    If authoritarianism & the violence it brings (which there is a ton of) in the USA correctly upsets you, then authoritarianism everywhere else (for which there is a ton in China, as well as across most of the rest of the globe) should upset you as well. Trying to make excuses for it in one place or another for ones “team” is pathetic. Fuck all the “whataboutism” - it’s all counter productive.

        More like “statists gonna state” ;)

        But yeah, optimally every person’s human rights should be honored, regardless of what side of imaginary lines they were born in, but I’m not holding my breath to see that happen, or thinking that we just need to join in a round of “kumbaya” to get there.
