      Including you? I assumed you were opposed to voting for genocide, but still believed it made sense to accuse China of genocide. Could you please explain where I was wrong?

        You assumed wrong.

        My position on the Uyghurs in China is “I don’t know for sure because the information space about this in the West is too poluted by propaganda”. That is neither a “Yes”, nor a “No”, it’s a “I’m not well informed enough to judge”.

        (It’s funny because I’m a member of a small Leftwing party in my own country and during voting in the National Conference was one of the few people who would actually Abstrain on some votes - rather than always Approve or Deny - because I avoid taking a stand if I feel I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion).

        Mind you, I would like a proper and impartial Human Rights Court investigation on this to clear all the bullshit flying around and IF it is a Genocide, for it to be stopped and the guilty parts punished.

          Okay, so then you aren’t an exception to the rule and the venn diagram I described before continues to have no overlap.

          If you’d allow me to clarify my point, I’m saying anyone who thinks China is committing genocide and is of voting age in the US and is commenting on political comments sections on the internet is going to vote for Israel to commit genocide. I don’t think this is a controversial assumption.
