Found the human rights abuser!
Hey man it's not my fault my taxes have funded genocide for decades.
You are just here to deny human rights abuses as long as it is your team.
I don't have a team so I don't need to make excuses for fascist shit countries.
I'm not on any nation team. I'm on the human team. If humanity can do better, we should. I live in America, and I've read mostly American history so I'm more aware of our crimes. I don't trust anything our captured media says about the rest of the world.
But you will trust anything China says when it denies its long history of human rights abuses?
Something doesn't add up. I do appreciate your appeal to team human and I agree we can and should do better.
I have studied human rights abuses for over three decades now. I can confidently say no nation except perhaps in ancient history can compare to the US levels of human destruction. If you count environmental destruction then no country in history can come close.
So the problem with that is that all the accusations of human rights abuses come from the United States, so who am I supposed to trust? I know I can't trust the US, so why should I take the accusations seriously in the first place?
Oh that's cool. What do you do?
I think you are confusing propaganda from the US with numerous investigative reports by reputable journalists and organizations like Amnesty International.
I trust independent reporters who can verify their sources. This is why I believe China has committed numerous human rights violations. They even self admit executing political prisoners.
There really is no question about this and denial basically makes a person a useful idiot. I often see dischenfranchised US citizens looking to other fascist countries like Russia or China for answers. I think the song For What It's Worth about sums it up, "nobody is right if everyone is wrong."
I am a social worker by trade and I have spent my life helping people. I have fought long and hard for dischenfranchised people's rights at steps of my state's capital building. I helped secured the right to gay marriage in Washington State by lobbying my representatives as just one example.
I have been involved in local, state, and federal politics. I have conducted numerous letter writing campaigns that have resulted in political prisoners release. I have been a community organizer and I have gotten laws and policies passed in my city to protect people.
There are so many good ideas out there it isn't funny. There are numerous right ways to do anything and there are creative solutions we still have yet to think of.
Cool I like to learn. Can you share a few of them?
Isn't that better than not admitting to it? Like the US and it's allies?
So you'll have to back up calling China fascist. That sounds like being a useful idiot for the CIA if you ask me.
So not in China right?

I am not sure why you would deny China is fascist. Perhaps you are operating on fascism = bad instead of fascism = corporatism. The entire world is pretty much fascist at this point and denying it definitely makes you a useful idiot.
I really think you are being disingenuous at this point. You clearly have picked a side already and that is okay. Have fun with you choosen overlords.
