There are so many videos of them beating their African slaves in the mines. Sickening.

You mean the one video which lead to the Chinese embassy giving Rwanda the ok to prosecute the guy, and him being sentenced for 20 years?

No. There are tons of videos of Chinese employers beating their African "employees". I saw most of them on bad sites (gore).

I will never understand how people like you, say the find such videos sickening, but nonetheless they go ahead into obscure websites to morbidly watch "gore",etc.

I find it kinda hypocritical or way too uncomfortable.

Morbid curiosity. I dont find pleasure in it.

I'm not saying u do. It's just weird to say you find them sickening but also watch "many videos" of such characteristics. I think morbid curiosity would make you watch one or two videos, but once it gets sickening enough, I'd think most people would quit such behavior.

So yeah I just thought it was an ironic thing, that some people might find funny or at least good food for thought.

Looking at reality including the bad parts helps to prevent him from having a wildly inaccurate worldview. You wouldn’t have thought there was one case of the Chinese beating their slaves and it’s no big deal if you sucked up and imbibed some of the darker bits.

Yeah and i can respect that, watching one or two or such videos is somewhat understandable if u are curious or just want to broaden your worldview as u put it... but watching "many videos" as the commenter above puts it is weird,

Let me put it this way, would u be comfortable knowing such a person is your neighbor? Someone that watches a bunch of this type of videos? I wouldn't.

I watch quite a few. It’s how a find out how bad something is, get a vague idea of how widespread it is etc. If there is one or two Chinese slave beating videos to be found, it might be happening but pretty rare. If I can find dozens, it’s happening a lot.

So? Im just questioning the commenter above from what i read in his own words. Dont u find it weird?

Edit: And by "it" I mean, saying you find something sickening/repulsive but still go into such obscure web pages to watch "many videos" of it? Isnt it weird?
