My tradition? All those people are dead, and I'm pretty sure the Barbary pirates weren't European but still took slaves, as did most of Asia.

Judging historical events by today's standards is fucking stupid.
The CCP is literally enslaving and sterilising Uyghurs right now, cretin

The only thing that's fucking stupid here is pretending that the west isn't practising colonialism today and that your standard of living isn't subsidized by the people literally enslaved by western companies https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/12/mars-nestle-and-hershey-to-face-landmark-child-slavery-lawsuit-in-us
Yeah you keep on peddling debunked conspiracy theories there since that's all you've got to wok with. Weird how Uyghur population keeps growing. China can't even get genocide right apparently. Should probably learn from the brits how to do it right.
Yet more whataboutism, suprise
Fuck off and learn something instead of spamming my inbox Tankard

Love how you trolls always reach for whataboutism. How dare you hold countries to the same moral standard you say as you adorably stomp your little feets. Meanwhile, here's what an actual genocide looks like https://bylinetimes.com/2021/09/15/up-to-six-million-people-the-unrecorded-fatalities-of-the-war-on-terror/
Tankard, for the last time, two wrongs don't make a right
In the west we are free to protest, in CCP land or Russia, you are not. End of discussion.

Yes, the Tories passed stupid laws for votes.
When they get voted out, the laws can be repealed.
It's called a democracy, tankard
How do the people in authoritative one party countries change the laws? Dur?
yup, that's the kind of coping I'm here for
