People aren't tortured with an iron maiden, but when you have conditions like under trump in 2020, and the suicide rate in ice detention jumped 11 times higher than the previous 10 year average, I don't think you can suggest ice detention is that far away from concentration camps.
Also, Gitmo isn't for enemy combatants - they can chuck anyone suspected of terrorism in there, even US citizens. It most definitely isn't exclusively "war crimes".
Please outline how your personal political opinions about china are going to affect the fact that you have a Chinese toaster. I'll wait.
I'm not sure that's a bar you even clear, given the ice "detention centres" you set up domestically and places like abu ghraib or Gitmo you run on foreign soil. And as for criticising the government, what's the practical use if a felon and a billionaire can rig your election without any repercussions anyway?
"I can call trump a criminal online, that's freedom right there!"
"Will he actually be arrested?"
"Well no, but it feels good to say it"
It means your facts hurt their feels.
You should probably ready the wiki article on whataboutism, so that you understand how to use it correctly next time.
You're right, Google's tracking is way more pervasive and far less optional.
You can't have your "we're better than them cos freedumb" cake and eat it too.
Or ever, unless you go there.
No he wasn't, his statement was about disliking being made to feel bad about climate science he doesn't understand. You're clearly deep in the Joe mental gymnastics brain rot.
Rogan is just a doofus with a show that I happen to enjoy but he himself will tell you he’s an idiot when it comes to almost anything that doesn’t include comedy
And yet he routinely makes declarative statements like "climate science is people making you feel bad about your impact when we don't even understand the science behind it". He's a right wing shill who consistently presents far right ideas like they're truth, but then tongue in cheeks self deprecates, like it cancels out the massive soap box alt right haranguing he just did. He also consistently platforms far right racist, science denying fascists and then nods along while they drip venom in the ear of his brain-dead audience.
Given the insane tariffs on Chinese goods and the fact that china is still thriving begs to differ.
You're splitting hairs here for the sake of winning an argument. There's no practical difference between cruelty and torture to the people suffering it. "Oh and don't worry about it, because it's only hundreds, not thousands in this particular ~~torture~~ cruelty facility".
And as far as genocide goes, you're moving the goal posts here, but if we're playing that game, the native Americans might have something to say about that.
I mean, going back to the original argument here, my overarching point is really that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and the US's track record of authoritarianism and human rights abuses is comparable enough to make them just as untrustworthy at the most and certainly not in any position to criticise a state who is trying to manage billions of people at the least.
