    HRW/Amnesty

    Both of these are from the core, FYI.

    you can be against unethical things both the US and China does.

    I most certainly can. What I cannot do, is jack and fuckall about China's own domestic policies. What (most) of us here, particularly those in the US, can do, is "something" about the US's own human rights abuses vis-a-vis Gitmo, slave labor, police brutality, imperialism, war crimes, etc. The government is supposed to be accountable to its own citizens, is it not? So every second you waste worrying about China is a free second you give Pompeo et al to catch a breather while you get angry at the country you are powerless to do anything about.

        Both Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch have parroted every single lie against US state enemies.

        The reporting on human rights abuses by Israel are produced by independent journalists and activists in the Global South, which AI & HRW are forced to acknowledge. If they ignored Gaza, they would have no credible whatsoever.

        The reporting on "human rights abuses" by China are produced by institutions funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. NED is an institution described by its founder, Allen Weinstein, to "do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA."

        There are no independent journalists in the Global South that have verified the accusations against China. Every single nation in the Global South has rejected these imperialist lies. The map of countries which believed the AI & HRW's lies about "Kuwaiti incubators" is identical to the map of countries which believe the "Uighur genocide" lie.

        Parroting these lies makes you a useful idiot for the Empire. I don't understand why there is not a united Left voice opposing this already. It's absurd. You idiots learn nothing.

            also by activists in Israel and other places

            Yes. That's what I said. The only sources on the "Uighur genocide" are, at most, one degree of separation from the CIA. The genocide of Palestinians has decades of detailed reporting, and is acknowledged by every single institution in the world, besides the US & Israel.

            why would any country publish a report about human rights abuses about a country whose financial support they relied on?

            Ask all the Global South countries which condemned the Iraq War, while accepting US funding.

            You have an infant's understanding of the world. It's the same American consciousness which allows your ruling class to rape & pillage the world with no pushback. Your rulers only need to say "those shrewd Asiatics are as diabolical as us", and American Left will continue to cheer on the capitalist encirclement of Eurasia.

            "Neither Moscow Beijing or Washington" I scream, ignoring the reality of our world.
