Actually, I don't accuse you of anything. You are on record as defending
both the Green Party, which is to the right of Lula's PT faction, and of
attacking the raising of the Palestinian's "Right of Return" demand in the
anti-war movement.

That is the record. I only point it out. That you defend the Green Party but
attack the PT I find incredibly contradictory, and can only explain in terms
of white privilege.

I have never understood why people who possess white skin privilege always
get so insulted when this is pointed out to them!

I mean, you are critical of the Chinese authorities for censoring internet
access, and "free" discussion, yet, are all too keen on using exactlly the
same tools to evade having meaningful debates on things we disagree.

If I am wrong in my understanding of your views, I am all too happy to be
disabused of such notions.

As a matter of fact, in spite of many attempts at debating with you, all I
get in response are tangents or ad hominems or bureaucratic warnings. Get
real!

Anti-dogmatism of the deed, not of the word...
