They are deporting citizens from other counties to a black site known to torture and detain criminals all over the world. Like that lady from Canada a month ago who spent 2 weeks in a cell.
The US has been put on human rights watchlists.
Their police actively kill first ask questions second. They kill so many innocent black people that the world formed Black Lives Matter in support.
Keep staying delusional I guess till Trump starts building those gas chambers.
Buddy I didn’t deny anything about how our own government is actively an authoritarian regime or any of the shitty things it is doing. But we still are not at People’s Republic of China (PRC) levels yet. We do not actively censor the media on the same level as PRC where even the slightest hint of disapproval is enough to be disappeared, yes though the waters are being tested here. For now we still have elections on the state level that can mean something since more than one party can run. We are still allowed to protest here without just being shot on sight. We have an uncensored internet for the time being so I do think it is fair to say we are not as bad as the PRC.
The sacred rituals of Western civilization-- the election and the press-- were long ago subsumed by capital. You don’t need to formally censor when the oligarchs own the media and will skew the messaging to serve their interest. You don’t need to have a single party state when the Overton window has been dragged so far right that no electoral outcome can actually oust billionaire rule.
At least, in that context, we can ask who censorship serves? Is it about social cohesion and stability, or preserving the privilege of a handful of people?
Guys guys, settle down. Two countries can be horrible dictatorships which don’t care about it’s citizens human rights. It doesn’t need to be a contest. Both of you have a popsicle and go play on the swings.
Yeah but our current position is perpetual humiliation
I’ll trade current event humiliation/nazism for the historical variant.
Germany and china are less fucked up than USA in 2025
China is still actively committing genocide against the Uyghurs so I’d would definitely not say the last one

That’s a bingo!
I don’t know anyone with a modicum of brains to debate that one lol. Every county has skeletons. Every. One.
Governments don’t care about you. Anymore than a stranger would.
Governments are just strangers that happens to be in positions of power.
Yeah but we’re actively genociding our own people and other countries peoples.
We’re technically even shittier
Yeah and McDonalds keeps genociding all those potatoes to make fries, its bullshit. What’s genocide mean again?
Extermination of an ethnic, religious, or nationalist group
This can be achieved through murder, reeducation, banning cultural practices, or diluting the population so their customs become lost
Can people make up their mind if they are against or for religion already?
Religion is fine in the privacy of your own home or place of worship
It’s when it enters public life that it becomes a problem because then it’s infringing on other people’s rights
