Tbf china and north korea are not as bad as the media portrays them as
Prison camp = prison
Slave labour = prison labour
Both disproportionately imprison and kill minorities, but isn't that also what the US does
Given the rights prisoners have in many other countries, it might be better to say that things are just as bad in the US as the media paints other countries.
Because, uh, prison labour is pretty fucking awful, especially when considering that y'all gots them private prisons down there.
I'm Finnish, so I know the situation in the US is bad But yeah media likes to hide the country's problems in most countries
