    Whataboutism.

    Also what he said was 100% correct, and it’s no more “Han supremacist” than the Union ending slavery in the Confederacy was “Northern supremacist.” The analogy is on point. Slave states don’t have the right to exist.

      Yet slavery exists, in both, China, and US.
      Do you think private prisons are for rehabilitation?

        Hopefully, we will someday reach the point where prison slavery is automatically delegitimizing the way we have with chattel slavery and serfdom. But are you really trying to say that those are equally bad? Do you think the Civil War was pointless, then? Was the South justified in fighting back since the North hadn’t abolished prisons?

        Also, China doesn’t have private prisons.

            And the South will rise again! Free the Confederacy! Amirite?

            Cry more about this ending, along with your favorite feudal theocracy:

            Stand up! Those who are unwilling to become slaves!

              Instead of reflecting no liberation has been made, you rather sockpuppet something I “have not said.” Do you even have morals?

                You didn’t answer my question and just diverted to slogans.

                Do you think the Civil War was pointless, then? Was the South justified in fighting back since the North hadn’t abolished prisons?

                If you refuse to answer, don’t complain if I assume your answer.

                    Yes or no. Not, “Free Tibet,” not “Prisons should be demolished,” YES or NO. It’s not a difficult question.
