People aren't tortured with an iron maiden, but when you have conditions like under trump in 2020, and the suicide rate in ice detention jumped 11 times higher than the previous 10 year average, I don't think you can suggest ice detention is that far away from concentration camps.

Also, Gitmo isn't for enemy combatants - they can chuck anyone suspected of terrorism in there, even US citizens. It most definitely isn't exclusively "war crimes".

Please outline how your personal political opinions about china are going to affect the fact that you have a Chinese toaster. I'll wait.

I'm not sure that's a bar you even clear, given the ice "detention centres" you set up domestically and places like abu ghraib or Gitmo you run on foreign soil. And as for criticising the government, what's the practical use if a felon and a billionaire can rig your election without any repercussions anyway?

"I can call trump a criminal online, that's freedom right there!"

"Will he actually be arrested?"

"Well no, but it feels good to say it"

It means your facts hurt their feels.

You should probably ready the wiki article on whataboutism, so that you understand how to use it correctly next time.

You're right, Google's tracking is way more pervasive and far less optional.

You can't have your "we're better than them cos freedumb" cake and eat it too.

Or ever, unless you go there.

Given the insane tariffs on Chinese goods and the fact that china is still thriving begs to differ.

You're being absurdly literal - 25% of US citizens within the context of a study does NOT linguistically suggest it means 25% of total living US people. The fact that no one else in this thread shares your interpretation shows you completely lack the ability to parse basic comprehension of the English language without taking the absolute most literal path, which given the nuances of the English language, is usually the wrong interpretation.
