I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break.
Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].

solo@slrpnk.netto World News@beehaw.org•The global outrage machine skips the Uyghurs: China grandstands about Gaza while repressing a Muslim community within its own borders, but hardly anyone seems to noticeEnglish12·4 months agothe author is suggesting that there are two different policies
The author describes the israeli apartheid in a deceitful way, which is very different to what you say. This is not an article that wants to draw attention to the Uyghur. It just tries to deflect the conversation from the Palestinian Genocide to something else.
Please see an article by Amnesty International from 2022, meaning before the current Genocide: Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: a cruel system of domination and a crime against humanity
A few more of the plenty deceitful aspects in this article are bellow:
The United States has tried to pressure China’s leadership to end the Uyghurs’ mistreatment—for instance, by barring companies from importing products that originate in Xinjiang into the U.S.
Talking about these imports is one thing. Why not also talk about the US arm exports that kills Palestinian civilians? Regardless of the Leahy Law.
Israel was formed by Jews
No, it was created by Zionists, not Jews. These two words are not interchangeable. There are many Jews who oppose Zionism (please see Jewish Voice for Peace)
Israel, from this viewpoint, is an outgrowth of European colonialism; it represses and displaces a local people,
There is a word for these people: Palestinians.
Also, represses and displaces a local people? If past tense was used, this sentence would have some merit. Since it uses present tense, I can only say: this is not how I would describe a Genocide.

Also, from the posted article:
The Israelis keep the Palestinians something of a people apart
Is this how we describe apartheid now?
solo@slrpnk.netOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Sockpuppet network impersonating Americans and Canadians amplifies pro-Israel narratives on XEnglish2·6 months agoUnfortunately, these are just articles that claim stuff, they do not include any actual and/or current researches. This is why they use terms like “trusted source”, or urge the reader to worry about something, instead of providing evidence and let the reader decide how to feel about these findings.
Also, they come from the mouthpieces that Zionist propaganda uses. Remember the debunked beheaded babies claims, or the weaponization of sexual violence claims, or the human shield claims - to name just a few that were covered by these media.
Still, thank you for taking the time.

solo@slrpnk.netOPto Videos@lemmy.ml•McKinsey: The Group Secretly Running Every Company (And Government?)2·1 year agoAdmittedly, the title is terrible. The content is very interesting.
Well the Lenin dude managed to create an authoritarian regime in the name of the proletariat [yep, I wrote exactly what I meant] by orchestrating and doing the October coup. The revolution happened in February. Don’t take my word for it, check it out yourselves. Some input for this research can be found in this 11min video. So, I don’t see how taking advises from Lenin for action could lead to anything that’s worth doing in practice.
That’s a very interesting graph for sure! For some reason the source is greyed out, so I thought of sharing the link here for easy access.
For more on this, I suppose we have to wait for part 3 of this three-part series articles
