That is the same experience that I have as a child in the family of victims of Communism who embrace the very toxic brutal authoritarian practices that supposedly victimize them. The teaching of my extended family of victim of communism in the Hong Kong Canadian community is that repression is self-inflicted, that the repressor only repress bad people, and that repression is always avoidable. This principles should be a red flag that the victims of Communism were never victims of human rights violations. In fact, my father, who is a pastor of a curropted Protestant Christian church, boost that armed gangster boogymen rule Canada and that everyone should obey thugs and delinquents to gain favor from armed gangsters. He preached that even the police will not arrest armed gangsters and that the police will knowingly arrest innocent people under the commands of armed gangsters. The local Canadian community all side with the ableist people because of the political privilege of victim of Communism.
