Leave aside for a moment the argument we might have about what is happening in China... What the fuck would I be able to do about that? Do I vote in China? Do my tax dollars fund their military?

so it's based entirely on convenience. that's even worse than being a racist.

your economic dollars do. the entire American economy is dependent on cheap Wyger labor.

how about pushing political leadership to apply pressure on China to stop enslaving Wygers? How about stop buying anything from China?

Your money, not tax money, but YOUR money enables China to continue to enslave Wygers.

when you go to the store, how about you look at where all your shit is made. I bet the technology you're using to spray your liquid shititlement everywhere online is even made by Wygers in China.

Can't lefties get their messaging straight? You guys are the "anti-establishment" crowd. the most organized anarchists! The best corpopinkos in the world!

I'll just keep calling them hypocrites though.

You have to keep the focus on China otherwise you have to face the indefensible American support of genocide. You ask me to seek influence over my own government who already rattles the saber at China, yet I can't even influence their very direct funding of Israel's genocide! Tell me how you imagine that would be done? Tell me how I might apply pressure on China in 1/1000 the amount I might apply on my own government.

and there we have it folks! lefties can't even fathom anything other than what fits their narrative. they realize the hypocrisy and immediately move the goal posts. just like another extremist faction we know!

You ask me to seek influence over my own government who already rattles the saber at China, yet I can't even influence their very direct funding of Israel's genocide!

so which is it? are you demanding your government to stop supporting genocide or are you powerless to stop your government from supporting genocide?

someone else said this, and I think it's very appropriate right now.

...I think you've opted in to accepting genocide. How can you accept such a thing? The absolute minimum you should demand of your party is that they oppose genocide. Otherwise, what is the fucking point?

who said that? 🤔 Oh! it was YOU!

Tell me how you imagine that would be done? Tell me how I might apply pressure on China in 1/1000 the amount I might apply on my own government.

IDK, lefties certainly did enough damage this election to cause Hitler's second coming to happen. I believe you'll figure something out to make the situation worse, for everybody. Because that's the leftist way.

Anyone can see through your long winded grandstanding. The shrill desperation oozes from your words.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

you can't even respond other than hurl personal insults, because you know leftism is filled with hypocrites and liars.

I think that desperation is coming from you, because I can do this all day.

boohoo

Um... Do you mean Uyghurs? Because maybe you shouldn't get so upset about others not caring about that genocide when you aren't even aware of what the people being genocided are called.
