How many wars have the US started?
- cybrox 2y agoWhataboutism. Also, I'm not from the US.
- sunaookami 2y agoThere is no such thing as "whataboutism". It's correct to point out typical western hypocrisy and they defend themselves with invented words like "whataboutism".
- cybrox 2y agoLife must be simple if every kind of criticism is simply hypocrisy.

- cybrox 2y agoWitty response. - Too bad it falls flat considering there was no attempt at criticism but just a mention of a different, unrelated topic. But alas, I know how these conversations play out so rest assured that I shall no longer correct you.
- some_random 2y agoThe US staged an intervention in Panama therefore the Saudis are allowed to own slaves and work them to death is not a coherent position to hold.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoThe better argument is to say that (often undocumented) hospitality workers in the USA are often treated only very slightly better than some of these saudi workers. And if cheeto-in-chief gets elected and does what he says he will do, it will only get worse.
- some_random 2y agoFirst off, that's just flat out not true. 21,000 deaths and 100,000 missing is completely beyond the pale and has no point of comparison in the US. Secondly, if you genuinely believed that undocumented workers were treated this poorly in the US, you'd be begging for them to be deported back to their home countries. The reason why that policy is bad is because they are in fact better off in the US.
