> That doesn't mean it's positive in human rights

Isn't the US building mass detention camps right now for all the brown people there? And arresting / detaining / demanding papers from any and everyone? With federal agents killing civilians?

Don't get me wrong, China is also horrible here, they have their own camps.

But pretending the US is positive wrt human rights is a wild take in 2026.

No, it is not, but the freedom of speech protections the US has (that China doesn't) allow for such commentary.

Good thing I'm in Europe and not governed by those.

And yes, they are-

If you are willing to be hyperbolic to this degree in the case of the US an equal description of China would make Nazi Germany blush.

Please explain how I'm being hyperbolic?

No? Its for illegal people, regardless of color. Just so happened that most illegals come from specific places

Why would you think that?

> And arresting / detaining / demanding papers from any and everyone?

I have lots of friends from outside the U.S. that come regularly and don't find it onerous. Maybe it depends where you are coming from?

> With federal agents killing civilians?

OK, I agree that there are issues, and even very serious ones. Obviously, not on the level of China, but still serious issues. Nonetheless, what you see on left leaning media is not representative of what is happening on the ground throughout the U.S. Not even close.

IMO, the US is definitely positive wrt human rights. There are issues, but you can go to a No Kings protest, and live your life happily without issues, and it is hard to find another country that is nearly as forgiving. And it at least has people trying to spread concepts of individual liberty, vs most countries in Europe, almost all countries in Asia, and ALL Muslim countries, that are leaning to removing individual rights.
