Individual US states is not the same as the "The US". And what you are linking to is not sanctions and again has no state-actionable consequences against BDS that I can see. It is a condemnation.
> It seems as if. Everyone in the us who does not support the bds movement.
Good they have some sense, even so BDS is still allowed to operate in the US. How will BDS ever survive now that it has been made clear that nobody likes them, while they are still allowed to operate. I mean they are entitled to everybody's support no?
> I've tried both podman and lxd with success but I'm curious, what do you use a tool like that for, mostly?
I use podman for dev and test environments, CI and CD workers and testing OCI containers that I eventually deploy in K8S. No production use cases. Hoping to soon see K3S working inside podman though, and then I would use it for deploying K3S :)
I assume you are referring to the Democrat controlled US House passing a resolution with bipartisan support and a 398-17 vote which condemns BDS[1].
BDS is still allowed to operate and the condemnation has no state-actionable consequences against BDS. And there are members of the US congress who openly support BDS.
> When a fifteen year old can be put into prison for years in some U.S. states for some weed it hardly makes makes the U.S. look like it values human rights.
Would like to see some examples of this, and numbers of this. I really doubt this is widespread.
And further, if it does happen, it would have to get through prosecutors, jury, governors, etc - all of who will completely eaten alive by the press if the kid could even be misinterpreted to be a minority in the USA and the whole world would know about it. Where if someone mentions China is not exactly a good actor we get a whataboutism shitstorm.
It is a bit weird that there are whole movements like BDS setup against Isreal, a wholly democratic and liberal country where people of all religions enjoy the same rights and nobody is placed in concentration camps, while every time someone mentions that China is a bad actor we get asked why does BDS not exists.
BDS does exist, and China is a bad actor and should be opposed.
> You can always tweak law to make criminal out of anyone inconvenient.
And this would be immoral and if you are suggesting the US is doing this you would need to actually back that up.
> Wasn't Assange's consensual sex relegated to rape?
Even if it was, that is not an example of tweaking the law to make a criminal out of anyone inconvenient, it is a case of tweaking the truth to fit the definition of something which is a crime, and should be a crime.
> value-systems are only 'values' and a 'system' when they are well-defined and consistently applied.
I get what you are trying to say but definitely a value system requires neither of those things.
> So most of the planet will only buy thise elaborate line when Saudi Arabia and Pakistan get told to keep their riches.
There is hypocrisy but the threat posed by China to the liberal world order is much more serious than the thread posed by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and in both those cases there is a bit of a deal with the devil.
If the Saudi and Pakistani regimes fall we will probably see much worse things popping up.
> Many people in prison in the US did not commit crimes;
By all means cite %, and still does not make it a concentration camp.
Further the DAs are themselves elected locally in many jurisdictions or appointed by locally elected officials and people can vote for change if they want it.
> Every nation does this with their indigenous population.
And it is always wrong.
> Yet you don't seem to be outraged at the fact native americans are raped and murdered almost everyday in america.
Not under sanction of the state, and Non native americans are also raped and murdered almost every day in america. These things are crimes in USA regardless of the victim, where in China the state is sanctioning it and doing it.
A prison is not a concentration camp, US has a justice system with the right to trial and appeal, and if the people in prison actually committed crimes then I'm not sure what the problem is.
> I'm constantly seeing westerners whine about Chinese human rights violations while simultaneously ignoring the HR violations occurring everywhere else, especially in the west. American cops routinely kill people.
There has been protests for more than a month in the USA and the west because one black man was murdered by police. The police officer that murdered him will be charged and brought to justice.
There has been nowhere near this level of outrage against the actions of China, and nobody will bring the perpetrators there to justice.
To suggests that HR violations in the west is being ignored is laughable and dishonest and is evidence of your ulterior motives.
