> First, stop moving the goal posts and the whataboutism. Now you are bringing things like political assassinations

Can you tell me who wrote this and brought up political assassination?

Because I'm sure it wasn't me.

> Have you ever considered the possibility that China has "less people in prison" because their government just kills any dissident and "troublemaker" without any semblance of due judicial process?

> Take just the million Uighur in "re-education centers"

You mean like the Mexican kids kept in cages while their parents were being deported for the simple fact of being Mexicans?

How many people suffered because of this thing I will link here for the nth time?

And that's only one of many

What about this?

> effects of the Gulf War and over a decade of economic sanctions have resulted in the deaths of 500,000 children due to malnutrition, diarrhea, and other preventable diseases.

(The gulf war was started on a lie, fabricated by the US government)



I ask to stop with the whataboutism and you respond with more of it.

I get it, you don't like the US State. Me neither.

You don't like Facebook. Guess what? Neither do I.

The point of our disagreement is that you seem to believe that people do only bad things because Big Bad American companies are manipulating them. And your solution is to destroy them by executive order and give all this power to... the US State!

The cognitive dissonance is so strong you simply refuse to acknowledge this point every time I mentioned, and you prefer to distill more diatribes against the US.

I am not interested in more diatribes against the US government. I dislike it and distrust it already to know that I don't want it to have more power. What I want to understand is what do you propose besides measures only seen in totalitarian dystopias.
