I mean they’re locking up millions, as part of a genocide that everyone has decided is ok, so it isn’t surprising they’ve got some “intellectuals”
Are you talking about Yemen? I think that Obama was also part of it with drone strikes.
lol, no, he’s talking about the Uighurs, which involves orders of magnitude more people than all drone strikes combined.
thanks for fixing my ignorance
I mean that's another problem - America's general "killing people in other countries is ok if it might be the enemy" results in unending variations of this. The current bout of bombing civilians started in with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 (I think?), but before that they aggressively bombed Vietnam.

But there is a real difference between indifference to collateral deaths and actively trying to eliminate entire races/religions/etc, and so it's important not to fall into both-sidesism.
