America 1982-Chapter 585 - 126: Please Donate Your Own Money_3
"You’d better turn on the tape recorder and take note of how to eloquently attack the mayor of New York."
"Mayor Ed Koch has spoken about the great significance of Murdoch’s giving American movies for free to China, with the reason being to let the world feel the power of American culture, to experience all that is wonderful about America, but I don’t know if it’s out of neglect or intention, but Mayor Koch has forgotten to mention the very foundation upon which our great America was built, freedom and equality."
"He mentioned morality, the rule of law, culture, and the American dream, but what about freedom? Everything he talked about was based on freedom, yet this vital virtue so key to America was forgotten, which astonishes me. Hence, I did some research, and I discovered that Mayor Ed Koch’s forgetfulness was not intentional, it’s just that he never cared about freedom—as at least for the ten years he has been mayor of New York, he never cared."
"He’s always emphasizing that the minority must submit to the majority, which seems unproblematic on the surface, so he can close down many entertainment venues under the banner of HIV because the majority supports it, he can forcibly send HIV carriers to medical centers because the majority supports it, he can drive out the homeless of New York because the majority supports it, but is this really freedom? No! This is a false, institutionalized freedom, with the most critical manifestation being that it allows the strong to strip the weak of their rights! All under the guise of freedom and equality!"
"He constantly creates opposition between the powerful and the weak, always standing with the powerful group, that is, the majority, in the name of democracy to garner acclaim and personal gain. The people of New York think their dear mayor is closing these places for their safety, please, why don’t you look at who eventually buys those properties that were forcibly closed? I’ve heard that several bars in the Black community of Brooklyn haven’t been forcibly shut down, why? Because no real estate developer is interested in that area."
"The people of America are not lacking in openness and inclusiveness, but this must be based on equality and freedom. No one is against Murdoch spreading American culture for free; we just question the inequality in the dissemination, which harms the interests of America’s vulnerable groups. What is equality? Equality means that if he wants to give away a bunch of Fox movies to China for free, then Fox’s American movies should also be permanently free to show in American movie theaters and on television stations, otherwise, don’t defile the word ’equality’."
"If he could do that, I believe there would still be people who come out to criticize Murdoch, and they would definitely be the common enemies of free humanity."
"The problem is, Mr. Murdoch hasn’t done so, and neither has Mr. Ed Koch. He disregards equality and freedom, closing those entertainment venues without considering the needs of the vulnerable, forcing them into medical centers without willing to foot the bill, expelling the homeless of New York without allowing them to take their own blankets and cardboard boxes. The only time he and Murdoch displayed equality and freedom was during their honeymoon phase of the mayoral campaign when their deal was equal; Ed Koch became the mayor of New York in exchange for the Murdoch Group’s freedom to expand in New York."
"Oh, there was another time when Mayor Koch’s deal with the real estate developer was on equal terms. He got stocks of that New York real estate developer at a low price, then let the developer buy those HIV-stigmatized lands cheaply."
"Lastly, allow me to remind Mr. Murdoch and the eager Mayor Ed Koch, who is quick to explain on behalf of his Australian countryman, the next time you want to show goodwill to the world, don’t donate with American people’s movie ticket money, please damn well donate your own cash!"
