At least 5. Arguably the Israel-Gaza situation, Russia- Ukraine, Sudan(also with Russian involvement), China's treatment of the Uyghurs, and Myanmar's treatment of the Rohingya.
Obviously, those screeching loudest about genocide X, are inevitably entirely quiet about genocide Y, while accusing country Z of hypocrisy. I haven't named any sides, but if anyone reads this comment and thinks I'm talking about them, perhaps it's time for some introspection.
Not that whataboutism is particularly relevant for those suffering. But hey, why would anyone let human suffering and nuance get in the way of some political point scoring, real politik or a nice online shouting match.
Meanwhile we walk ever closer towards the precipice of the climate apocalypse. If it's isn't already too late.
Tibet is still ongoing, it's just not done by sending them in camps but by sending Chinese to dilute the Tibetan population.
Following this logic China is guilty in quite a few places
Actual argument
As they attempt to remove Cantonese from spoken tongue
Nothing active yet but they got in hot water when they hosted the olympics for claiming Korean culture as their own
And when they claimed Ghengis Khan was Chinese because they currently own Southern Mongolia
That's on their own territory and I hope you're not talking about some conspiracy bullshit about replacing whites on the west coast of the US/Canada or whatever
Don't forget Modi and the muslims in India!!
If only more people were like me - lie on the sofa with laptop on belly eating ice ream.
No more genocide. Much more shitposting.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Only if you kill an entire race of people.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
I wish to unsubscribe now. I am not a big fan of the entire committing genocide of an entire race of people.
And that's not even the first time they did that.
Up to 2,000,000 people were killed during the Partition of India, the majority being Muslim.
Genuine question, wasn't the partition a ton of civilian Muslim and Hindu deaths? That's how it had always been presented to me, but I'm realizing my parents may have been biased.
It's always a first time, every time!
We all say “never again” but didn’t do shit for Tigray. There was no big sticky issue like China and the Uyghurs that would stop an intervention - as long as it’s safely not in the news
And also the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by Azeirbayan, which may or may not have a round 2 in the actual country of Armenia.
Amos Burton calling for the churn? Didn't have that on today's bingo card.
Let the nukes fly! Mutants will reign supreme!
ARMENIAN OBLAST IS FUCKING GONE
Absolutely. I went through a couple of revisions before settling on 2 based on being current and in the forefront.
