If you study the US empire’s clandestine coups and embargoes and the resulting mass casualties, it’s a valid debate. I still think the US is the slightly lesser evil at the moment. The bigger point is that none of this should be happening. Saying “well your side is worst” is a moral misdirection. Rather, there should be mutual agreement that these are atrocities that need to end.
- onethought 6y agoAgree. But we have a United Nations and international courts... so countries violating human rights themselves are setting a defensible precedent for others. It’s not whataboutism or moral misdirection, it’s about fairness: how come you are allowed to do far worse things, but I am not allowed to do this? This applies to human rights, climate change, foreign aggression... This is actually the issue we (the world) need to solve.
