    It’s funny bc anecdotally, it seemed like the Uyghur thing died down a good bit going into the pandemic and then sprang up again late into the Ukraine and Palestine situations. I see a small but present number of people trying to tie Ukraine, Palestinians, Uyghurs and sometimes other Chinese minorities into a one struggle kind of thing

      Which is hilarious because as they outline in this video, all the Uighur groups (CIA fronts) that cry foul about the supposed genocide in Xinjiang all came out very publicly as pro-Israel. As did Zelenskyy of course.

      It could not be more obvious where the line is. Any pro-Palestine supporter that is also pro-Ukraine or pro-East Turkestan separatism is just extremely gullible and ill informed, or their “support” of Palestine is tepid both sides Liberalism - something they must utter to be in good company and not looked at as a ghoul by anyone under 40.

        You know it sounds something like "I'm for a free Palestine as much as the next guy but let's not forget about the Ukraine kids and the Uighurs"

          At which point they should be told to shut the fuck up and stop commandeering a cause for their own preferred political gripes
