I get really tired of this: I can't condemn more than one bad thing in the world at a time. No criticism of others unless your country has proven itself to be a saint first. That's terrible: you advocate letting some off for terrible acts. We (you included) should be condemning terrible things everywhere you see them.
- cletus 8y agoThis is a standard defense tactic, sometimes called "What-about-isms" and is a Trump favourite, as it happens. There are some topics for some people where they'll dig in and won't see reason whatsoever. China (for Chinese nationals) is a common one when you can bring up any number of subjects, the "re-educations camps" being just one. But, but, but... what about US internment of Japanese descendants in WW2? Or the genocide of Native Americans? Or slavery? That's how it goes. Sadly.
