The US' influence over the anglosphere is irrelevant to the topic we are discussing.
"Muslim countries are ok with Muslims being genocided."
I didn't make such a claim. I'm talking about the incentives created for how leaders of Muslim countries vote at the UN in order to protect their own country's economic welfare and perhaps their own political careers as well.
So what I'm getting at is you can't take as evidence the way these Muslim countries present themselves to the world insofar as this particular geopolitical question is concerned because the incentives likely force them into the pro-CCP position irrespective of what the truth is. Expensive moral righteousness is only easy if you're rich.
- yhoneycomb 6y agoHow is it irrelevant? It's hugely relevant. The ranking system is basically "anglosphere good, others BAD"
- hntrader 6y agoIt's whataboutism. Irrelevant to the question of whether Muslim countries are economically pressured to conform to the CCP narrative on this particular geopolitical question.
