This is a flase equivalence. The "terror" element is a distraction and a poor argument

It would be like Russia coming in and taking Donbas and saying "this is ours", and the world being outraged if Ukrainians fight back and if Ukrainians are still fighting back in 50 years people saying Ukrainians are terrible people look at the terror with zero context and worse still for people to be arguing for Russia, what a skap in the face that would be.

Would people still be outraged at the "terrorism" being wrought by Ukrainians because Russia says its terrorism ? Surely Israel's existence is a travesty, it does exist but obviously there is no dealing with this any other way until Israel stops. This never ends.

Israel just keeps taking more and more and being more and more provocative. What of Indonesia in West Papua? Or more recently Indonesia in Timor ?

This never ends, this is just another phase.

If the Government issues an order to remove a post that says "Don't Get vaccinated and pray instead" vs "you called our President/King/Autocrat a cnut, so your post should be removed and your ID passed on so you can be prosecuted" are both having the govenrmt intervene, most sane people in democracies would be ok with the former but not the latter.

As an Australian I was NOT ok with the Australian governments esafety commissioner trying their stunt with Twitter. I find it doubly amazing the continued use of the service by any of our politicians , fcuk them. Set up a Mastodon instance and use that ffs.

The Australian Government issued a bunch of take down notices to Twitter and Musk said no

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-23/what-can-the-government-do-about-x/103752600

Musk decided to block them in Australian only which didn't satisfy the Australian Government

He took them to court and the court sided with Twitter, (x)

The complexity and contradictions were illustrated by Tim Begbie, the lawyer representing the eSafety Commissioner in court. He said that in other cases X had chosen of its own accord to remove content, but that it resisted the order from the Australian government.

“X says [..] global removal is reasonable when X does it because X wants to do it, but it becomes unreasonable when it is told to do it by the laws of Australia,” Begbie told the court.

There is (or was) a North Korean Restaurant in Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. The staff were apparntly North Korean, so not sure how that worked and I was going to go but never go there back in the day.

The worst dishes (for me) I've had were in Malaysia , o coild nit find sonethbg Ibloeod, i started oit disliking the food in Myamar (before the recent civil war) not did start to find food I liked and the most suprisingly good food was Nepalese, at a little place owned by a Nepalese family. Not a fan of tomato based dishes so...
