The frustrating part is how this works not just on westerns, but non-westerners too. Wasn’t that South African advocating for Palestine also throwing in China for Xinjiang?
It’s even more frustrating when people see what’s happening in Gaza and deny it’s genocide while claiming what’s going on in Xinjiang is.
South Africa is weird, you have extremes on both ends. You have people spouting the most insane pro capitalist, pro western and pro israel talking points. These are usually the wealthier people living somewhat comfortably.
But you also have a lot of people who deeply understand the need to resist western hegemony and neo liberalism.
The problem is also the desperate conditions that the majority live in. You're so utterly exhausted, mentally and physically, at the end of the day that you don't have energy to think about other things.
