wow! somehow you came to the conclusion that I am victim-blaming ? :-/

the perpetrators are the ones who are going to victimize the groups who cant defend themselves.

Be prepared for all sorts of predators, pedo-philes, serial killers to start their closet journey and they will claim victimhood better than most normal people.

Police will defend their own people even if police commit the crime.

Right-wingers will claim special providence when their people commit the crime.

Criminals will claim to be part of a vulnerable group just so they can commit the crime.

Make up your own mind and judgement what is the safest choices.

Do not become victims of criminals.

Be Safe and Carry on living peacefully.

no i never said that justifies it. Chinese people go to jail if they are found browsing outside the Great Firewall.Google and other social media censorship can, just as quickly, lead to social credit scores ( well credit scores are gatekeeping poor people already ) and inevitable erosion of free speech and chill fair-use copyright exercising.

Censorship might have edge cases ( terror attack suspect details, privacy from surveillance, etc) but it should never be the norm and it should be directly dealt with jury-trial court-cases with Billion-dollar penalties to ensure it will never happen again without stringent checks-and-balances.

Its very prevalent in Commie-China-Places. Pooh-Bear to mean XiPIGpIng. 8964 for TiannamenSquare Massacre. Taiwan #1 Country. All those are censored behind the Great Firewall of China.

Problem is that trans people have been around non-western cultures for several millenia and are either tolerated or abused. But it has always been that trans was not treated as a problem in most of those societies that had them.

If PDF files / pedo-philes are using the trans “identity” as a sword and shield, it is ABSOLUTELY a BIG PROBLEM. Trans people should vehemently ban and completely villify these abhorrent criminal kiddie-diddlers for what they are.

Right-wing Nazis will use these and anything else as an excuse to go after the community supporting or hiding criminals. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

If you wish for a latest and greatest example of people abusing “identities” … #MeToo failed due to excessive AmberTurd, AnitaSNarkeesian, ZoeDQuinn publicity while mainstream media failed spectacularly. Most recently, DEIDIEESG and BRIDGE are also going to become like this and are well on their way to getting buried. DO NOT BECOME THESE KIND OF EXAMPLES. Elevate yourselves and keep the Criminals OUT.

Do you understand how corruption works in SouthEast Asia? Do you understand the threat of China simply “stealing” / “destroying” other countries infrastructure? Imagine if China could cripple Singapore by cutting undersea cables etc, what would happen to WindFarms that are on the ocean surface.

Singapore PHYSICALLY CANNOT run WindFarms of the size and scale you are talking about. Not on their own territories and definitively not in other surrounding countries territories. Singapore depends on Water from Malaysia already( even then Singapore is installing Desalination plants in attempts to reduce the dependencies as we speak ) And If Singapore decides to depend so much on their neighbours, there is a real and imminent threat of corruption/sabotage/malfeasance/crimes that can seriously affect Singapore.

And what fill up important shipping and harbours with WindFarms ? They have almost no land and actively are dredging and building up out on the sea as it is.

If they expand too much they will either lose shipping lanes or docking locations for container ships.

You can’t mess with the local wildlife and ecology. There is a limit to anything and everything that Singapore can do on their already over-built tiny island.

Europe had once planned to create Solar Plants all over North Africa. Manned by African immigrants that might end up in Europe. But then European corruption and rampant African corruption happened. So all those plans and attempts fell through without even getting off the ground-level.

Singapore and Australia are the pinnacle of economic and political systems in the Oceania region. China does not even matter beyond the stick-waving and other propaganda stupidity.

Singapore has ties globally and sits at the strategic Singapore Straits.

Australia is one of the strongest “Western” markets with close ties to the UK and US. New Zealand are very much dependent and isolated from the rest of the world and hence have almost negligible influence politically or economically.

Malaysia , Indonesia and the Philippines are very corrupt and similar in their status quo of most countries surrounding the South China Sea. They are all dependent on foreign trade, foreign customers and have very little in terms of large industrial/dense-commercial domestic markets.

Setting up the stage, Australia while does have good industrial,dense-commercial, educational/research, and other leading advanced technologies , there is still that “lobbying” and other western/capitalist/modern corruption driving political decisions.

Coal/Oil/Gas Corpos, Gambling Corpos, CIA-controlled, Organized-Criminals running things in-front and behind the scenes.

You will not get very far with renewables in Aussie Land. Just watch FriendlyJordies and AustralienGov youtube videos if you want to go-down-under the rabbithole.

Arm them with some special training and survival skills and send them back. Don’t just skip on the opportunity to disrupt Putin’s idiocy.

Also offer full benefits for every high-level Putin govt official and Putin-enabler that they “bring back” with them with lots of “proof”.
