    Saw someone from my school earlier who was pro-palestine post something about the Xinjiang Genocide on her instagram story. It was pretty much just an afterthought in a list of modern genocides (most of which I presume were real), but still.

    I hate the west for poisoning the youth.

      One battle won, one battle to win I guess

      We even have people like that in our party. As long as they can be right on a lot of thing then there is room for them to have the occasional wrong take. The Western propaganda machine is enormous after all, and we need to keep educating.

      In the Palestine group chat for the local Uni protest I once saw some person saying that they didn’t want to buy a keffiyeh made in China because of the Uyghurs.

      :( unfortunately the “uyghur genocide” narrative seems to be more ingrained into people’s minds because of how anti-china the west is and because there’s hardly any widely known accurate information about it
