack a thread like you're trying to do, if you want to talk about Uyghurs, there are threads about it already, or, just create your own.

I would assume that the downvotes are because you're asking for a thread on the atrocities happening in Chile be hijacked to talk about something else. It's extremely insensitive.
and now that we've had a few more hours, you can see for yourself.
downvoted until invisible and also flagged, because mentioning the stuff you're just supposed to forget about gets you banned from the internet.
There's nothing "insensitive" about pointing out the hypocrisy and fake sympathy offered up by the official narrative
(ooh, clever, this was also flagged within seconds. The efforts at censorship and narrative control are so transparent and boring)

#10Sadly eye injuries are very common during protests, Hong-Kong, Catalonia and even Paris are recent examples.
Society should learn to condemn the use of rubber bullets the same way it condemns real bullets.
One strategy by protesters that have worked well against government using force during the protests in armenia last year, was constant exaggerated attention to the peaceful nature of the protest. Constantly reminding that no aggression, not even rude words should be directed to the police, denouncing anyone who would attempt to use aggression or even litter, retreating when police was trying to use force, and assembling in another place, made it very difficult for government to find an opening to start using force. Of course this strategy can't be used everywhere, but starting with it can help even if government and police are entirely antagonistic.
