I would say "welcome to the new cold war" but this history books will state it started in 2014.

"It’s really not a great look to play whatteraboutery with genocide."

What on earth are you on about? Did you even read my post? I've been as civil as possible and you've just got straight back in with a provocative and quite insulting statement which isn't anything like what I posted.

What genocide is occurring in the US? Be specific, just saying "whispers" and "join the dots" isn't evidence of genocide like what is happening in China and it's not something you'd accept if the roles were reversed. You'd want specific evidence detailing the points.

As for the article, I've said it's unacceptable in my post and something certainly needs to be done but you've not provided evidence of human trafficking or organ harvesting, you've posted something that says one of the "might" be an issue and then said join the dots.

All I asked for was some evidence so I could see where you formed your opinion. I didn't think it was that controversial to ask for evidence and I certainly don't think it deserved your opening broadside which was downright insulting.

I was trying to engage in a civil way.

How does one civilly engage with that post though?

Learn a lesson from Glassers on here for 2020. The “but China is worse” defence could easily become the board’s “middle class white boys”.

I do sometimes ponder how many things I have to post about and see come true before I don’t get hounded.

Operation Deatheaters is a fascinating hole I fully recommend.

Callis, you've gone a bit overboard here.

There is a clear distinction between what is happening in the US vs. China and Stokie is right to make the point. There really isn't a provable equivalence, and saying that there is sort of diminishes the horror happening in China.

I understand and agree with your underlying point about the gradual creep towards authoritarianism in the West, but to be honest I think you're more importing an existing feud here. Better to let it rest.

Nobody is hounding you. Asking for evidence or pointing out where your not right in your equivalences isn't hounding, it's how debates are done. You require evidence for your position especially when it's as horrific as you posted.

There was nothing in my post that you replied to which couldn't be engaged with civilly. I also didn't use "China was worse" as you've put it. I think you need to go read it again.

You have now literally accused me of playing whatabouterry with genocide - I would like an apology as that's an incredibly insulting accusation.

What feud is that? I provided the links and simply stated connect the dots.

Organ harvesting is a mass global business. You could probably write a shorter list of countries not turning a blind eye to it.

Utterly disgraceful.

It was a horrible accusation which others have also pointed out was totally unwarranted.

No you're not, not when it's an unprovoked and unsupported insult.

You wouldn't like it if someone had done that to you.

Okay.

And you did that to me, difference is you literally got rumbled outright lying about what I said.

I’m sure neither of us will lose sleep tonight over this disagreement though.

Unbelievable.

You've outright misrepresented what I've said in this thread and then one step further and accused me of using whatabouterry around genocide.

You didn't even address any of the points in any proper manner.

I am actually rather annoyed about it, I'm glad it's like water off a ducks back for you though.

All this talk of 5G, surely for the folk in areas like Suffolk coastal don't they need more hamsters and wheels to generate even a 2G signal?

They do have offices in Martlesham but I think they were looking to build a big centre in Cambridge which could have had consequences here

Whether they will still be wanting to do that now is another question

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!
