    @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml

    I’m wondering how you can possibly find yourself writing that China is worse…

    i didnt. i didnt write that China is the worse evil? have it occured to you that they are equally evil to us who have been invaded by these nations?

    i acknowledge that we also have problems with the US. our history is riddled with that. we also have been victims of abuses from Japan during the war, which they dont recognize. in the present, many of our problems from the outside come from China. like the countless lives lost because of their drug syndicates here.

    or are you saying that the dead Filipinos are less important because not as many have died compared to Gaza? because to me, both are unfortunate.

    thats why i cant think of China as the lesser evil. yes, even counting all the astrocities of the western world that you pointed out. because China is as evil as them.

    just because i dont think agree that China is the lesser evil does not mean that i am pro US. that is such a narrow-minded take.

      That’s just as absurd. Be serious; if China were to exterminate your entire country, would you say that that’s no worse than what they currently do? Because that’s what the west does and is doing.

      or are you saying that the dead Filipinos are less important because not as many have died compared to Gaza?

      Yes, less people dying is not as bad as more important dying, that should go without saying. If the Filipino government has killed a single person, does that make it as bad as the Holocaust?

      because to me, both are unfortunate.

      And one is vastly more “unfortunate”. (I would say horrific and monstrous, but sure “unfortunate”).

      thats why i cant think of China as the lesser evil.

      Then I cannot count the Filipines as a lesser evil to the Nazis; if proportionality means nothing and all evils are equal, then you are as evil as the Nazis.

      just because i dont think agree that China is the lesser evil does not mean that i am pro US.

      If you believe of the far worse atrocities of the US do not make it worse than China, then yes, you are pro US, because you have a double standard that favours them.

        oh im sorry about my use of the word unfortunate. english is not my first language so my vocabulary is not as expansive as yours.

          Understandable.

          ???

          ???

          This is bordering on Gaza genocide trivialization, mate. This is pretty vile.
