And the fact that these responses are from two completely different countries and continents. Unless you're talking about the media response, which OP has specifically said he's not. He's more concerned about having to pay taxes.

If you're not talking about media response then the whole conversation is pointless. It's not "hypocrisy" that Canada and the US responded differently from Greece to a crisis next to their waters

Are you asserting that the US wouldn't do this, or is this just for deflection's sake?

[–] DudePluto 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neither. I'm insisting on intellectual honesty by asking how the US and Canada's response to a missing sub off their own waters is relevant to the Greek response to missing migrants off theirs.

Would you like some examples of the US treatment of migrants from Mexico? I thought you'd be aware.
