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.

      Eh. He’s a writer, lots of writers go to China to teach English, I’m not looking to kink shame the guy. Just thought what he said was interesting.

          All I did was share the guys comment. He seems credible to me and nothing youve scrutinized him over suggests otherwise, personally, but I recognize your rationale in disagreement.

                  Your concern was that they weren’t here to be probed, so I told you that you can do what I did and talk to them directly. I take them posting on /cth/ as a sign of credibility, personally, but you’re welcome to disagree
