    I don’t care about educating American reactionaries either. Notice I didn’t say “to educate reactionaries” or even “to educate Americans”

    But you see firsthand how even in a forum full of communists how incredibly successful this statement is at distracting from the main point. You’ve observed this yourself. So you must see where I’m coming from.

    Juxtaposing the West’s allegations about Uyghurs with their past and present treatment of indigenous peoples is honestly a powerful way of exposing the contradictions in these states, and showing people that the media and government of these countries are clearly not on the side of oppressed peoples, so these allegations do not come from a place of concern, so they must come from some other motive. This approach has been very effective so far, so I want it to be emphasized as much as possible.
