I hate when libs cry about a genocide when one happens even closer to them and they have political potential to do something about it but they dont.
It’s like, you have a heart, dont you? You have no influence on China’s policies, whether or not it’s real. But the ones perpetrated by your own governments, that you make a big deal in voting in representatives for? Crickets. What makes these different? What makes THESE lives so important that you want to destabilize the country over it, but THOSE lives you barely acknowledge the horrific loses and brutal ways in which their lives were snuffed out by means with your country’s name is painted somewhere on it’s side? You have an equal chance to have ever met either these people.
I hope they can never escape the sin of the world they support. For every family that didnt make it across the border, for every life lost in the sea trying to reach shore. Curse you to learn every single name of every single person who did everything they could to reach safety, but you got in the way of it.
Seriously! What about Yemen? What about Yemen? What about fucking Yemen? Even if China really did bulldoze ten thousand people, why is this such a fixation when the US and Saudi were very deliberately attacking vital civilian infrastructure in order to kill as many civilians as possible in what fits every definition of genocide? It only ended, what, this year? Last year? WHAT ABOUT YEMEN? WHY DON'T ANY OF THESE FUCKING FREAKS KNOW OR CARE ABOUT YEMEN? God it's so frightening.
It's fucking me up. Like the same way people refusing to take the pandemic seriously fucked me up. It's something important and so simple and i just couldn't make anyone care. God they killed all those people.
Some of the most dogmatic dickheads I've encountered, the really sanctimonious ones, will say something like, Oh yeah, I condemn them both, two wrongs don't make a right, etc
I have so much trouble accepting how they do that. They obsess about the righteousness of their cause and scream at anyone who question's their government's narrative while their government is doing what they believe the enemy is doing. And there's no hemming and hawing and abusing the definition of genocide with yemen. They were deliberately blockading food shipments and killing clean water processing to spread cholera to cause mass civilian death.
But the libs never talk about it. There's no calling Biden or Obama madmen for their crimes. It's pure team sports. I don't understand it and I'm glad I don't understand it.
This is what I always say, we're being played for fools spending so much time talking about whether or not there's a genocide in Xinjiang, which, if true, we'd have absolutely nothing we could do to help, meanwhile Black, Indigenous, and queer folk in the US are being brutalized. The reason it frustrates me is twofold, one because of the point you bring up, that we have no influence on their policies regardless of if it's real or not; but to me the second point which is just as important, there is no Western Imperialist country with less blood in their hands than China, literally every single Imperial core country has orders of magnitude more deaths than even the wildest imagination of anticommunists could accuse China of having. So what's the deal? It's just projection.
this is the one that gets me every time. they've all forgotten what's happening on our borders, they've never heard of Yemen, and they've thrown Palestine completely under the bus.
It's just so frightening. How can they be like this? Just this religious obsession with a massacre that didn't happen thirty years ago, while completely indifferent to real horrors being perpetrated by their own government right now? What is WRONG with them?
Their "humane concerns" will be just another fodder used which to terrorize, oppress and exploit other countries. Having a struggle session about how western leftists shouldn't support china/Russia does nothing, we can only influence our governments by ADDING to the propaganda by giving libs "reasonable" points AGAINST russia/china, which is why the inherent stance by every western leftist should be indifference or critical support.

Because the news didn't portray it like that

People will rather just not think about stuff and if the man on the TV says things are fine, they are very inclined to go along with him

What about Yemen? China brokered a peace between Saudi and Iran which brought a ceasefire is what...

I think it’s worse than that, this primes them to even cheapen the horrific concept of a genocide.

Whichever
