OK, I'll bite.
So, per your argument, just because the Spaniards butchered the natives in the Americas and so did the early US settlers, we should not not have criticized the Nazi Germany. After all they were also different, weren't they?
If we go by your argument, the humanity will never learn from it's own mistakes and crimes of the past, because someone in the past would have done something similarly evil.
- grandalf 17y agoYour statement inadvertently underscores my own point. Do you seriously think that the US entered WW2 to stop Nazi atrocities? The US entered because its interests were threatened and it focused its stateside propaganda effort on Nazi atrocities. Similarly, the anti-China propaganda serves to ready Americans for war, etc. The fact is, most Chinese people are living happy, peaceful lives and care far more about their own family, work, and friends then they do about what results pop up in Google. Obama has already begun a trade war with his tire tariffs... a massive embarrassment to the US and a loss of any meager moral high ground we may have had on issues of economic freedom. There's nothing wrong with finding fault in some of China's policies. But isn't that the role of the Chinese people? With Americans being raped in prisons every day, should we really focus on Chinese human rights atrocities?
