Good writing in my view - while some commentary on here has framed Sheeran's justification as a demonstration of the hollowness of "neutrality", as a professional moral philosopher it is also what we in the business refer to as a "lie" and it may be helpful to refer to it as such

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

Something else that I thinks really needs emphasising: the police were the ones with the guns, who shot the (plastic and other) bullets, the tear gas. They were the ones with the water cannons, that shot the blue liquid that not only were meant to mark out protestors but also caused pain.

That 🧵 also mentions the police attacking people. And I really think this needs emphasizing: that so often, you see the 2019-20 Hong Kong protests described as "violent" -- sometimes with the classifying "sometimes", sometimes not, but almost never that much/the majority of it was by the police.

Seven years ago today, I got tear gassed while walking home after a protest march had ended. Of all the times I got tear gassed in 2019-20, this was actually the most direct hit I sustained and it was a pretty awful experience; one which caused me to be temporarily blinded, among other things.

This is what has happened with Labour in the UK. Most people don't believe that Labour could be transphobic - they aren't the Tories or Reform after all - and refuse to see it, and they are the most transphobic government of my life. So much harder to fight against, so much more damage done.
