    Imagine if every time something inside the United States got discussed someone popped in to say “remember how we have the most enslaved people of any developed country on the planet”?

    I’d be fine with it personally. But if you think that would be annoying, maybe you should stop doing the same thing.

      I wouldn’t find it annoying. I think it is important to remind the populace of the abhorrent things governments do, ESPECIALLY when they continue to do these things. The camps are still operational. So I’ll be happy to shut up when they shut them down.

        Fair enough, I have pretty much the same attitude towards Israel’s ongoing genocide. I don’t like what China is doing but I’m not funding them.

          I agree on the Palestine genocide and it’s terrible the U.S. requires an ally in the Middle East so bad they are willing to overlook and contribute to what is happening. But everyone is funding China because everyone buys their products. I have tried hard to stop buying their products. It is challenging, and sometimes impossible, but I do my best. Anyway, I’ll stop derailing the conversation in an energy forum. Thanks for your patience and not deleting my posts, mods.
