I've been saying this for a while. I've been watching Calvinists and Lincolnites corkscrew themselves into the ground over Uyghurs, while ignoring our own ankle chains. Let the Muslims take care of their own. We have enough on our plate.
Damn’ right enough about them. If we don’t fight to keep our freedoms here and expose what’s happening, then we lose the shining city on the hill that President Reagan spoke so eloquently about.
Careful, the war mongers won’t like that.
——Enough About The Uyghurs!——
If you keep your eyes peeled for an old Subaru or even a prius, you will see frayed and dirty bumper sticker proclaiming “Free Tibet”
Uyghurs have no defense against the CCP. Worry about them is naive and just stupid
In medieval England, as society and the justice system were beginning to grapple with towns and cities there were a huge number of crimes that carried the death penalty. Overlooking what I take to be outliers where political leaders used the justice system to clear the playing field of opponents, there was an attempt at fairness. The problem was some people are too dangerous to let loose and there were no institutions to warehouse them. Thus, you get executions for what today would be a very long prison sentence. The long prison sentence is something only a rich and overbuilt society could afford. I’m wondering just how much money we should invest in warehousing and maintaining at a very high level, meaning kidney transplants and advanced cancer treatments, people who are too dangerous to let loose in civilized society. As a culture we obviously haven’t thought this through. Thus, in some states we spend each year on each prisoner the equivalent of sending a child to Yale for four years. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

Uyghurs ,it’s what’s for dinner at the Olympics
He does have a point, and one can do both things.
Why aren’t the Saudis, Turks, Iranians, etc. worried about their Muslim brethren?
