From ESWN: Quick hit on a new book by Liu Xiaobo: The Poisonous Sword with a Single Blade
"Except during a crisis caused the invasion of the motherland by outside forces, I do not regard 'nationalism' as an esteemed term. On the contrary, during peacetime, only disgusting politicians and misguided idiots are gathered under the banner of patriotism."

All right, who is this Liu Xiaobo guy, and how do I subscribe to his newsletter?

You can reach him by snail mail at:

Mao Ze Dong Re-Educational Work Camp
No. 346 Zhong Shan Rd.
Inner Mongolia

By the way, if dissent is the greatest form of patriotism, then isn't it sort of a paradox that the more you criticize patriotism, the more patriotic you are?
