I would say that culturally erasing a nation's foundational and ongoing genocide is a lot worse than even the liberal fantasy of "no one in China can talk about when a few thousand people died". I would even say that trying to draw an equivalency is a form of genocide denial.
I'm not denying anything bad happened here. It's bad to cause a genocide from either party. It's bad to for the US to have stolen land from the Native Americans, forcing them to relocate in shitty places, and systematically destroy their culture through isolation and cheap alcohol.
It's bad to force Uyghurs into "re education camps" to erase their culture and harvest their organs.
It's bad for the US to have squashed protests about the Vietnam War in front of the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.
It's bad for the CCP to have squashed calls for democracy and freedom of speech in Tiananmen Square.
It's almost like people in power do shitty things regardless of the type of government.
Oh god not this crap. Hexbear is generally pretty reactionary when it comes to China, but this too much even for me... no sources cited in that first one, nice.
