    You’re saying that like Russia and China don’t have slave labor camps and haven’t been bombing Africans and Muslims for decades.

      No, he has said nothing about China or Russia. (Self?) criticism is a sign of maturity and wit. Being a western and adhere to western values doesn’t imply assuming justifying it all. In the west we do not have total freedom of speech and/or pluralism of information and, yes, there are worrying “new” forms of slavery.

        You can’t say western news aren’t trustworthy and then rule out basically any other source of news implied. Unless your point is that news cannot be trusted from anyone ever, which is kinda a moot point.

        If you discount the entire west you are left with Russia, China, the middle east, Africa.

        None of them have a better track record in human rights violation then the west, which you discredited for exactly that.

        China and Russia are absolutely relevant, since this post is about tankies. This isn’t deflecting critique of the west, it’s pointing out the hipocrasy of using these faults in the US as a defence of Russia/China.

      Where on earth are you getting this?? China hasn’t been involved in an external conflict since the 60s!

        Admittedly China hasn’t militarily invaded another country since it’s invasion of Vietnam in 79. Though the Uyghur genocide doesn’t strike me as a lot more benevolent than the ongoing wars in Africa and Middle East.

          The majority of the world (notably the vast majority of Muslim countries, who would be burdened with a refugee crisis if there were an actual genocide) doesn’t think China is killing Uyghurs. Only the imperial core countries, that have been bombing Muslims for decades think that:

          Here’s the people telling you that China is killing Muslims:

            There’s no way it’s possible that both the US and China are bad right? It has to just been one. Only logical.
