Can we also be antagonistic against the Chinese genocide
It’s very popular to live in the United States, look across at Xinjiang, and say “a Christian Nationalist told me the Chinese Communists were butchering Tai Chi enthusiasts for their organs and now I think we need to build the God AI before they do.”
It’s comparatively unpopular to say “maybe what we did right across the border from Xinjiang, in Afghanistan, after 9/11 was wrong”.
Nevermind that the Chinese Genocide is defined as building schools in Xinjiang that teach Mandarin as the primary language. While using prepubescent boys as bribes for local warlords to get info to drone strike Muslims who objected to farming opium… that’s Operation Enduring Freedom.
Because reading your reply focuses again exclusively on one group
Yeah, why would I be more upset with my own country doing genocide on a global scale?
Why do I have a higher sensitivity to ICE agents doing a fucking drive by in my neighborhood less than a week ago, than I do to some right wing agitprop used to sell data centers?
Can we also be antagonistic against the Chinese genocide on the Uyghurs and a long list of other oppressive shit?
Can we also be antagonistic against the current theocraticregime in Iran?
Can we also be antagonistic against Russia for a host of shit, including genocide?
Because reading your reply focuses again exclusively on one group while being very suspiciously quiet about other groups
Just saying that the entire point of that writing was not to be a tankie holy crap do I see a lot of them here.
