    I couldn’t give less of a poo about influencers making money on TikTok.

    My media is inundated with genocidal zionist propaganda completely supported by the state.

      What is the difference between Israel and China to make it morally right for you to support one genocidal regime and not the other?

        Seems like they don’t care about tiktok at all Idk if I’d call that support. Also, I can’t speak for him here but none of my tax dollars go to the Chinese government while more of my tax dollars go to isreal than local schools. So if hes from a country aiding Isreal like me he has an obligation to say something about it or else be complicit is his labor buying weapons for genocide. Its the same reason US protestors focused on Biden instead of Netenyahu when this stated. We don’t get to vote for or against Bibi, but Biden, we do, or at this point ‘did’

          China has more trade ties to the US than Israel does.

          I see no calls to stop investing in Chinese companies, or buying Chinese products because of the Genocide happening within their borders.

          Also, I can’t speak for him here but none of my tax dollars go to the Chinese government

          “With data provided by the Congressional Research Service, Senator Ernst and Open the Books determined more than $490 million from U.S. grants and contracts were paid to organizations in China since 2017 and another $870 million were paid to entities in Russia.”

          Seems America just loves supporting Genocidal regimes with tax money, and Americans love pretending it doesn’t end up there.

          So if hes from a country aiding Isreal like me he has an obligation to say something about it or else be complicit is his labor buying weapons for genocide. Its the same reason US protestors focused on Biden instead of Netenyahu when this stated. We don’t get to vote for or against Bibi, but Biden, we do.

          It is morally okay to support, or completely ignore, countries like China according to you and the person I originally responded to.

          Can you elaborate on why that is without making false claims about tax dollars?

            Big false equivelency. Tax money going to some unnamed ‘organizations in’ certian countries is incomparable to money and weapons going directly to the government of a country conducting genocide with those weapons. Its honestly funny you’d think giving random unnamed organizations money is the same as arming a military conducting genocide. Also just because you dont see something doesnt mean its not happent, there are tons of laws both US and international being passed to curb forced labor. Articles get posted here all the time when new companies end up on the sanction list. Pretending they don’t doesn’t make your arguement better.

              Your claim was “No tax dollars!”.

              I proved you wrong immediately.

              Justify your support of one genocide and condemnation of the other all you want, but you will be continuing the conversation by yourself.

                My claim was my tax dollars dont go to the chinese government, you showed they indeed don’t go to the chinese government. Nice try twisting the premises though, but my original comment is right there, you can chek it any time.
