I was not responding to an accusation or difficult question.

I was raising the fact that the same things happens nearby - and one might feel the same sickness over it. And maybe do something about it.

Yeah, but I did not what about, did I? I expressed the fact that absolutely everything about NK is unacceptable.

But if parent poster is deeply bothered by certain inhumane acts, then they should be aware that there are terrible things happening, things which would make him sick, and differently from NK, situations such as ICE may actually be changed with enough public pressure.

Have you ever heard of ICE?

Not that NK is in anyway acceptable - it’s a sad mess. But you must be aware that they do not hold a monopoly on being terrible.

Things get byzantine fast in Brazil.

He did say who she was, and explained the relevant information about her that made his point.

I think it made his lecture even better - he was able to communicate using an anecdote about someone I never heard of, but gave enough context for it to make sense to me. Most people don’t think about this.
