I am with you to an extent. However, if you have a Country or culture, that embraces and enables cruel treatment of animals, bad environmental policy, poor human rights values, rape culture.... whatever it is, I really don't think you get anywhere by not addressing that it is a localized problem, and pointing out "It is this Country/Group/Religion" that is responsible for the majority of this problem.
If a certain amount of shame, or sanctions isn't cast over the group as a whole, then the good people within it, have no incentive to change the ones unwilling to change. I am 100% certain not every Chinese person embraces this, however, maybe those Chinese people that do not, will eventually say "This isn't right." and push for cultural change within their own borders, as opposed to it being the west picking on China.
And also I don't think lap top buddy understands the difference between 'made in the USA' and 'assembled in the USA.' He's delusional if he thinks even 20% of the parts in that thing were made in America. lol
