It's worth remembering that the world isn't divided into the US and China. There are in fact other countries, and the fact that the US is willing to violate the rights of the people in those countries on a massive scale and subsequently use that against them (which is an even more important factor) means that there is no moral high ground to be found there.
- nailer 7y agoAgreed (my comment is mainly for the US because that's where a lot of HN users are) but the US is still a democracy and might assassinate people but generally doesn't murder you just for protesting.
- nailer 7y agoNot complaining about downmods but -2 for a pretty boring statement like the above is a bit...interesting? - Do people not think the US is a democracy? Why? Russiagate? - Do people think the US generally murders you for protesting? - Do people think that Tiananmen Square didn't happen?
- krageon 7y agoAt a glance it might be: - Implying that being US-centric by default is okay - Implying that the US (police) does not arbitrarily murder people for doing things they do not like (including protesting) Those are two things that stood out to me as surprising points of view.
