Yep, and the worst part is that it's proving that as long as you do a genocide slowly, and through systems like cultural erasure, forced abortions of Uyghurs, and 'reeducation' camps rather than straight deathcamps, world governments won't put any real effort into stopping it.

Imperialists like America don't like China's imperialism, but not because they're opposed to Imperialism, only because it threatens their own hegemony.

Meanwhile, anti-colonialists who should know better, like Mbembe, fall for China's positioning of themselves as a counter to Imperialism simply because they're opposing American and European hegemony with their own hegemony.

Systems of authority suck, all the way down...

Allied forces didn't give a shit about death camps until after they invaded Germany and discovered them.

Oh look, and just yesterday I was arguing with a Tankie who insisted that Tibetans living in Tibet actually love China.

My team invades a country: "We bring them freedom!"

Other team invades a country: "Stop imperialist-colonialist occupation now!"
