When the west does it it's called freedom but when China foes it it'd called artificial tyranny.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So is it okay because the West does it too or wdym

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Very simple concept. If 2+2=4 in China and in the West, then if a thing done in the West is "good" then the same thing being done in China must also be "good". The action, not the actor, should determine if a thing is "good" or "bad". Almost all news sources define "good" and "bad" subjectively (i.e. based on the actor) not objectively (i.e. based on the action and the result).

So are both of those things good or bad in your opinion?

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what my opinion is I'm arguing for consistency.

But you don't know if the person you replied to is being inconsistent
