Damn, wow. Meanwhile, the propaganda we hear about China and Qatar.
Edit: The propaganda we hear, and how the USA is somehow, almighty better. We're exactly the same.
- me_me_me 5y ago> propaganda ??? How is stating facts about labour abuse in china or qatar a propaganda? Just because it happens in your country too doesn't change the facts or make both acceptable.
- pestaa 5y agoI think he meant exactly that in contrast of all the anti-China rhetoric, every country is doing the same crap. The implied superiority is the propaganda.
- rootsudo 5y agoThis.
- qsort 5y ago> every country is doing the same crap That's exactly the problem. No, not every country is doing the same crap, not by a long shot. I have no particular axe to grind and I'm not even American, but pretending that the US and China are somehow equivalent on human rights is so dishonest that if anything here is propaganda then that rhetoric is.
- lucian1900 5y agoThe US is definitely much worse, yes. Even just looking at the biggest prison system and all of the invaded countries.
- tgv 5y ago1. Taking away many or even all liberties from millions just because they live in the wrong place (Hong Kong) or belong to to the wrong ethnic-religious group is of a different order. 2. The USA is a federal state, not top-down ruled, unlike China. 3. He Without Sin, Cast the First Stone is a call for compassion, not to stick your head in the sand.
- lots2learn 5y agoIn the US it's being done to convinced criminals and in China it's being done to an entire ethnic group. Not the same by a long shot.
- quantum_solanum 5y agoright yeah, "convicted criminals," never mind the virulent racism and classism of the US legal system.
