Biden's Hypocrisy

[TreeFrogTrader]

Well, I knew when I wrote that someone would say "but Trump...."
He's not President anymore, and Biden was elected for change. Right? Right.

Comparing taxes and 100 or so athletes to a modern day genocide is not apples to apples.

And f what the "rest of the world" does. We should lead.
Let our athletes compete in Atlanta or N. Carolina and invite the rest of the world.

Sorry Ocho, you're not going to change my mind on a f'n genocide buddy.

You have lefties protesting and rioting in Portland most of the year these days because they allegedly care about justice and saving the world.

Meanwhile, the headquarters of Nike- big users/beneficiaries of Ugyhar labor- is just outside the city. You won't hear a peep from protesters though because America bad, China good.

U.S. bans imports from China’s Xinjiang region, citing human rights abuses

• President Joe Biden signed a bill Thursday that bans imports from Xinjiang and imposes sanctions on individuals responsible for forced labor in the region.
• The Biden administration has previously described the abuse of Uyghurs and members of other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang region as “widespread, state-sponsored forced labor” and “mass detention.”
• Beijing denies that it has abused religious and ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.

Not changing your mind on a genocide... just telling you to stop the position that if people protest something in their backyard they are hypocrites because they are not protesting everything bad going on in the rest of the world....

The Olympics are meant to not be political and even though not happy about them being in china, i dont want to crush any athletes dreams because politicians are in a pissing match.

Dem Co-owner of Golden State Warriors says he doesn't care about Uyghurs

Go throw out everything in your house that was made in China or comes from China....before throwing stones .

If the U.S. politicians boycott the Olympics, the other countries will not give a shit and the Olympics will still go on but thousands of athletes who have nothing to do with politics will have to stay at home after 4 years of training.

There are other ways to speak out about what China is doing but the Olympics is certainly not the way.

Also this has been going on since 2016 and trump was pretty quiet on it as well so simply saying Biden is being weak is a little naive.


Also please explain to me the argument that people can only care about the issue that bothers you but if they focus on anything else they are hypocrites haha

So U.S. politicians are shitty for focusing on issues in their own backyard over what is happening in China?? When did we elect thte MLB to address Chinese treatment of Uyghurs....


To illlustrate my point, imagine the media said "GOP spent all its time giving tax breaks to the rich rather than fighting for the Uyghurs in China..."

I'm sure if you look up OP's name under the subject Uighur, you'll find his outrage during his preferred team's term when this was reported three years ago; meanwhile:

I wrote this in another thread, but it also deserves to be posted down here.
Where the f is @UsualName, Tony, Exgoper's and even Freddie's outrage over this? Ocho?
I mean lets focus on things that are really important... not boys and girls sharing the same bathroom laws.
How are you gonna justify this one @UsualName?
I can't wait to hear.

My post:

Do you remember a few years back, the NCAA banned tournament events in N. carolina over bathroom rules?

And not to get political but didn't Georgia ban a bunch of stuff over whatever happened after the election?
The MLB All-Star game?

That's all well and good... but there are over 1 million native (like our American Indians) Uyghur 's in NW China being held in concentration camps, and these people are being raped, murdered and tortured. This is not bs. It is really happening.

Yet Biden is letting us go to the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February?!
Our Fortune 500 companies are sponsoring this event?!
Wtf am I missing here Stoney?
The word "hypocrisy" doesn't even come close. We're worried about a bathroom law to the extent that the NCAA bans the final four... but people are getting tortured raped and killed... and we turn the other cheek? Wtf?
Is it me, or does this seem pretty f'd up?
Whatever.

A month and a half later...

I see that Fox, and even a few of the left leaning outlets, are finally coming around to my point of view here.
Imagine that.
