前一秒：不要內訌，不要爭吵，不要互相指責，不要把海外反共搞得乌烟瘴气...
後一秒：海外反共圈里本来就没几个正常人，支持美國總統川普的人都是自私自利，什么民运川粉、法轮功，我真的正眼都懒得看一眼...
呵呵，反共圈又多了一個新加坡版王志安，自命不凡，虛偽至極。正是這種人層出不窮，才把海外反共搞得乌烟瘴气。看來我轉英文是對的。珍惜生命，遠離簡中。

最近看到方脸/李老师和二大爷的公开争吵，说真的，心里挺难过的。
海外反共圈里本来就没几个正常人了 —— 什么民运川粉、法轮功，我真的正眼都懒得看一眼。但这三位，虽然我们不是所有观点都一致，但他们一直是我觉得有清晰逻辑和三观比较正的大V。
OpenAI的报告里没有提到我，我也不是中国人，应该没有人觉得我有批评中共的义务，那么我想作为局外人说说我的想法。
首先，我认为我们没有理由去要求一个博主选择批评谁，不批评谁。
这件事的起因，应该是方脸指出二爷过去15篇推文都没有批评中共，作为一个以批评中共为主成名的博主，这不正常。后面再有OpenAI那篇报告，就前后呼应起来。
我的粉丝群大家也有在讨论这件事，当时我就说：“其实如果你们去看我的推，难道我不也这样吗？我现在批评中共比以前少得多。你们为啥不觉得有问题呢？”
我的粉丝们不觉得有什么问题，也是因为我早在去年中旬左右，就已经在我好几个群里都说过：川普现在的所作所为，很多时候甚至比中共还流氓，还不要脸。当那些我一直用来作为批评中共的价值体系，被川普彻底摧毁之后，我发现我已经逐渐失去了批评中共的底气和兴趣。
我不知道二大爷减少批评中共是什么原因，但这是我的原因。从二大爷对川普的很多评价来看，我相信应该也差不多。
我批评中共，并不是因为中共迫害了我或损害了我什么利益。 我批评中共，是因为我相信民主制度，我认为人民应该有言论自由、社会应该有新闻自由。我反对中共，是因为我反专制，因为我相信普世价值观。
那么，现在我批评川普，是同样的理由。我骂的是一个发币、老婆发币、公然挑战三权分立、威胁法官、公开骂记者是猪、赦免多名罪犯、操纵股市、满嘴谎言、不敢公开爱泼斯坦文件的川普。
一个博主当然可以说，他选择自己的赛道，不评论美国的事。但你不能说别人也应该跟你是同样的赛道。
其实我反而认为，如果你的反共不是立场，而是反对上面我说的这些中共所代表的价值观的话，那么反共的人必然也应该是反川的。
就像我过去一年来一直在骂反共华川粉和轮媒的：反共却挺川的人，其实你反共只不过是因为这是你的立场，或跟你的利益相关；你反共并不是基于普世价值。
以前我们说，小粉红天天批评美国，但从来不去批评中共的问题。
所以天天批评中共却从来不谴责川普那些跟中共同样流氓的行为的人，难道不是跟小粉红一样吗？你们只是站在不同的立场罢了。
批评川普对我而言是没有任何好处的，我因为批评川普掉了非常多粉。
但我做自媒体本来就不是为了谋生，而是为了表达我的价值观，传播我的认知。 如果我不说真话，那我干脆退网安心享受人生了。
最后我想说，我认为大家吵起来之后，确实语言就控制不住，有很多话真的没必要。
比如发李币这件事，我当时做节目的时候就说过，虽然李老师也许不应该选择这个方式来融资，但我一点都不怀疑李老师的动机。确实后来也证明了，李老师团队这两年来做了很多事（赛博信访局、611.ICU、996.ICU、海外黑手党、等等），如果靠单枪匹马和用爱发电，是不可能的。
这跟很多海外反共圈那帮靠耍嘴皮子、造谣和听床的人完全不同，李老师这些项目都是实打实帮助到人们的，我认为不应该大家某方面价值观不一样，就一直揪着这个不放。
各位，我好像极少看到粉红大V们公开吵架的，再加上民运川粉、法轮功媒体已经把海外反共搞得乌烟瘴气了，仅剩的几位正常人，就不要再内讧了吧。
其实，这样吵来吵去，中共已经赢了。

Chinese authorities have confirmed the detention of U.S. citizen U Min Zin, a prominent scholar of Myanmar politics, on allegations of endangering national security.
He was arrested on June 3 at Kunming Airport in Yunnan Province. U Min Zin is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the head of a Myanmar-focused think tank based in Thailand.
For years, he has written extensively about the Chinese government’s role and influence in Myanmar’s politics, as well as Beijing’s close relationship with Myanmar’s military regime.
Notably, his detention came shortly after the Trump–Xi meeting. It is a stark reminder that the CCP no longer hesitates to detain American citizens when it believes its interests are at stake. It means that concerns about diplomatic repercussions and bilateral relations no longer weigh heavily in Beijing’s decision-making when it comes to national security matters.

China put secret tracking device on the PM's car four years ago trib.al/uwlTB2o
Community note
This shows a photo of Keir Starmer, but the article explains that it was a previous PM that was targeted.
"It is not clear which of the three Tory prime ministers that year – Boris Johnson, Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak – was being targeted."

Chinese police are cracking down on protesters in Chongqing, where public anger has erupted over a man who allegedly posed as a dog lover while killing at least two dogs and abusing many others.
According to protesters, authorities initially refused to take action, prompting residents and animal welfare advocates to take their grievances to the streets. Videos circulating online show police beating and arresting demonstrators outside the residential community where the man lives.

This isn’t the Toronto we knew 20 years ago. My wife accidentally left her purse at a playground in Canoe Landing Park, downtown Toronto. Someone then used our credit cards at nearby Shoppers Drug Mart and Circle K. The purse also held car keys, door keys, debit cards, and various membership cards.
We reported the theft to the police, who promised a detective would investigate. A month later, we haven’t heard anything.
If action isn’t taken soon, the surveillance footage from those stores might be overwritten or deleted, and we could never identify the thief.

100% agree! My friend Stan wrote an excellent piece.
New piece in @WashTimesOpEd
Beijing just racked up a string of narrative wins on Taiwan. An opposition leader flew to Beijing and bent the knee right before the Trump-Xi summit. A weak defense budget. Stalled US arms sales. The message to Washington: Xi has leverage, and Taiwanese opinion is supposedly on his side.
But it isn’t. It’s manufactured. Washington needs to fight the narrative war back and prove Taiwan is worth defending.
