Yes. It’s an incredibly easy way to filter out people who are saying what pays to be said, and people who are genuine. One cannot claim to care about human rights while ignoring the Apolocyple in Gaza livestreamed in 4k and perpetrated by the West.
A prime example is famous China critic Ai Weiwei who I can take seriously because he actually walked the walk and got cancelled in the West as well.
Ai, speaking to Reuters in London, said he has previously argued that Western leaders visiting China should openly denounce the country’s human rights abuses before striking business deals with the world’s second-largest economy.
“But today I changed my mind, completely,” Ai said. “The West (is) not even (in a) position to accuse China. (They must) just check on their record (of) what they did on international human rights, (their) freedom of speech record.”
Ai’s remarks come as Keir Starmer makes a four-day visit to China, the first by a UK leader in eight years, aimed at improving relations despite concerns over espionage and human rights.
Ai, in London hosting events for his new book “On Censorship”, said Western leaders raising issues such as human rights, free speech and censorship would be seen as deeply hypocritical and would “make people laugh”.
Ai said he has also faced censorship in the West, including a London gallery’s decision to postpone one of his exhibitions in 2023 over a social media post about the war in Gaza.
And while Ai does still criticize China for many things, some which are very valid because China isn’t some perfect utopia either, even he has recognized that a lot of stuff is simply pushed by Western think tanks to amplify anti-China sentiment while the West is actually much worse in many aspects.
As for Frontline defenders, they pay “family support” and other stuff.
providing family assistance for imprisoned HRDs or family members who are at risk because of a HRD’s activities.
You bet that’s going to be instantly cut off whenever someone criticizes Israel. Meaning the critic in this article falls in line with Western think tanks and knows what he should and shouldn’t say to receive his paycheck.



















Did you forget about the previous time the Houthi’s blockaded the Red Sea in support of Palestine?
