    I’m not really shocked by any human rights abuse coming out of the Middle East tbh. Most of those countries are still somehow theocracies, and that will never be good for easily abused and exploited groups.

    You all know slave labor is legal in the USA by law, right?

        Let’s take note of the up and down votes between our comments, and realize how fucking disgusting American propaganda is.

          You’re being down voted for engaging in whataboutism, not because people disagree with you - especially on this site you won’t find many who disagree
