If China was doing Israel shit, it would be the only thing that was ever on the news.

Damn that’s crazy, Chinese settlers have been burning, shooting and killing with the backing of the army?
This shit is borderline Palestinian genocide denial dude
The Confederates continue to claim sole ownership over all the territory of America, plus some of Canada for good measure. In taverns and coffee shops from Barcelona to Berlin, any mention of the USA is likely to be met with a self-satisfied “You mean West Puerto Rico?😏”
It’s not about if an ideology uses authority to entrench itself. Every state and organization with any power in the world does that. It’s about who wields that authority against who, and for what purpose. We generally consider Hitler and Mussolini to be exceptionally “authoritarian”, but in reality the only thing exceptional about them was that they directed that authority inward instead of just outward, the latter of which we in the west are all more accustomed to. They took the full-spectrum colonial violence typically reserved for non-white people outside their borders, and directed it also towards white people within their borders. This (and only this) is what we have been taught to view as an unacceptable aberration.
TLDR Authority itself is not “good” or “evil”. Authority is just a weapon like any other, and what makes it heroic or repugnant is who wields it against who.
For the liberals, a metaphor:
It’s the end of the American Civil War. The Southern lines have collapsed, the Union is surging. Robert E Lee and the remaining confederates, rather than surrender, decide to retreat to the island of Puerto Rico. The US Army moves to pursue them, but Spain sends an armada to point it’s guns at Florida.
Once ensconced on Puerto Rico, the slavers initiate a brutal anti-abolitionist crackdown that sees them murder tens of thousands of people. Then they proceed to implement four decades of martial law and throw at least 140,000 people into concentration camps on suspicion of being “yankee sympathizers”. Thousands more are disappeared into the jungle by the Dixie death squads.
Meanwhile, Spain floods Europe with propaganda about the noble freedom fighters of Puerto Rico and their valiant struggle against Northern Aggression. To this day, the face of Robert E “Memphis Massacre” Lee is stamped on the money.
Four decades of martial law and mass murder is cool as long as the people doing it say they’re fighting the communists😊
I refuse to forget the “orcs” shit

The way liberals flip out when you don’t agree that the DPRK is literally Mordor is exactly how conservatives react when you defend any other country that the US attacks. “Oh yeah, i bet it’s a real heavenly paradise with no problems! Why don’t you move there if you love it so much?! Why don’t you go there if it’s sooo perfect?! Kiss them on the lips and marry them maybe? Fuckin stupid traitor.”
Just instant ridiculous maximalism, like a 12 year old who gets called out for being wrong about something and responds with “Oh yeah and you’re never wrong ever, right?!” No ability or willingness to engage with what’s actually being said, just an instant defensive jingoist freakout.
Liberals be like “every building in the country plus millions of Koreans had it coming, btw i support Ukraine and Palestine”
Inb4 “tWo ThInGs CaN bE bad At OnCe” from someone comparing something real the empire is doing with a story that same empire told them about someone else.
That’s a lot of words for “I’m a nazi and I swear I’m not mad”
-Statements from a person trying to cope by pretending it’s the same
I have seen far too many dead Palestinians and zero dead Uyghurs
Dear “we have to wave American flags and (in some cases) exclude all other flags so they can’t label us as unamerican” people: this is the reward that strategy yields. The Making Shit Up Brigade is going to continue making shit up no matter how hard you try to placate their nationalism.
“Clearly there’s only one solution to this, we gotta get more racist”
“Shooting back at the nazis makes you just as bad as them!”
Ukraine and Nazi Germany are wildly different.
“…for reasons that I cannot or will not elaborate on, but which are nonetheless self-evident”
So basically your argument is “nuh-uh”.
America had a black president, we’re still doing a fucking genocide dude. Hell, there were Jewish Holocaust participants. Stop grasping at straws and look at the obvious reality in front of your face.
Lol my former friend tried to do that shit but she had clearly only seen the name written, so she said “ooigwyres”
