Maybe crackers should have thought about that before killing, raping, looting, and enslaving their way across the entire globe for the last half millennium.
but
Singapore is part of the imperial core, a capitalist country with limited freedom of speech and assembly.
Indonesia is also a capitalist country which, with Australia's help mind you, performed an invasion and genocide of neighboring East Timor to destroy their socialist government.
These countries are part of the same world order established by the killing, raping, looting, and enslaving you mentioned, which in fact, they continue to help perpetuate because they inherited colonial patterns of political economy, subservient to the global elite of white nationalist colonialism.
We shouldn't celebrate their cruel form of "justice" because it is antithetical to the preservation and enabling of human flourishing. They are corrupt, fascist monsters to be destroyed.
Waaaahhhhhhh white people can't face consequences for their actions unless a government of the exact form I like is dishing out those consequences.
"PEOPLE NEED TO BE BEATEN AND KILLED FOR PETTY CRIME OTHERWISE THE IRREDEEMABLE HUMAN SOUL WILL FALL TO EVIL!!!!"
Right wing christian brainworms. When it comes to meting out violence, how can you trust governments with the most cruel ideology to be fair and just?
Recognizing that anglo disgust at other countries retributive notions of justice only extends to white anglos and ridiculing it is not the same thing as celebrating that system of justice.

Thats not the context I got, OP's post is ridiculing some white libshit for fucking around and finding out in DPRK (based), not about asymmetry of disgust based on whiteness.
To this, the other anon responded that its "funny" how some kid got beaten by Singapore and Australians get killed in Bali for drugs, to the dismay of their respective governments. Singapore isn't doing "self defense" when they cane teenagers for doing dumb shit.
I agree though, they only get disgusted when its a white citizen and/or when the country is their geopolitical enemy. Saudi Arabia beheads people for being gay and none of the western elite give a shit. I apologize if this is what anon meant originally, its just that I hate the Singaporean, Malaysian, and Indonesian governments to hell and back for their bullshit.
If the US police beat the shit out of some proud boys or neo Nazis, I can approve of that specific incident without approving of either the US or their cops in general.
Bad systems and bad laws can still sometimes do good things.

Beating whitey is always a good thing.
