To those that believe that they would not have turned a blind eye during WWII to the systematic extermination of Jews, the current generation has been given a similar challenge. Where is your cancel-culture now? How will our children think of us?

[takes a deep breath] China is cancelled!

Yeah, I'm realizing that it's all about geopolitics and power, not about cultural ideas.

Americans killed a million muslims and destroyed their homeland. China imprisoned a million muslims and put them in factories. Stop being so dramatic.

Tackling atrocities requires effort. Farming likes on twitter for being mildly offended is much easier.

Definitely bad and needs international attention.

China’s soft power will ensure that most countries won’t go beyond the usual virtue signaling.

Also keep in mind that the USA still has the most imprisoned people in the world by a large margin:

Some of us don't have much power. I denounced it online several times, that's all I can do.

People like Lebron James, who thinks of himself like a freedom fighter, when he criticized China he ended up saying he was misinformed and he wasn't educated about the issue.

He loves the money coming from China more than anything else. I want him to be reminded by this. He put his millions before human lives, just like some nazi collaborators did.
