If this thread is Mahathir repackaging his Asian values argument for the year 2020, I am not buying it, even if it were on sale with a free gift (not even a mug) https://twitter.com/chedetofficial/status/1321765560233811970

He mentions bikinis, or g strings in his defence of Asian values while condoning violence, his racist views come through so clearly.

This thread to me is a quiet funeral for the Asian values vs human rights debate.

RIP, it sounded good last century to some, but no.

People on Mahathir's thread asking about when he's gonna tweet about Uyghurs Muslims are asking the right questions do they dare to butt heads with Asian governments that are visibly destroying Muslim minorities, homes & communities through state and military operations

I get it now why @kuasasiswa refers to Mahathir as Coke Zero tho

As someone who was forced to weigh out the Asian Values vs Human Rights argument throughout law school and their career, this thread is just extremely disappointing and I hope everyone can see now why that was a complete waste of our time and move on to other big ideas, please
