That is the narrative, but I think there's often double think involved with people like this. They will use the exceptionalism narrative when they want to make America sound like the good guy, when they're talking to strangers or children, and they'll really believe it in that moment. But then when they're among close friends they'll openly say that america is great because "we" dominate the globe through force and that is what makes our lives great and it needs to stay that way

Not surprising, it's like the mcu, they don't have any new ideas or even good old ideas but they just have to keep shoveling the shit out because it's profitable.
A personal decision like that will never matter. Only organized collective action could make a difference
Excuse me that character is white

It's Justin Trudeau
Is that an add on? I can't find it in the settings on Mobile
I'm not siding with anyone over anyone. I don't agree with what the Chinese gov did I'm simply saying it doesn't count as genocide. By what definition of genocide does this count in your mind? You didn't ever make that argument. There were no "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group"
You quoted me saying "a million people were detained" but didn't read the whole sentence I guess. I said
Because a million people were temporarily detained? That doesn't make it a genocide unless you think that almost every country is doing a genocide all the time.
Uyghers weren't killed in masses.
They weren't displaced, a lot were imprisoned and then later released.
Birth rates are up in the region.
You can see youtube videos of people in large numbers practicing their culture & religion in public with no state repression.
Did I miss anything? Doesn't even the CIA agree with everything I've mentioned here? Do you disagree with anything I've mentioned? On what grounds would you call it a genocide? Because a million people were temporarily detained? That doesn't make it a genocide unless you think that almost every country is doing a genocide all the time. Were human rights violated? Almost certainly, but that's not the same as a genocide
Yeah.... I'm not gonna put that kinda message out there I don't want to encourage people
It sounds more old fashioned every year. What does "your welcome" even mean. No problem makes more sense and feels more natural
and brainworms from right wing radio psychos, there are a lot of them
