Would you define communism?

> their continued atrocities

Before it comes to China's alleged atrocities that every single Muslim country's parliamentarians and diplomants say they dont exist: Have you yet persecuted and jailed those who murdered 1 million in Iraq?

But why is the parent comment not flagged and collapsed then?

I believe all the parent comments in this chain are flagged and collapsed.

Even if they weren't though, we need you to follow the rules whether others are following them are not, so pointing to what other people did isn't a good way to respond to moderation.

(Moderation is inevitably inconsistent, btw, because we don't see everything.)

It wasnt flagged and collapsed before, but after I flagged it after your initial comment, it seems to have been. I guess we have to actively report such stuff then. In any case its great that objectivity is being observed while moderating.

America voted for a president who said he would, but then reneged on that promise.

…either that, or he got into office, saw some actual intelligence and realized his utopian views were not grounded in reality. Then he did the responsible thing and didn’t keep an unethical promise.

I didn’t really care for Obama but he did the right thing on that item, in my opinion.

So your theory is that Obama is still a good guy because he secretly discovered that the Bush administration and all the CIA torturers were secretly good people who were doing the right thing the whole time?

Bull. Shit.

Well. If the Americans at least showed the actual war criminals in their midst same rencor that they are exhibiting against concocted/alleged war criminals abroad, things could change. But they aren't. They aren't even using harsh language against them. Instead, they are directing all their ire and harshest words always against "others' crimes"...

Few people have harsher words for American politicians than Americans themselves. Hating whoever the POTUS is has always been a lot more popular than hating China.

If they do, we aren't seeing it anywhere online. They always rant about others. And the few anti-war left and right that remain are so few that you dont even know that they exist unless you actually seek them out and follow them.

You and I must be using different internets.
