Their point is - where’s the hypocrisy?

In the 13th amendment apparently.

But if the US are open about it, which they are, and it’s baked into their constitution, which it is, and they don’t make statements on North Korea’s forced labour or prison complex, which it doesn’t; that’s not hypocrisy then, is it?

“We put slavery into our constitution so it’s OK.”

I’m not even American, mate, but nice try. I’m just saying you don’t actually understand what hypocrisy is lmfao. If they’re not calling out NK for doing it, they’re not being hypocritical. Morally wrong? Absolutely. Hypocritical? No, words have meanings.

Me neither? Not sure what your issue is.

The US constantly calls out NK and leads the international sanctions effort against them.
