    I want to add (without prison sentences… for now) all the push of Europe to do the internet surveillance China style, after we have criticized it so much.

    Is so sad how “autocratic government surveillance” suddenly becomes “protecting the children”…

    Fuck politicians, hope they all die a terrible death. They deserve all the hate in the world and then a bit more.

      The saddest part about it is how well it works. People are still falling for this shit. We never learn anything.

    In the defense of the North Korea outrage, they lobotomised the kid and sent the dying body back to US.

      Pretty sure there were missing teeth.

      Edit: not Otto. Might have been another prisoner. Or I’m confusing it with World War Z and how North Korea solved the zombie crisis by pulling everyone’s teeth.

      Edit edit: ok, he’s the one I read about but these details aren’t in wikipedia and may be suspect.

      They said Otto was deaf, blind, jerking uncontrollably and making “inhuman” sounds when they met him on a plane.

      His teeth also looked like they had been rearranged with pliers, his father said.

      What are the chances that these people will get pardoned, etc, when(if) normality returns?

      Also what’s the chances that the judge who handed down these long and unfair sentences will get any repercussions for being so obviously corrupt?

        Honestly 50/50

        You can’t really bounce back from the bullshit that has just ensued immediately, it’s also kinda apparent to your average leftist that the democratic party is kind spineless as fuck when it comes to the right, so to have judges IN TEXAS MIND YOU bounce back from their previous decisions? Not gonna be too easy
