    Rather different from directly funding their war machine. And capitalism has never been a mechanism for expressing the moral desires of voters, has it?

      What is your actual argument, because it sounds like:

      “Nothing can be done so we shouldnt draw attention to it or even talk about it in Genocide related discussions.”

      Which, if I follow the leftist playbook, you are an advocate for genocide.

        1. that bringing up Uyghurs when discussing Gaza is whataboutism.
        2. it’s also not a reasonable comparison given that US (and western, generally) leverage and culpability are completely different.
