When you bring this Argument I really wonder if people in the 3 big military states are all bonkers. Like sure! That's what progressive people criticized about USA as well as China for years, and sure, here in Europe we have inhuman systemic problems as well (no power of EU parliament, illegal pushbacks, letting people drown in the meditarnian sea, unfair free trade agreements, Europe corporates owning way to much factorys and land in Africa, still profiting from colonial times to name a few) but using that as an argument that another regions atrocities are actually okay, because others do it to? Wtf is this argument.
I didn't make that argument. You make a good point but it's in agreement with mine, not against it. The point I'm making is people can talk about America without it being about our crimes. I can talk about the urban planning and shit of Amsterdam without someone coming in to tell me about how bad the fucking Belgium Congo was.
However, nothing good can be said about China without " CHINESE PROPAGANDA, YOUR JUST A PAID SHILL, REMEMBER TIANANMEN SQUARE?!?!" When we are just trying to have a basic ass fucking cultural exchange. No other country in the god damn world catches that much flack for the shit they do. That hatred is bred deep and I'm tired of it.
They literally said it's not okay for them either
Thank you
