        Interestingly I can no longer see my own comment that you replied to when I click the link for it, though I can see it when I open a private window to it. That’s pretty weird. I checked the modlog and nothing…

        Wow this is the most inane whataboutism. I don’t think China is massively murdering muslims and blowing up their homes like the zios. But both are bad.

          Not blowing up homes, because that would make no sense as it is in china, and it’s not a land grab.

          The Uyghurs are Muslim. Pay attention
