It's funny, Reddit as a community is one of the worst places on the internet. Not funny or interesting, terrible place to try and learn anything. But the niche subreddits dedicated to hobbies or activities that are still small are some of the best places on the internet.

It's really astonishing how bad the invasion of Iraq was and also how much it's been memory holed here. No politician or journalist who promoted this and defended it have faced the consequences they deserve.

This is an insane & perfect analogy. Imagine getting on a flight and being offered a plate of shit, and mindlessly thinking "no I'll have the other thing" instead of asking yourself who would offer you something like that, and why you're on a flight where people are eating shit.

Remember when US was trying to foment a coup in Venezuela and our news would show people eating out of garbage trucks to sell the need for "humanitarian intervention"? Not even in the most cynical presentation of that crisis did I see armed police guarding the garbage trucks.

Forced labor in US prisons (where black men make up 34% of the population) is still rampant, meaning slavery is still a reality for many people in America. Maybe make one of these bills for US companies since this is the country you're in charge of.
Today, I signed the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The United States will continue to use every tool at our disposal to ensure supply chains are free from the use of forced labor — including from Xinjiang and other parts of China.
