The American president just today proposed to do ethnic cleansing, and almost no American media outlet deigned to mention what it was. The US has been complicit in multiple genocides in the past 50 years, such atrocities are very much not just backstory and certainly are a present modus operandi as well. They've only even been backstory within living memory - they used to be inspirational stories.

I found articles on ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox with its usual vile spin by the commenters

    I didn't say it wasn't reported, I said outlets did not mention that it is ethnic cleansing. At best they'll cite someone who they qualify as biased as suggesting it could be.

      What part of the results of the last election make you think that the majority of the American public would care if Israel dropped poison on the Palestinians and killed them all?

      A large minority of the US literally thinks that Israel needs to be protected at all costs to make sure that when the rapture comes, Jesus will need some place to come back to.

Can’t disagree with you about America. But the fact that you can post this without fear and we can protest these injustices is what separates us from China.

    The reason I replied to you is because you did disagree, by saying this is the Chinese modus operandi while it's merely our modus operandi.

    As far as posting this without fear, I don't mind but I know many do, and stay silent on the subject. We are better in terms of freedom of speech but it's certainly not a subject anyone can speak on freely.

      I lived in China for 6 years and am well versed in the levels of control in play there, and the degree of freedom here is not at all comparable.
