You sound like a fucking idiot, and this is why people hate Americans. People are being rounded into camps and murdered in both China and Kashmir right now, and the crackdowns in places like Hungary, Venezuela etc are far worse than the USA's pathetic politics. Oppression Olympics are dumb, but claiming you have it worst is outright fucking offensive.

I’m not an American, Harold. And there are camps all over America too. Walking away for a second and then coming back with the exactly same countrywank argument still isn’t going to work when you haven’t even got your facts together.

I'm a different coalie, you moron, and if you're not American you're even stupider than I thought.

....They referred to Americans as a third party in their entire comment? How did you miss that the first time....

I guess I’ll never get the appeal of country-wank. I have no nationalistic bone in my body lmao carry on, sorry.

dc

I don't either. I was born here by accident of birth. I heavily criticize my country because it should be better. I don't pledge blind allegiance to a nation simply because this is where I was squirted out.

Right? Everywhere sucks but we are all in this together and have to hold each other accountable within out countries as much as outside them. What happens in China is as bad as America is as bad as Australia. We have to do what we can to make our countries be less shitty and support people in similar situations abroad. Every country* has good and bad.

Except you England. I will always enjoy watching you lose. /Welsh coalie >:)

See, sometimes I think if us sensible people banded together maybe we could get shit done.

Of course your football rivalries would ruin everything. ;)

What happens in China is as bad as America is as bad as Australia

That is just objectively not true, though. Two of those countries put immigrants in concentration camps. The other one is engaged in an actual genocide. These things are all bad, but they're not comparable.

Show us where the US are imprisoning 1.5 million uyghurs then.

Yes, China is fucking terrible. This is not news. But don't be disingenuous and act like you don't know about the US's camps full of Mexican children.

Or how many black people are trapped in chattel slavery 2.0: America’s industrial prison complex.

Yep. I encourage everyone to watch the documentary The 13th Amendment. It still only scratches the surface, but it's eye-opening. We got rid of slavery 1.0 I guess, but this country is still steeped in the worst kind of racism. And as a white woman, I promise you that most feminism here is really only about white women, which is why I can't even claim it. I was naive and didn't think that for a long time, and have had my eyes really opened to that in the last couple of years. It's for a certain type of woman, and that's about it. (I'm bisexual, so it's really not for me either.)

We've made great strides compared to where we used to be, but we have so fucking far to go. We need to make America great . . . in a way it's never been before.

SA

I think it's actually just called The 13th. (Sorry. My daughter is home for the holidays and I've had wine.) Used to be on Netflix, not sure if it is now. Well worth a watch. It's heartbreaking but necessary viewing.

There are 2.2 million people in the US prison system. Almost 400k people are in those awful ICE camps. Governments fucking suck and it isn’t specific to any country.

You do realize that America a) isn’t all cishet WASPS b) treats nearly all of its minorities fucking awful in unique and increasingly violent ways, right? Speaking of 9/11, do you realize that being Muslim in America fucking sucks?

🔥 🥵

Don't you know? Only america is real. Everyone else is fun stuff on tv that you can yell about.
