Looking at the comment replies to any Jeremy Corbyn tweet (even ones on non-spicy topics) is always a good reminder of the futility of reformism. The Bourgeois state can and will utilize the most effective propaganda apparatus in history to warp people’s minds in real-time to their own aims. Like here where this dipshit thinks a flimsy accusation thrown at China over Uyghurs is somehow worse than the very-real pogrom with a mountain of recorded evidence coming in as we speak.

You mean Pro-Bri*ish Unionists in Ulster using it as a “gotcha” against the IRA weren’t doing so in good faith?

There is countless footage of Palestinian civilians being shot and killed in broad daylight. There is nothing about the Uyghurs except one lunatic’s deranged ramblings about his god-given mission to end China.

Best part was when the UN commissioner went to Xinjiang, found no evidence of a “genocide” and ofc libs only took that as further proof of the see see pee’s cruel oppression of the truth. QAnon hours.

That footage is anti-Semitism.

worst abuses

no one had even heard of Uyghurs 5 years ago but Palestinians have been encroached on for almost 80 years.

That’s because Chyyyna is a super dystopia panopticon security state that can prevent any of the mass refugee migrations associated with genocide along a long desert border with several countries, but at the same time can be exposed by some grainy security footage of a prisoner transfer and satellite photograph of a middle school.

westerners expect Uyghurs to take up RPGs and rebel against the Chinese government, but think those same rebels will sit around while Israel explode their apartments?
