I haven't seen too many Great Takes on Xinjiang on reddit or pretty much anywhere esle for a while. News seems to be done with it too. Amazing how that happened as soon as U.S. focus shifted to Taiwan.

    invoking the memory of the holocaust to spread propaganda about a fake genocide, all to promote the interests of American capitalists, is extremely antisemitic

    They don't care, they've been doing this constantly for a long time. Look up "double genocide theory", it's a favorite of eastern European ultranationalists. Jewish groups have criticized it as a form of Holocaust denial, liberals don't care.

      I'm trying to improve my day, so I won't be looking up double genocide theory. I assume it's some insane shit about how destroying antisemites was actually bad because it was done earnestly instead of symbolically.

        Basically, it's (copied from Wikipedia) "the idea that two genocides of equal severity occurred in Eastern Europe, that of the Holocaust against Jews perpetrated by the Nazis and a second genocide that the Soviet Union committed against the local population".
