    If your country is doing sex trafficking and slavery (the latter at least is true) then yes, that is something you should take to the streets for. Something happening and something being done with your tax dollars are two completely different things. Don’t project your lack of moral principles and/or spine on other people.

      I don’t even know half the horrible things the US is doing. And the EU is doing plenty of messed up stuff too. Same with Asia. So wait, every single person should be in the streets then? What country are you from? Why are you not in the streets?

        Why? You have the sum total of humanity’s knowledge between your fingertips and you still can’t be bothered to at least educate yourself? “I don’t give a shit about other people and neither should you” is not the flex you think it is.

        So wait, every single person should be in the streets then?

        Literally yes. By the way, plenty of people in your own country are marching and organizing against for-profit prisons (aka slavery). As I said above, don’t project your own lack of principles on others.

        Why are you not in the streets?

        Because I’ll be imprisoned for years and likely tortured. How about you?

          Probably the same reason? Do you think no else stands to lose by sticking their head up?

            If they had that to worry about they’d have said so, not made a meaningless and disgusting appeal to normalcy.

                Uh… literally the other person’s replies? What about that makes you think that they’re afraid of political repression?
