If possible, do we have a common list of sources for other topics as well?

im not from either of those places and like, don't you see how clearly this is whataboutism.

Whataboutism is a liberal thought-terminating cliché whose purpose is to shut down valid points about inconsistent rhetoric and thoughts. Liberals depend on inconsistency to maintain their worldview, for them and theirs to be the good guys doing correct actions even though they constantly do the exact opposite and for their designated enemies to be evil incarnate deserving of every violence the liberals' governments attempt to unleash.

Instead of validating this absurd way of thinking, criticize it.

normally i dont really like the 'logical fallacy' point in political diacussions or whatever, but damn. all governments around the world are awful and will fuck the working class as soon as it gives a powerful individual more power.

Is "Israel" genociding Gaza the same as Vietnam having traffic cops? This flattening rhetoric is not insightful, it is actually incorrect and you're using it to defend actual imperialist lies. It's also basically ancap bullshit at its core, zero social analysis, just a vague "government bad" statement. What tools do you think the working class will use for its liberation? You think it's just going to abolish government and survive?

if the UN has clearly stated that in many interviews people have said they were forcibly drugged, woman assulted and people interred without access to communications with their family...

"The UN" has said none of this. Read your sources more carefully.

idk, ig i am wasting my time, obviously the most scrutinised multi-national institution is bias. china definately doesnt have greater representation than most other countries.

I think you're trying to make some sarcastic point but it doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to say?
