States rarely care about anyone. But this meme is diminishing the genocide in Gaza by saying "look what those other guys did". I believe the internet word for this kind of propaganda is "whataboutism".

So why don't you go here:

and tell them they're diminishing the genocide in Xinjiang?

Oh right, because you don't actually care about genocide you're just upset that China and Russia are getting dunked on.

I am happy for you. The great mind reader. The world must so much easier for you. But if you already knew all this, why even post the meme?

The reason I even care is because you try to excuse a crime against humanity happening in front of me.
