Doubt the million or so Iraqis that died during that time period would agree

Re read the content I replied to, they were praising the period between 1989 and 2001

So you don’t want to engage with a literal what-about-ism?! Pff what has the internet come to, when dishonest arguments get shot down…

This word you are using, it doesn’t mean what you think it means. It’s not whataboutism to say “no you are wrong, that period you say was great, really wasn’t, here’s one example”.

Its me, I am them. I was praising that period. Lots of iraquis die constantly outside of the timeframe I chose and had stuff happens all the time. Doesn’t change the key factors of being after the threat of global nuclear destruction and before the stamping down of human rights in the west

Motherfucker, the black people were segregated until the 70s and early 80s. Get that propaganda “stamping down of human rights in the west” bullshit outta here.

Grab a book and see how the west has been at the forefront of “stamping down of human rights” throughout most of recent history.

Ok. Black people were also slaves earlier than that. Also, the dragnet surveillance, and all the other human rights abuses created as part of the war on terror affects black people and racial minorities.
