    Curious about the atrocities supposedly committed by the European Union…which isn’t an empire.

    Or Ukraine…which isn’t an empire.

    And if you’re including Australia which was part of the British Empire, why isn’t India/Pakistan/NZ/Canada/Ireland/Jamaica etc etc there?

          Liberals will levy spurious accusations of awful things at socialist countries while ignoring atrocities of US aligned countries whose atrocities are both real and orders of magnitude worse than even the accusations.

            Cool… trying to compare China and its atrocities against the Uighur Muslims with Ukraine or the European Union makes your point an absolute joke though.

              No that’s quite literally the current example happening right now. You are the person the meme is depicting. You are acting it out word for word like a reflection in a different medium.

              Xinjiang is literally well built up and their language protected, Ukrainian militias on the other hand were indiscriminately shelling Russian speaking areas like Donbas and murdering people, with the government allowing them and trying to stop the Russian language from being taught and existing in Russian speaking locales; the people of Donbas before being liberated by Russia (they actually celebrate Russians as liberators) would’ve easily traded their fate with the Uighurs of Xinjiang while the Uighurs absolutely would not, which should tell you enough about both regions.
