Vivemos num tempo de líderes estúpidos, broncos

 

Já houve alturas em que o mundo tinha uma dinâmica de responsabilidade nos líderes, agora é só bestas e quanto mais bestas mais poder têm. Quem é que manda uma pessoa 50 anos para a cadeia que é igual a roubar-lhe a vida inteira por ter sido criticado? É preciso pensar um sistema que vá mais longe que a ONU e que responsabilize estas pessoas que subjugam povos inteiros com a sua broncalidade. Suínos, no sentido em que Mill falava. Dá ideia que é necessário haver guerras devastadoras para as pessoas terem consciência e comportarem-se como seres humanos decentes. Isto é revoltante. A quantidade de ditadores, de broncos, de negacionistas, de burros, irresponsáveis, ignorantes, que mandam nos países e decidem das nossas vidas. É revoltante!

Thailand: Woman handed record 43-year sentence for defaming monarchy

A former civil servant has been convicted of 29 counts of violating Thailand's strict lese majeste law. She pleaded guilty to posting audio clips of a podcast produced by a prominent critic of the monarchy.

Anchan — whose last name was withheld by lawyers in order to protect her relatives — was first arrested in 2015 after being linked to a podcast host who was a vocal critic of the monarchy. She was then held in pre-trial detention for three years before being released on bail.

When her case was transferred to criminal court, she pleaded guilty with the hope that the court would have sympathy for her actions, because she had only shared the podcaster's audio clips, and had not posted or commented on it, she told local media on Tuesday.

"I thought it was nothing. There were so many people who shared this content and listened to it. The guy [who made the content] had done it for so many years," Anchan said. "So I didn't really think this through and was too confident and not being careful enough to realize at the time that it wasn't appropriate.''
