agreed. people forget the insane number of Uyghur fighters who volunteered for isis. the real question for leftists is how we choose to respond.
my take away on this nation-wide struggle session is that literally not a single western nation has the legitimacy to act as a defender of the islamic faith. US based liberals currently see the DOD and their intelligence agencies as fighters of humanitarianism. the Iraq war and all the brutal sanctions that came before it were merely a bump in the road for them.
a part of the reason why this is such an effective tactic is liberals seem to have their trust in the war ministries restored after 5 years of russian concpiracy theories. today they once again think they're a force for good.
all this shit is gonna result in is a cold war.
China is not the enemy is all that I can say. They are a nation that is in the process of figuring it out whereas the western world is in the thick of an ideology that became redundant two centuries ago.
actually it's cynical & not reflective of the facts on the ground to compare Black America's plight with that of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. I would really say it's the exact opposite
Uyghurs have always had autonomy & legally recognized protected status & statehood in PRC, something Black Americans still yearn for in their country
Black Americans in certain poor & deindustrialized areas do not have any such prospects, whereas Uyghurs voluntarily join these vocational training centres & are given uplift and are integrated into the economy & society

Black people in many areas in the US actually face far worse demonstrable discrimination & violence by the state than any Uyghur
