The West is to be judged by its intentions, its antagonists are to be judged by their actions.
Nah, they're judged by what our propaganda says their intentions are.
Yeah, hundreds of millions are out of poverty, but at what cost?
you don't feel like you're getting an incomplete picture of the world judging countries that way?
They were describing your process for judging countries, not endorsing it, lol.
no wonder they're so confused, haha.
you're all making a lot of leaps.
I'm not confused. I'm also not making a leap.
No, u
@[email protected] is describing the standard judgement process of liberals. Western countries are typically judged on their stated intentions, eg Biden claiming to have done everything he could to get a ceasefire in Gaza, while actually supplying Israel with everything they needed.
Liberals, however, do not extend such courtesy to non-Western countries, and moreover tend to accept the narrative most pushed in the media about such countries despite distorting the quantity and quality of events.
oh, well...that's not what's happening here. I try not to conflate everything with one thing.
The leaps these commenters make are broad.
It seems to me that you're guilty of being evasive, like when I asked you to clearly state your position on the quantity and quality of the re-education camps in Xinjiang. You're just wasting your own time more than anything, by lacking a firm and coherent stance and sources to support your argument, you weaken every statement you make.
I'm clearly answering every question and including sources when requested.
that is a novel brand of evasion.
Even in this very comment, you refused to clearly state your position on the quantity and quality of the re-education camps in Xinjiang. This is evasion.
not answering questions I haven't been asked is not evasive.
I asked you the same question here and here, and I'll do so again in simpler and clearer terms here:
What is going on in the re-education camps in Xinjiang, with sources?
What is the extent, ie the scale, of the re-education camps in Xinjiang, with sources?
Why do they exist in the first place, with sources?
1 and 2 have been answered previously, do you want the official answer for 3?
You haven't answered 1 and 2 to my knowledge, you've been cagey and evasive. I would like you to answer all 3, complete with sources, in a single comment. That would save us all the most time. If you'd prefer, you can directly link where you've answered and sourced your answers for 1 and 2 if you wish to stick by those answers, but based on parsing your comment history, you haven't done so yet.
clear answers, facts, sources are not evasive.
maybe you just don't like the answers you are receiving.
I'd like to recieve the answers to begin with, but I'll take this final evasion as an admission of your being outright unable to answer my questions.
if you think clear answers, facts and sources are evasion, then you're not going to be satisfied with any response.
Mind showing me where you gave me clear answers, facts, and sources to my questions? I'm not satisfied because I haven't recieved those.
they're in your comment history, you'll probably be able to find them pretty easily.
The podcast by The Economist with 2 unverified testemonials, and the numbers you never gave proper links to other than to indirect articles?
No they haven't.
Anything's possible when you make shit up
It is exactly what you did though.
not me.
I'm reporting facts rather than judging
there's no bias on the east or west from my comments.
obviously I can't speak for the bias if all of these other excited commenters.
I'm interested in actions and intentions, regardless of country.
not just actions and intentions, but complete historical events within context.
No you aren't
Yes there is.
