      Does China have the US government by the nuts? Does China get F-35s and 2000lb bombs funded by my tax dollars for their genocide? Is China a shining example of western democracy and values in their part of the world? Is it possible to be upset about more than one genocide at a time?

        In the order of your questions:

        -Yes, they absolutely do.

        -Yes, not F-35’s specifically, but how much shit have you bought that was made in China over the last few years? We are absolutely funding them.

        -No, and neither is Israel.

        -Apparently not for you dumbasses.

          Rather different from directly funding their war machine. And capitalism has never been a mechanism for expressing the moral desires of voters, has it?

            What is your actual argument, because it sounds like:

            “Nothing can be done so we shouldnt draw attention to it or even talk about it in Genocide related discussions.”

            Which, if I follow the leftist playbook, you are an advocate for genocide.

              No. My argument is is twofold:

              1. that bringing up Uyghurs when discussing Gaza is whataboutism.
              2. it’s also not a reasonable comparison given that US (and western, generally) leverage and culpability are completely different.
