OP in this thread is basically saying that EU should not point fingers toward other nations when they have enough clean-up to do at home. I am arguing that EU, while flawed in its execution of that duty, is actively doing just that. What exactly do you think I am saying?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI think you're exactly implying that this lone anecdote constitutes a good measure by which the EU is "doing more" than the UK or the USA and therefore would not be hypocritical by pointing the finger.
- Y-bar 5y agoWhy do you bring forth this straw man argument?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoIf that's not what you are implying then what was the point of the comment in the first place?
- Y-bar 5y agoTo give a partial retort of OP:s assertion.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoIt isn't even a partial retort because no part of the OP's point relies on there being no instances of attempts to improve things. And even if it did then you could take counter-examples for the UK and USA as well.
