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.

    Not clear on what I said that you feel was a misrepresentation of anything

            You’ve demonstrated in several comments here that you aren’t worth my time. For this reason, I’m not reading this comment or any further ones by you today. I can see you care a lot about this, but I gave you several chances and you failed me every time, and I gave up when your idea of misrepresenting the facts was giving more weight to a firsthand account of what’s occurring in Xinjiang over one occurring somewhere else entirely (even if I believe that person is speaking truthfully, which I do). If you want to better understand my point of view, you can reread what I already said, but I don’t see a point in engaging any further for the time being.
