I’m not very informed on modern China and there’s a ton of sources accusing China of killing and even harvesting organs from Uyghurs and Falun Gong believers.

Is there any truth to those claims or is it all pigpoop ?

    Well to be clear: my argument isn’t really “Uighur genocide bad but Westen genocide worse”.

    My argument is: “Uighur genocide is bad if true…but if true ultimately I don’t live in China and I’m not a Chinese citizen. I am an American citizen living in America…so I should probably prioritize discussion/action regarding the Genocide my own government is an active participant in.”

      Yeah the argument here (and it’s a good one) is:

      1. Assuming it’s true, comparing it to Palestine shows we don’t have a leg to stand on.
      2. But of course it isn’t true.
