I mean, the CCP can straight up kidnap me internationally if they want to.

So can the CIA.


Yes and I’m scared of the CIA too, what’s your point? Your consistent whataboutisms up and down this thread are as hilarious as they are sad.


My point is that domestic surveillance poses more of a potential threat to you than foreign surveillance.


That depends on who you are. And if that’s your point, you should just make that point instead of Reddit-like single sentence whataboutisms.

China just assaulted and kidnapped HK protesters in the UK.


It's not whataboutism when the entire thread started with a comparison. To discuss it further is just... normal. What the hell.


It’s not just here. In every thread on this page that commenter is piping up with single sentence whataboutisms.

“But the CIA” is not “discuss[ing] it further” either. I’d be happy to discuss it properly. But reddit-like pithy stuff like this is not that.

Oh and China just assaulted and kidnapped protesters in the UK. Like, within the last couple of hours.
