Rights violations in Iran was one of their many post-excuses for invading, while doing the literal same things domestically.
Hypocrisy is a requirement in the Republican party. They are not ashamed of it.
Hypocrisy is a requirement in the US.
There. I fixed it for you.
Broadening the blame away from the worst offender only serves to help the worst offenders get away with it.
Stop it.
Broadening the blame away from the worst offender
No one is doing that, liberal. Reds and Blues are the same face of the same fucking coin.
You mean the two faces of the same fucking coin.
Nope, they’re the same fucking party: the Capital’s party, that is.
The phrase is “two sides of the same coin”. Meaning exactly what you are saying. That they are both the capitalist party. As opposed to another proverbial coin, that of the socialists, anarchists, Monarchist, etc.
Can’t you guys get neologisms and irony? I KNOW what is the original idiom. HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans. Ah, the eternal marvel of the English language: its breathtaking inability to stray from a pre-written script. No wonder it’s the language of contracts, with every clause so exquisitely, flawlessly delineated. Naturally, people then start behaving as if they’re perpetually executing contracts with one another, forever in hot pursuit of pecuniary advantage. And from that, of course, sprang Common Law, Capitalism, and Imperialism - what a coincidence. It’s just so delightfully easy to build colonies and murder on an industrial scale when the target is nothing more than a number. Precisely because they can’t think beyond greed and individualism, they end up so utterly, pathetically lost the moment they set foot in collectivist countries.
How about this: it’s awful in both places. Just because another country started doing it as well doesn’t excuse anything, it means they’re now both doing something unacceptable.
I was specifically calling out the hypocrisy of the USA’s excuses to do imperialism. With that said though, it is now clear as day that while China has the ability to do what the USA is doing technologically, they are using that surveillance more sparingly and for better reasons than the USA. It’s not in China that masked thugs are scanning you with their phones hoping to lock you up in some undocumented place and then either keep you there or send you to a random country away from your family.
I’m not a fan of mass surveillance in any case, but it’s just so hilariously ironic that the same people who fearmongered 24/7 in their media about China being this panopticon dystopia, are the same ones now exceeding this in every way imaginable, far surpassing the imagination of fiction like 1984 or Black Mirror.
It’s hilarious if you believe this, the USA is a surveillance state, sure, but China is clearly not any better. They have cameras everywhere and extremely advanced surveillance tech.
And yet China is a much safer country than the US.
The longer you refuse to accept reality, the worse your situation will keep getting
China was doing that kinda thing in Hong Kong not that long ago. Killing protestors, disappearing people, attacking journalists and doctors. They just aren’t right now. They are srill that bad.
you mean the cIA and MI6 funded and trained troublemakers?
Good riddance
