They really only pissed off because China is playing a different game (the game we originally stomped them at) and kicking our asses in the process.

1. China is not playing the game the US originally did and still is: settler-colonialism¹, slavery², and imperialism³.
2. The US didn’t “stomp” China, the UK did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation

A ten year plan by an enduring stable government vs biennial rotating RepubliDem shamlections that maintain bourgeois state control.

Andrew has cracked the case… with ᴍᴀᴛʜ. /s

I actually agree that Americans don’t understand solidarity, because they’re soaked in neoliberal, individualistic ideology. But even if they did understand, they’re so lacking in class consciousness that they wouldn’t know what to rally around.

I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean.

This is peak BlueAnon/Marvel Cinematic Delusion, where Putin is a supervillain with a global mind control network.

I don’t think Europe’s naked hypocrisy w/r/t Gaza really factors in to Europe’s table vs. menu status.

Trump is going to speedrun all our vassals allies into joining BRICS, and I’m here for it.

(a) Show me the Uyghur bodies

(b) Show me the serious bodily or mental harm

(c) Show me the conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part

(d) Show me the measures intended to prevent births within the group

In accordance with China’s affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.

(e) Show me the forcible transfer of children from one group to another group

All you have are a couple of photos of prisons, which proves nothing, and some garbage testimonies that we’ve debunked a thousand fucking times already.

If the terrorism that the CIA-backed religious extremists brought down on Xinjiang happened in America, the US government would have come down on them a thousand times worse than how China handled them. This is obvious by simply looking at how the US handled 9/11, or by looking at US incarceration rates compared to China, or any other country in the world for that matter.

This was a failed attempt by the US government to balkanize/peel off Western China, and now the US is trying to make lemonade out of their lemon by accusing China of genocide.

No one seems to be interested in your Council on Foreign Relations hasbara.

I wouldn’t recommend wording things this loosely in lib-tolerant spaces.

Europe is too racist to quit NATO, so instead of belts & roads and cheap fuel, they’re going to get American-style healthcare.

I see, you’re speaking of genocide only in strictly a legal terms, as if that is the only meaning of the term “genocide.” Got it, Slippin’ Jimmy.

This is precisely why the US’s rhetoric is the way it is, because if they were honest about their mens rea then they would be legally complicit. The US pretends to be naïve to provide legal & rhetorical cover for itself.

Whether you are naïve, or only pretending to be, is an exercise for the reader.

“I took the White House’s rhetoric at its word and found it to be naïve, and therefore the United States is not complicit in genocide.”

Are you still removing comments refuting Western disinformation about Xinjiang for being “genocide denial”?

It’s never to late to develop real media literacy or to understand how the US incessantly prosecutes regime change operations globally, but I’m not holding my breath.

The Independent last month: Uyghurs among foreign militants given ranks in Syrian military

Are these CIA trained & armed “moderate rebels” going to travel back to “East Turkistan” and terrorize the region again?

Because 1) they’re losing territory more quickly now than ever, 2) they’re running out of people to kidnap off the streets and shove to the front lines, and 3) the US is about to leave them holding the bag[1][2]. Russia is the largest country in the world by a long shot and over 6,000 miles deep. All Ukraine can do is make pockmarks on its western edges.

Kit Klarenberg: It’s Official: US Abandoning Ukraine

On January 19th, TIME magazine published an astonishing article, amply confirming what dissident, anti-war academics, activists, journalists and researchers have argued for a decade. The US always intended to abandon Ukraine after setting up the country for proxy war with Russia, and never had any desire or intention to assist Kiev in defeating Moscow in the conflict, let alone achieving its maximalist aims of regaining Crimea and restoring the country’s 1991 borders. To have a major mainstream outlet finally corroborate this indubitable reality is a seismic development.

The TIME article’s brief first paragraph alone is rife with explosive revelations. It notes when the proxy war erupted in February 2022, then-President Joe Biden “set three objectives for the US response” - and “Ukraine’s victory was never among them.” Moreover, the phrase oft-repeated by White House apparatchiks, that Washington would support Kiev “for as long as it takes”, was never meant to be taken literally. Instead, it was just “intentionally vague” newspeak, with no implied timeframe or even desired outcome in mind.

Markedly, Zelensky was not invited to Trump’s inauguration. In a January 6th interview with Newsweek, the Ukrainian President - typically never one to shy away from international jollies - said he was unable to attend, as it wasn’t “proper” to do so “during the war”. Amusingly, Trump’s son Donald Jr. has rubbished Zelensky’s narrative, claiming he - “a weirdo” - had specifically “asked for an invite” on three occasions, “and each time got turned down.”

Are you saying that this corruption charge is disingenuous

I have no idea how genuine this particular corruption charge is, but given how rife with corruption the country is, I’m inclined to believe it.

My point is that I think patsies are now being chosen to take the fall in lieu of the most powerful oligarchs and government functionaries, who are also corrupt.

Otherwise it sounds like you’re parroting known disinformation.

What disinformation does it sound like I’m parroting?
