Usually in relation to Uighur camps, the argument is "since you're in America you can't change whether they're concentration camps or education facilities, so you should just concentrate on the concentration camps within your own borders instead."
Like, motherfucker, I can have an opinion on the actions in another country and still work on changing things I can change.
I guess my question is, is this concentrate on what you can change part of some theory or strategy I haven't read or is it just bad and lazy?
In particular for China it's essentially conceding to the people who thinks there are millions of Uighurs being murdered, rather than attempt to engage and show that there is no evidence of that, and just what abouting.
America is interesting, because while internationally, people don't have the ability to effect change there, decisions in America affect the international community. So, it's important to understand what is happening there.
I feel the same way about China, and in the Uighur issue specifically, the discussion is a reflection of American policy and propaganda, So I think important to stay on top of.
