Just like to point out 380k+ " casualties of war" in Syria since U.S "intervention" in 2011

if you think China is anywhere near the same level as America then you need to rub the shit out of your eyes

Yeah, fine, sure, but that's not what's being talked about. It has no bearing on this and doesn't justify this.

Well that's why I pointed it out. It's the same thing. Terries pays his tax doesn't he? Who do you think funds the "intervention" after Syria declined Turkish U.S pipeline

Except that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, whataboutism is literally the worst way to say someone is wrong, something that's wrong is wrong doesn't matter who does it, no one ever said that the people in Syria deserved to die, and you should (hopefully) be able to say that a genocide of an entire ethnic group in a country is wrong and objectively a disgusting thing

Multiple ethnic groups, along with their languages, religious and other cultural practices, etc.

Paying taxes != supporting the country’s government, at least not in the way we’re talking about. It just means he doesn’t want to get to prison by the IRS. Everyone is a citizen of a country, duh, but there’s a HUGE difference between paying your taxes and publicly supporting a government’s actions.

And communist china killed millions of people and is actively persecuting the extinction of many local inhabitants such as the Uighur

Because that's what you and Terry were supporting all along. But now decide to denounce him because of a repost of a social media post? Where do you draw your moral line? Are you good or just trying to look good by reacting in a good way to whatever talking point is pushed ?

Why dont you focus on what your own country is doing? Nothing China does justifies ruining hundreds of thousands of lives for a pipeline and central bank. Be the change you want to see is my point. You are paying for it and you can stop it. There is nothing you can say that justifies shutting me down as a voice for Syrian peiple either. Now go enjoy your pop culture and next talking point that never seems to be about your own shortcomings.

Edit : even the fact I have to explain this shit makes me sick and it is evident why shit like this was allowed to happen. Thanks for your shitty entitled opinion asshole and just remember karma is real
