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
lmao i was curious what the Aus Citizen Party was, how the FUCK are there LaRouchites in Australia. look at our western left internationalism bro we are so cooked
doubt it would influence the content of the video much but it's hilarious
Fuck it I don’t care anymore. Anyone willing to be on our side of the unipolar/multipolar divide is fine. I’m done parsing their ideological brainworms. If they will lock in on our side then good. The Soviets had to make a lot of cringe alliances with racists like Churchill and FDR to win their war, I expect this one to be much the same.
What Palestine is showing is that you can't hide a genocide in an era where everyone has a camera in their pocket (to say nothing of spy satellites that can read a license plate). This was always the simplest argument against the Uyghur genocide narrative, but it's never been easier to drive home.
I just saw a headline today about the widespread use of Xinjiang sourced cotton despite the genocide sanctions. So, I would say that the fake genocide is far from dead.
