You’re an ignorant, chauvinistic, imperialist piece of shit.

Let me tell you something. Fuck reporters. Most are dogmatic agents of capital, propagandists and proud of it. Liars of the worst degree. As the police keep the proles in line with violence so the capitalist press keeps the people in line with lies, chaining their minds, defending capital and western hegemonic control while beating down or ignoring real injustices. If there ever is an American revolution we’ll need to do some serious cleaning of the so-called fourth estate. Because most of them have no principles or have sold out. It’s hard being an honest journalist. You get killed as an honest journalist recently was in Turkey for exposing the CIA lies about China and Xinjiang. Yet if you aren’t, if you participate in the lying, the distortion and manipulation of the people, if you are nothing more than a proxy for the State Dept and CIA you’ve forfeited your immunity card.

what are you, the fucking CIA? shut the fuck and get fucked

This group is funded mostly by US-based NGOs that are almost definitely affiliated with the CIA.

You should leave. This isn’t a place for liberals or right wingers

Torture is awful and should be abolished everywhere. What better place to start than at home? After all, isn’t our efforts best spent using our ‘democratic systems’ to see our desire to end torture realized? The U.S. doesn’t meet any of the published benchmarks for Vietnam in that link lmao:

1. Prohibition of the practices of holding prisoners and detainees for prolonged periods in incommunicado detention and solitary confinement, which not only facilitate and perpetuate the torture of detainees, but in some circumstances can themselves amount to torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatmen . [U.S. has more people in solitary per capita than Vietnam]

2. Commitment to a timetable by which the government will authorize independent monitoring of all prisons, re-education centers, and other places of detention in Vietnam by both international and domestic monitoring bodies to investigate allegations of physical abuse and torture of prisoners and detainees and enforce the absolute prohibition on such abuses by police, security officials, prison and detention center staff, and other detainees. [We do not have oversight or follow- up for reported torture/ abuse in our prisons]

3. Acceptance of country visits by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and officials of the International Labor Organization, with unrestricted access to prisons, detention centers, psychiatric institutions, re-education camps, drug detention centers, jails, police lock-ups, and other places of detention. [No one gets unrestricted access to prisons in the U.S. for investigative/ oversight purposes]

4. Ratification and implementation of Work Convention No. 105 (Abolition of Forced Labor), which prohibits forced or compulsory labor of prisoners convicted of political offenses or because of racial, social, national, or religious discrimination; and publication of a list of all forms of work in which prisoners and detainees are involved (just lol)

As someone who hates torture, I can’t imagine spending any time lecturing Americans about the happenings in a SE Asian country i don’t even share a language with, when there is so so so much torture right here at home

omg shut the fuck up
