Fat people can be beautiful, sure, but fat itself doesn’t make them beautiful. In any case, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we’d do better not to police a subjective idea.

Fat people shouldn’t get shit on for their weight, shit’s exhausting. But at the same time, I don’t think we should necessarily promote obesity with things like “fat is beautiful” because I’m in the boat of people who’d rather promote the idea that you don’t need to be beautiful to be a good person, instead of trying to spin everything as beauty. My line is that we shouldn’t encourage and look favorably at being fat, and we should try to lower the average weight and augment the overall health of society. However, this doesn’t mean that we should shit on fat people, if they’re comfortable with their own weight and aren’t dying to it, then live and let live.

ur country” is why I have an issue here. The CPC doesn’t own China. The people of China own China and if they have issues with the government their needs should be me

There is a difference between giving the Palestinians their country back vs making a new country to placate religious extremists

Yes

The CPC could give up and surrender Xinjiang to ISIS. This option condemns millions of people to living under a fundamentalist Islamic State, including many non-Muslims and non-extreme Muslims. This option creates a CIA-aligned state on the border, and jeopardises a key part of the Belt and Road initiative, which is designed to connect landlocked countries for development and geopolitical positioning. This option also threatens the CPC’s legitimacy, as keeping China together is a historical signifier of the Mandate of Heaven.

there’s a very big difference between “imprisoning muslims because they might be terrorists” and “imprisoning muslims because they follow islam”
