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
When you’ve boycotted the Uyghurs so you can buy all your goods from occupied Kashmir and the sweatshops of Indonesia and Bangledesh, you’re not buying ethically. You’re just buying into the propaganda.
it’s making a really crucial point about Uyghur slavery
Is it? Are we doing anything to raise wages, improve working conditions, or enforce ethical standards on imports at long last?
Or is this just an effort to whip liberal support for Trump tariffs?
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?
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

What do you think the sanctions of the Uyghurs was intended to accomplish? This was the explicit intent of the policy.
When I’ve seen what the NYT refuses to call genocide, I’m force towards skepticism when they finally do.

Listening to Jeffrey Dahmer try to both-sides cannibalism.
Towel the blood off your lips before you say that.
