Nowhere did the comment they replied to claim that the war in Gaza isn't a genocide.
- kubb 1y agoYou’re right, but if you admit that, it’s hard to claim that China is more brutal than the US, and therefore less trustworthy.

The author I responded to thinks China is worse in terms of genocides/killing people than the US. Therefore, the US is more "trustworthy". I gave examples countering that. The US has always dealt with Islam extremists with bombs and killings. China is doing it through education camps. No, the camps probably aren't pleasant. It's a hard problem that requires a hard solution. But to me, China's way seems way more humane. Viewed in another lens, perhaps China deserves a Nobel Peace prize for their camps instead of being labeled as a genocide.
