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?
