Aww yes I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote about the need to form a more perfect union that allows hostile foreign governments to run a direct unfettered pipeline into the minds of its youth with zero oversight.
- spencerflem 2y agoLuckily we get the unfettered propaganda pipeline of hostile american billionaires instead.
- SXX 2y agoAmerican billionares are surely much worse than totalitarian state running internment camps.
- spencerflem 2y agoAmerican billionaires have a much more direct impact on my life than totalitarian states halfway across the globe. Also, not to defend the CCP, but America has more prisoners than any other country, China included, and dramatically more per capita.
- tempaccount420 2y agoAmerica is also an incredibly diverse and rich country.
- nozzlegear 2y agoThere's a huge difference between internment camps designed to oppress and reeducate Uighur Muslims, and regular prisons. These are not the same thing at all.
- spencerflem 2y agoBeing real, I don't think there's as big a difference as you think. Read "The New Jim Crow", or look at anything BLM was mad about, policing in the US is extremely racialized.
- nozzlegear 2y agoI don't disagree that there's a big problem with the way Black people are treated by police and the criminal justice system in the US. In fact I think the prison system we currently have is pretty terrible and I want to see it reformed, having had three close (white) family members who've been in prison/jailed. I'm just pointing out that there's a big difference between a justice system that's systemically biased against a certain race, and a system that's explicitly put in place to target a certain race.
