Words like "evil" are subjective. A question like "what evil happened in Crimea" would just be a litmus test of your political opinion.

Seriously? What are you, a CCP spokesperson? Murder, torture, destruction of temples and trying to abolish their religion and identity? Get out.

I'm just calling it like it is. When you define "evil" to mean "political things I disagree with" then you can arbitrarily label anything as evil.

No, you're defending an illegal invasion of a once-peaceful country, murder, torture, illegal jailings without fair trial, destruction of temples and landmarks, destruction of a country's identity and relgion, etc. There's nothing else to discuss.

Again, in the Crimea example, both sides would accuse the other of being "evil" for all of those reasons.

In the majority of conflicts, "evil" is an entirely meaningless political dogwhistle.

My statements are exclusive to Tibet. I don't even know where you pulled Crimea from.

While we're discussing GLM, it's attempt to "intimidate" people by accusing them of insulting the CCP if you think otherwise... let's just say that doesn't fly with the free world, at all.

Your statements are about "evil" which has no objective measure. Ethics isn't on any benchmarks, because you cannot objectively measure it.

> let's just say that doesn't fly with the free world, at all.

How come? I'm an American and I pay for GLM-5 without trouble. Which part doesn't fly?
