    No one said “Compared to the US.” You added that part yourself.

    It can be simultaneously true that “The UK and Germany still have a better human rights record than the US” and “The UK and Germany are really failing at upholding human rights.”

    People in the UK are being arrested for saying that the genocide in Gaza is bad. People in the UK have to submit their ID or a face scan just to log in to Discord or Spotify. Trans rights are being systematically eradicated. Are you going to tell me that those are all good things as far as human rights goes?

    The worst part about the dire state of human rights in the US is that it lets everyone else get away with shit like this while saying “Hey, at least we’re not those guys.” The last thing you should be doing is supporting that kind of excuse.

      No you are understanding me wrong. I asked “compared to the US” as this is an article about the US condemning the human rights situation in UK. I think it is dangerous to hop on the train while Shady Vance is meeting with Nigel Farage, it is clear that this is a politically motivated move. People should talk about this right now to support the right extremists in the UK.

      I am in no way saying the situation in UK is good, I just think we should be careful when to give attention to what because of who is saying something.

        Compared to the US? You are insane if you believe that.

        This you? Because I really can’t see how you justify inventing something that someone else didn’t remotely claim, and then calling them insane for believing the words you put in their mouth.

            Yeah, you’re still incapable of understanding that you’re acting like an asshole here, and I’m done trying to teach you basic communication skills.

              I apologize if my answers have offended anybody, that was clearly not my intention. I just tried to underline my point I have extensively explained in my other answers. To be honest, I find your communication pretty rude. I think you might exagerate here and I don’t see where you try to add understanding to this discussion, or “teach me communication skills” how you call it.
