The Great Cannon has been deployed again

If you can’t distinguish between the Vietnamese War and the Axis Concentration Camps on a scale of atrocity, I’m doubtful there’s any intellectual exercise that’s going to clarify that for you.

Absolutely, there's no intellectual process to get there. [0] Rather it requires a lifelong immersion in "news" media committed to minimizing USA war crimes, coupled with an aggressively jingoistic ignorance of history.

[0] that is, one brutally murdered innocent child of innocent parents is not really different than some other brutally murdered innocent child of innocent parents.

I'm not comparing the Vietnam war to the Holocaust.

I'm comparing our oil grab under various guises, vs Chinas attempts at unification.

When both are causing murder, why is oil better than submission?

Calling the interning of over 1 million people an attempt at unification is blatant astroturfing and is wildly and viciously wrong.

I believe OPs reference to the Uighurs was to their placement in concentration camps. Calling that an “attempt at unification” is generous at best.
