            You understand that your bully acting like they care about how another bully treats their victims might be… perturbing though right?

            Like obviously neither bully is justified. But the hypocrisy of it all might feel like rubbing salt in the wound.

            Even more so when that wound is actually your dead friends and family… from all the bombs…

              US regime is special in that way they are like the good liberal, they got the money and the guilt.

              But at national level it work: I do genocide but I also criticize others for doing genocide

      I’m not American, but I am very much a Westerner.

      I can protest my government’s shitty politics. I can vote in politicians that amplify the message. I can donate to politicians in other jurisdictions than mine that have good politics. MPs and MEPs that represent me and people who think like me have taken brave stances, have thrown wrenches, have done what they could. One day, just like we stopped South African Apartheid, we WILL stop Israeli Apartheid, and you can shove your cynicism up yours.

      Are Chinese citizens allowed to do ANY of that?

        You know this guy is gonna say they are allowed to, and choose not to because they love their government sooo much. Kind of like how the people of Germany loved Hitler so much that 99.3% of them voted for him in his last election.
