    I appreciate the well read, as you appear to be, but there’s such a thing as overthinking it.
    OP’s post is bringing attention to one genocide. I sarcastically drew attention to additional genocidal empires.
    It’s not even “whataboutism”. It’s “you are picking and choosing and should be called out for it”.

      I disagree with that read. I think “Uyghur genocide” is just a token to prompt a response, I don’t think there’s any subtext to it. Your sarcasm made me think you’re campist and those are actually questions I’m curious about. (Your answers would be appreciated, but also just any campist).

      For the record, I’m American and am also angry and ashamed of my own country’s imperialist atrocities.
