It's facinating to see Lemmy go wild, kind of sad how many seem to support dictators with concentration camps and similar shit but also cool how many downvote them!
Is it the same though? Even if you have major disagreements with the treatment of uyghurs (the actual treatment, not the unsourced adrian zenz propaganda version), it's not the same as Palestine. I mean come on, look at the decades of apartheid rule and the world's largest open air prison (Gaza)
Or look at the US' own treatment of migrants, the deplorable conditions in detention and the arguably worse treatment when they are illegally deported pending their asylum hearing, etc.
Conflating china's overreaches/missteps with the US's decades long history of horrible treatment of the third world and even their own citizens is disgusting. You can criticise both without uncritically buying into propaganda, but everyone that is absolutely rabid about china always seems to be "well its bad but totally redeeemable" about the United States which is inarguably a worse force in the world, and far less popular at home too.

So, I follow the Texas Tribune, and we get a story or two every week about heat waves in Texas prisons killing another dozen people while the state legislature refuses to fund air condition to get temperatures under 90 degrees inside cells. We also get the periodic story about migrant detention camps on the border with agents caught doing human trafficking, physical and sexual abuse up to and including outright torture, and the horrific death of small children. Finally, there's the annual tradition of investigating Texas CPS or Texas Juvenile detention officials for a new raft of allegations involving agents trading nude pictures of children for narcotics or cash.
Every day a new horror in the Lone Star State, and we just kinda shrug and insist this is how a liberal democracy with a well-educated electorate and professional political institutions are supposed to behave.
Meanwhile, when Keonmi Park does another interview with Joe Rogan, we just eat that shit up with a spoon.
