Well, yeah, but this is a specific act of genocide. Can you imagine if all the headlines just said "Israel continues genocide" with absolutely no context? It's worth getting specific, even if the outlet still refuses to call it what it is.
It is if I print it on a sticker and slap it on my bong!
No, but this manosphere shit isn't new. It's been around since at least the "Men Going Their Own Way" movement in the late 90s and early 2000s, which me too and the Right's culture wars are a reaction to. So yeah, watch, like, ANY movie starring Michael Douglas, or basically any movie that involves a male/female relationship dynamic and you'll probably see a LOT of proto-manosphere stuff. (Pretty Woman?)
If we're extending the metaphor here, then no, things just LOOK better. Like how cgi is so cheap now that they can make stuff that looks like the avengers for the the budget of a(n) (inflation adjusted) episode of the X-Files. The budget is still in the tank, though. Make no mistake
Like basically every movie prior to the 2010s, yeah
More than one state can commit a genocide at the same time and they don't even have to be friends. Ignoring human rights violations because you overcorrected when you found out America was bad is a shitty position, and I advise that you reevaluate your values
Don't try to make this about ethical consumption. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Most Americans don't even KNOW about the Uyghurs in China. Literally any exposure this horrible situation is doing something.
I think I've just come to the conclusion that there is no way you're going to concede the point that the Chinese are committing atrocious human rights violations, are you?
What? Not buying Chinese products is somehow evil? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Regardless of what the article is advocating for, it's making a really crucial point about Uyghur slavery, which is fucking evil, and you're choosing to ignore it
It what ways? By literally opposing both the U.S. AND China and recognize both of their complicity in massive human rights violations? Why are you trying to whataboutism this?
You don't have to support any evil. You can choose to not support any of them. Why is it a dichotomy to you?
