Did Europe forget its concentration camps?
Did Europe forget its concentration camps?
China incarcerates at an estimated 165/100k while the US at an reported 655/100k. The makeup of or prison population is skewed to certain minorities who are also more likely to go to prison vs the same charges to white suspects.
So the US has made it’s “concentration” bland and bureaucratic- but the overall system is still monstrous.
Does that number include those in the concentration camps? China is refusing to give any numbers about them and classifies them as "vocational training centres" so they likely wouldn't show up under that statistic.
Edit: 118

The 165 comes from footnotes here. It may be a bit higher now, but would have to be massively higher to close in to the 4x higher US number.

Remember the Snowden leaks and when the Obama administration made it clear that surveillance is targeting non-citizens? Remember when they made it clear that those of us, not living in the US, have no rights?
And indeed, we have no right to vote, we had no say in the Trump administration being elected and now we have no say in US’s economic war.
So you see, no matter what arguments you bring forth, as long as we have no say in it, our dependency on Android and other US technologies is becoming a serious problem.
... and Google, Cisco, ... are closely associated with the American government ...

As an European: Well, so does the United States. Turns out that being assholes to each others seems to be a human trait.
Not anywhere on the same scale though.

Not only does this appear to be whataboutism, it doesn't even make sense. By modern standards the past activities of pretty much any nation are unacceptable.
