Well, didn't America commit mass genocide against Native Americans,and enslave/kill blacks for hundreds of years? Hell, black people are still facing injustice today. But then we act like what the Nazi's did was just so unspeakable and evil... which it was.
The sins of the father are still happening today. Please tell me why black people, my people are being unlawfully killed by our own protectors, falsely accused, profiled, and oppressed. This country loves to act like the same shit 200 years ago isn't still happening. No one is hand waving North Korea.
So you can't criticize other countries or groups if your own history isn't 100% clean? Good luck finding a single one capable of claiming that.
I never said that, my point is maybe if countries and their people would stop trying to pretend they're morally better than everyone else we could find at least a little common ground. Every country has blood on their hands, stop trying to point out who's hands are more bloody.
Even if the US was a carbon copy of North Korea, that wouldn't make it unfair to harshly condemn the North Korean regimen. What's the actual point of deflecting criticism with whataboutism?
Well I know, I was just saying.
I understand your point that "only pointing fingers and trying to get the moral high ground" is not productive, but you came at it the wrong way and with North Korea of all places.
Fair enough.
Who cares its way too good to pass up when it's available.
Fine, but you're the only exception.
Have you visited any atrocities before?
Agreed. Just look at the results of colonialism, the "War on Terror", or the Crusades, for example. Everyone's doing it. We might as well just accept it and look the other way.
