I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

(EDIT: This was supposed to be a “blow air out my nose and get on with my life” meme…)

    …no one ever said complete. You’re intentionally exaggerating my statements into thing that are not to make them so more unrealistic than they actually are. I know your type.

    No, China is not alone in blocking travel to their country for hate speech or other bigotry.

    Like this. Changing what I said into something else.

    I’m calling you propagandized because you’re going to deny the oppression of the uyghurs in your country. You’re also just outright ignoring what happened in hong kong.

    China is NOT the same.

      Are black Americans oppressed in the US by being put in prison? Is it because they’re black or because they’re poor and thus more likely to need to do crime in order to survive?

      If there were a solution that brought the entirety of black Americans out of poverty by locking up the most dangerous 10% of them after a jury trial and conviction until they were rehabilitated, while massively investing in majority black areas to ensure poverty is no longer a thing in those areas, would you do it?

      This isn’t whataboubtism, before you fail to report me for that.

      Also Hong Kong was colonized until it was returned to China, it was never independent. I’m sorry white people lost their tax haven.

        No, you’re right, that isn’t whataboutism.

        It’s a hypothetical about what did not happen to the chinese population.

        Surely violently killing students is reasonable in light of that…
