    The above guy is an idiot obviously and reminds me of Chai Ling talking about why she won’t be going to the protests (Tiannenmen Protests) because there will be bloodshed and that’s what she wants for her political goals but doesnt want to lose her life

    Plus she had a bank account stuffed full of USD, an admission to Princeton and green card to the worldwide capital of reactionaries, USA
