There are 2 genocides actively occurring (or at least in the forefront).
Western media does not shy away from calling one a genocide (as they should), but refuses to call the other one a genocide.

There are a lot more than two, tbh.
Yes, hence the caveat of being in the forefront.

Why are tankies so fucking stupid?
You can be a Marxist-Leninist and not support the cultural genocide of the Uyghurs.
Yep. A Tankie is someone who claims to be leftist but then defends all actions by governments and countries who claim to be leftist too.

"You cant be a marxist and support genocide" is a better way to put it
The part I like is that nobody making noise about it actually cares about the Uyghurs. If they lived in anywhere other than China there would be calls to bomb them for being Muslims
True. They were dealing with Muslim fundamentalism. You can only improve the material conditions of a cult so much. Their methods should be criticized, but thinking capitalist countries would act differently is foolish. Just look at Gaza. What naysayers want to do is expose the hypocrisy, which is fair, without offering any solutions.

Because it makes unfairness in the world easier to tolerate if you have a fantasized perfect solution to the problems, same as religions and other political extremes.

Critical thinking is punishable by public execution or something probably. Inb4 they blame liberals for taking all the good concepts.

It's a unique tragedy of the human animal that how we label an atrocity is central to the question of what to do about it.
An alien might very well assume that humans worship words because some of them are symbols of real power to eclipse any icon, fetish, or talisman.
Has any holy book ever inspired the devotion that the dictionary enjoys? What is a Supreme Court judge other than a robed literary priest endowed with the power to declare what words mean?

Black's Law Dictionary even looks like a bible!
I wish the west would have the balls to call Israel out too. But eh, one genocide at a time I guess. Fuck China

Dont let the Tankies see this meme
Lemmy.ml up in here already.
Now do Israel
I don't feel the need to crowd the space. I think a lot of other people are doing a bang-up job, there.
Fair enough, every genocide deserves being called out
Skinner is like the flatearthers... "its a conspiracy among ~several million people and several nations, they're just very good at keeping the facts to themselves"
