    How many comments have you made about what China is doing to the Uighurs?

      In addition to the other replies, there’s also quite a large difference between the actions of a foreign government doing something our current government already considers human rights abuse and the actions of a foreign government defended by our own, carried out with weapons manufactured and supplied by us, and where any criticism or protest of said support is categorized by nearly every politician as either antisemitism or tacit support of republican extremism. Both are genocide, but trying to protest the actions of the Chinese government as a US citizen in the US is pretty pointless, it’s better to focus efforts where it has a more direct impact. You don’t need to evenly split your attention between every single issue in order to be allowed to talk about any of them.

          Do you not know what an anarchist is? Its okay to admit it. Anarchists oppose authority and all unjust hierarchies.

          Every time I make a comment (very high bar you’ve set for determining my political activity level BTW /s) calling for the liberation of all oppressed peoples, I’m talking about Uighurs, Palestinians, Indigenous peoples, the working class, and anyone imprisoned or oppressed by hierarchical power structures.

          Go read a book.

      I align with what Twiddle is saying and as for me, plenty, across multiple platforms. Genocide is bad whether you choose to pay attention or not. Thank you for asking!
