  • Yet we won't hear about people like Ousmane Sonko and so many more, including in Ukraine, just today Saïd Boukioud was condemned to 5 years of jail in Morocco, and Julian Assange has been persecuted for more than a decade for wanting to keep us accountable/transparent(, as well as at least dozens of whistleblowers). Piotr Pavlenski was celebrated by french medias when he denounced the russian "regime", but condemned by the same medias when he did the same things in France. We simply wouldn't hear&support A.Navalny if Russia was our ally, thats all.
    Just in(, an hour ago) : Imran Khan has been condemned to three years of jail ! Will you complain ?
    And Juan Branco.

    A country authorizing opponents/diversity outside&inside its borders is undoubtedly better than a country forbidding them inside&outside. It's harder to compare between a country forbidding diversity outside its borders and another forbidding it only on its territory.
    A real union in diversity would cancel any possible international insecurity of a given country, but not directly its potential royalist/authoritarian tendencies since it'd allow their difference(, however, their inhabitants don't need to be saved by (c)overt operations, because the proximity of free people will elicit a desire of change in their own country, as long as this country doesn't protect itself from our proximity like we protected ourselves from socialist examples ; being united means being informed of the other ways of living, and desiring what we lack, it also means 'working for our species instead of our nations'/'loving/helping other countries as much as we love/help our own inhabitants').
