Assange, Manning, and Snowden would like to have a word with you.
Anna Politkovskaya (Novaya Gazeta), Stanislav Markelov (Novaya Gazeta), Anastasia Baburova (Novaya Gazeta) and Natalia Estemirova (Memorial) would like to have a word with you… No wait they can't, caused they were all killed.
My point is democraties like the US are clearly flawed, but not to the point of assassinating their own citizens. But no point in debating with you, you're probably an agent hired by Moscow to spread its propaganda.
The US absolutely assassinates politival figures like Fred Hampton. The US isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship of capital.
Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd. And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one's the worst country. Anyway, with how things are going, the US are going to be as bad as Russia in a few years.
Correct, the genocidal US Empire far-outscales the problems with the Russian Federation, and it isn't close. The US Empire is the world's hegemon and absolutely plunders the global south, couping, sanctioning, invading, and genociding those who go against that system of plunder.
you're right, the usa is orders of magnitude worse
you literally started this thread by doing exactly that
Agreed. Russia hasn't been couping a random country and slaughtering its people for the last fifty years. Neither is it aiding and abetting a genocide.
The US has by far the worse human rights record, and is easily the most evil empire in world history. They just killed over a million innocent civilians a few years ago in Iraq, running torture camps and assassination programs. Its perpetrated countless atrocities in nearly every single country .
You're right, the US was built on slavery and genocide. Today, it has higher incarceration rate today than USSR had during purges under Stalin. There is absolutely no comparison here.
