Foreign states are often the way they are because their population prefers that. People shouldn't get so spun up about it. If those people came here they'd probably just recreate most of the things they do there.
- graemep 1y ago> Foreign states are often the way they are because their population prefers that. 1. That does not make it ethical. There was a time when the majority of people in the US thought it right to treat black people as inferior. Did that make it right? 2. This stuff is at its worst in counties where the population has no chance to express their preference. 3. How do you know what people's preferences are in "foreign states"? Did you go there and ask a representative sample of people after convincing them they could trust you enough to tell you their real views? Its amazing how people's expressed preferences match their governments if they will be chucked in jail or murdered if they disagree, and their access to information is limited to what the government things they should know.
