- google234123 3y agoJust don't (insert some random example injustice found literally in every country)
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoWhat? Do pregnant workers on visas lose their jobs in the US? How is it in "literally every other country"? There is a common misconception that Singapore is a paradise. As someone with family in Singapore, why can't I point out injustice faced by folks like me? Privileged westerners have rose-tinted views of countries like Singapore. As an Indian, I was horrified to see "No Indians allowed" ads for rentals. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26832115 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26832115 https://www.ricemedia.co/culture-life-racism-indian-national-singapore/ https://www.ricemedia.co/culture-life-racism-indian-national...
- Our_Benefactors 3y ago> Aside from the laws Aside from the societal foundation it’s great!
- BizarreByte 3y agoWell some of us aren’t opposed to execution of traffickers.
- Our_Benefactors 3y agoSo why would that be “aside from the laws”? The point is that framing something in that way is _ludicrous_ because laws play a large role in shaping a society.
