Meanwhile, westerners who hate their government would never be brought up on charges for the crime of “posessing books, black clothes, fabric, and paint” and then get disappeared into solitary confinement for exercising their constitutional rights.

That’s a very valid contribution that you made to the discussion. Nice work.

Westerners hate their government so much that they cannot see beyond their own parochial worldview to even entertain the idea that some people would feel generally supportive of their government.

Those sneaky Orientals must be lying in order to trick is good, honest, non-perfidious enlightened westerners again.
