Stop watering down the meaning of genocide! Twice as many civilians have died in Gaza as in Ukraine, and there's no comparison at all between Gaza and Xinjiang province. More children have died in Gaza than the total number of civilians in Ukraine. Compare the numbers of journalists killed, aid workers killed, hospital staff killed, UN workers killed, there's no contest. Gaza is what genocide actually looks like, and it comes across as shallow and hypocritical to call hexbears fascist when you're the one that's going to vote for genocide.
I'm talking about the Uyghurs?
The Uyghurs are in Xinjiang province my dude. Your heart bleeds for them and you don't even know where they live. 🙄
Now, go compare how Uyghurs are being treated to how Palestinians are being treated. One is called a genocide, one isn't.
Of course a fucking tanky will downplay what's happening to the Uyghurs. I'm not here to compare atrocities. You can play your semantics game with genocide. Both shit is bad. Fuck Israel. Fuck China. Fuck Russia. Fuck anyone who defends them. Fuck tankies.
The people telling you that there's a genocide happening to the Uyghurs are the same people saying that Israel is not committing genocide against Palestinians.
They're lying to you.
Ah. You're completely off your rocker. Happy Holidays
