      the organisation based the the UK considered it to be a genocide.

      There are like a dozen happening right now and it’s quite exhausting coming up with plans to help as many as I’m capable of helping.

        Personally I trust the UN report more since I think it has less of a bias than orgs in the US or UK. A lot of accusations of what would amount to genocidal seem to be more conjecture than anything. The UN report paints a picture of an antiterrorism campaign that used mass surveillance and mass detention to achieve its goals. It’s not great but it’s also not genocide.

        There are like a dozen happening right now and it’s quite exhausting coming up with plans to help as many as I’m capable of helping.

        I feel like this too sometimes. I try to remind myself that I’m just one person and it’s okay if I don’t make much of an impact.
