China bullies and threatens all of it's neighbors. They murder more than a few Vietnamese fishermen every year. Greetings from Hanoi.

So your point is that because China does it it's ok for others also to do it? Or is your point that as long as you don't have a perfect track record you're not allowed to speak up when others misbehave? What are you trying to say?

I think it's fair to call out hypocrisy even if it relates to messaging you agree with

Uyghurs are in forced labor camps. That seems like worse bullying.

We really have no high ground here. Our prison industrial complex is much larger and we have way more incarcerated people per capita than china. The USA is 5% of the world’s population and we have 25% of the worldwide prison population. One in three black men will spend time in the United states prison system. We need to worry about the genocide being committed through mass incarceration and the police state here before we start judging china. Forced labor is alive and well in our country. You should watch the documentary 13th

Afaik people in usa are now too. Imperialists are the worst, no matter the color of the rag they are proud of.

When the worst guy in the room has a point :(

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Putin would like a word about being the worst guy in the room.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

China is the only reason Putin still lives btw.

With how things are going around the world, I'm decently sure everyone's competing to be the worst

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 day ago

I think it is a reference to the onion headline "heartbreaking, worst guy you know has made a great point". People are a little flexible on "worst person" and use it whenever a bad person says something good

Sweet plagiarisized quote, foreign minisier.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's the problem here, that they didn't give proper attribution. Spot on.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It's not some profound knowledge here. It's a saying that's been around at least 150 years. The way it's presented here is like it was some quote from Confucious.

Maybe next he can say something visionary about missing shots if you don't take them or something.

The US is full of morons that voted in yet another corporate asshat bent on making it a fascist business. True. He is ruining the world with the help of other insecure little boys trapped in men's bodies. True.

China copies and steals so much intellectual property from other countries. Just don't pretend like China is a blameless helpless country. Trump is scared shitless of China.

I am so embarrassed for my nation.

So many hateful people united in hate towards half of their own country.

Sometimes being a straight white dude is a weird thing, all these horrible people look around make sure there’s none of “them” around and then they say something so vile to me as if I’d agree with them.

I don’t let them off the hook. Ever. I just talk louder “what did you say? I’m hard of hearing please speak up? What did you say was the problem with all black people?! (Mexican people / gay or trans people / Jews / Asians etc)”

Fuck bigots

You live in the south.

The rest of the country isn't anywhere near so pure and absolute evil. I say this as a brown person.

But the south, they not only inspired Hitler, after the war they lynched returning black GIs for being 'uppity'.

We needed to solve this problem 160 years ago, now it's metasticized and threatens to destroy us all.

Battle of a fascist country and a proto fascist country. The roaring 1935 is here.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Unclear which is the former and which the latter...
