To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about ‘traditional families’

    I’m sorry, but that’s simply not true about repression being a prerequisite. It just isn’t.

    Ask Allende or Aristide or Zelaya or Moris, or countless other former leaders, what happens when you don’t arm the people with and lead with an iron fist. Fascists will just kill you and them.

    Stop blaming the victims.

      Oh, yeah, I see how you could read that differently from what I intended.

      I meant that neocolonialism requires oppressive regimes in the same way it requires oil and slave labor. It depends on them, it consumes them, and therefore it engages in proactive measures to acquire them.

      Your nation being an oppressive regime is not a prerequisite for your nation to become the victim of neocolonialism.
