I was just thinking about how more than few people who've been brought to the west under guise of "Oh no, muh poor freedom fighter is being tyrannized by ze evil third world government" actually deserved to get treated far worse, and those simping for them should have been held accountable for the consequences of their actions, and then I see this:

“Singapore’s Shanmugam on deported blogger Amos Yee: ‘I wish the Americans had kept him’”

This is the person who got arrested in Singapore for celebrating the death of Lee Kuan Yew and posting photos of him "buttfucking" Margaret Thatcher on his blog - even his mother filed a police report - and despite violating bail conditions repeatedly, he ended up getting probation; he refused to meet w/ his probation officer; claimed his bailor "molested" him (he had to write an apology), and after all this, the brave and wonderful Melissa Chen, who has since became an editor at Spectator USA, along with co-founding "Ideas Beyond Borders" which mostly serves to push propaganda in the middle east, fought to bring him to America and for him to be given an asylum.

This was in December 2016. Less than a year later, he was making videos on Youtube defending pedophilia; several years later he got arrested for child pornography (he was grooming a kid). He got 6 years in jail, but was released early in 2023, moved into a house with other sex offenders, and defended pedophilia again. Then he violated parole, and got re-arrested; he was deported back to Singapore in March 2026, where he got arrested for violating the Enlistment Act. 10 years, how much money, and how much harm, all because Melissa Chen, an immigrant, managed to get America embroiled in her own dumb fight. Although it’s worth noting she wasn’t the only one - Amnesty International, UN, Human Rights Watch, and other shitty orgs were supporting him too. None of them, of course, are concerned with people being arrested across Europe for criticizing immigration or trans stuff.

Anyway, the article:

Singapore’s Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam has said he wished the United States had kept controversial blogger and child sex convict Amos Yee, warning that foreign media and rights advocates have mistaken a repeat offender, who was deported back to the city state, for a free-speech icon.

Yee, who is listed on a US Department of Homeland Security website as among the “worst of the worst criminal aliens” the Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested, was deported from the US on March 19 and arrested upon arrival at Changi Airport the next day.

The 27-year-old is charged with violating Singapore’s compulsory military service rules. “I wish the Americans had kept him,” Shanmugam said when shown Yee’s image during an interview on The Rishi Report podcast on Friday. Yee was granted asylum in the US in 2017 on the basis that he had been persecuted for his political views, but was later imprisoned for sex offences and removed after his release.

Shanmugam said the episode exposed “a tremendous hypocrisy” among “some media in the West” and others who had, in his view, reflexively cast Yee as a victim of political repression because he appeared anti-government.
