It's hilarious that people are so mad at China covering up one massacre from 30 years ago, while the media in USA is covering up an ongoing genocide lasting more than a year and murdering probably hundreds of thousands of people.

And yes, libs... Both are bad.

Both sides that enable or perpetuate genocide are bad yes.

You're seriously "not both sides"ing for genocide?

Fuck, you are a nasty person.

No, they’re simply pointing out a harsh reality many Americans refuse to face. But look at you, being all virtuous. lol

TIL "Murder is bad, and doesn't invalidate others doing it" is somehow a controversial opinion

Oh you're a dumb tankie
