As most people must know by now, Putiin's and The Allies of Humanity's road to fascism has become very clear and very NOW. Putin's genocide in Ukraine was only the beginning. Now, one of his alliance-members have decided that facial hair is to be viewed as equal to terrorism.
If this is the way the BRICS-alliance propose to "liberate the world", then I must honstely but decisevely DECLINE the offer to be liberated. Come to MY country and I'll kill you myself, my dear Putler!!

Man who grew a beard is jailed for six years for 'provoking trouble' by Chinese court
A man in China has been sentenced to six years in prison for 'provoking trouble' because he grew a beard.
The 38-year-old from the Uighur minority received several warnings before attending court in Kashgar, local newspapers reported.
His wife was also given a two-year sentence for wearing a veil that hid her face.
In China authorities widely discourage growing a beard because they say it is linked to extremist ideals. The Uighurs vehemently dispute this claim.

The unnamed man started growing facial hair in 2010 before being accused of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' by officials.
A campaign dubbed 'Project Beauty' similarly encourages women to leave their heads bare and abandon wearing the veil - a relatively widespread practice among the Uighurs.
Speaking after the court case officials said: 'Since the beginning of the year, a certain number of people breaking the regulation on beards, veils and burqa have been prosecuted and sentenced.'
The repression of the Uighurs has been fanning tensions in the region for more than a year.

This is a bit extreme, that I will agree....but the conclusions you draw from it are even more extreme. Women in France can´t wear veils for there is a law against it (Australia is working on a similar law) and in Saudi Arabia women will be put in jail for riding a bicycle or driving a car.

ACUTE OBSERVER: China is legendary for human rights abuses. Also note that if you want to play for the New York Yankees, you can't have a beard or hair touching your collar. That's why the Boston Red Sox (big rival of the Yankees) encouraged beards and long hair seven years ago, and proceeded to kick the butts of the Yankees by outranking them almost every year since the trend was started!
