    Oh get off your high horse.

    We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it’s undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it’s textbook hypocrisy.

      Thread isn’t about us government.

      We all acknowledge the us government has massive issues.

      You tried to change the subject with a whatabout style comment and got called out for it.

      Further replies = flailing.

      We also criticize our government for doing this.

      Where is that hypocrisy?

      Maybe in the fact that the Chinese citizens can’t criticize their own government for fear of being disappeared. Their only avenue is to criticize ‘the west’.

      It’s sad watching these types say anything at all about hypocrisy.
