A tense situation unfolded at the United Nations Conference on Human Rights in February 2023.

    If it means less fascist violence spread in the interests of US hegemony, then who am I to complain.

    It doesn’t. It just means that the US turning into a more openly fascist empire who will sponsor other fascist governments around the world, more openly.

      So is funding anti China propaganda more fascist or less fascist in your mind?

        Interesting that you call the article propaganda. Which bit specifically do you object to? Is it all exaggerated in your opinion?

          Being an explicitly US funded org with a clearly pro-NATO bias is plenty for me. The contents of the article are mostly in the realm of ‘shadowy connections’ with paraphrased testimony of one clearly pro-US Chinese person. No evidence provided beside “take our word for it” alongside hearsay and ancedotes. This is not what I consider ‘investigative reporting’ by a long shot. If you look through the headlines on the site, it is very clear they have an agenda to push.
