Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL Prison Rodeo is a real thing - inmates play poker in the middle of a rodeo with a raging bull and have to sit and resist the urge to run from it in order to win money by gravitasgamer

Of course it's barbaric! What are you on about? Whataboutism?

I haven't lived in Canada for almost 2 decades and don't particularly like much about it. Systemic slavery/dehumanization of one country doesn't cancel out the others.

I'm 3rd generation Canadian so...? TIL is about 'I recently found out' This horror against Native Canadians has been known to most well-educated Canadians for at least a decade.

Seriously what's your point? Moral relativism? You think I don't criticize my home country? Or I'm not allowed to criticize others because I personally sterilized native peoples?

Get a grip. We can be both be right about barbarism in a variety of cultures.

I never blamed the US for any of my problems. I didn't mention my problems. In fact, I praise the US for their defense of Europe!

Don't you claim to be an American with German ancestry? You should be ashamed of slavery and the Holocaust, no? Whatever generation of German you are is irrelevant.

The prison system in the US is by far one of the worst in the developed world. I'm not sure if you're a pro-American bot or a middle schooler with too much access to the wrong corners of the internet.

Both sides in history can be bad. You can call out all of the horrible shit that Canada has done but it's not an argument against the US' inhumane prison system. Nobody is arguing with you but yourself.
