When there are exactly two options before you, and one of them will be selected, and neither one is perfect, and you spend all your effort bitching about the least bad choice, you’re helping get the most bad choice selected.
Despite what you may have been led to believe, anti-genocide groups have never spent “all their effort” on electoral politics. You’re choosing to spend your time right now bitching about those fighting oppression rather than joining the fight.
Most Palestine spaces banned anyone who explained why Trump was objectively worse so yes, the ones who created those echo chambers and participated spreading those narratives to the wider population deserve to be called on it.
In addition to the other replies, there’s also quite a large difference between the actions of a foreign government doing something our current government already considers human rights abuse and the actions of a foreign government defended by our own, carried out with weapons manufactured and supplied by us, and where any criticism or protest of said support is categorized by nearly every politician as either antisemitism or tacit support of republican extremism. Both are genocide, but trying to protest the actions of the Chinese government as a US citizen in the US is pretty pointless, it’s better to focus efforts where it has a more direct impact. You don’t need to evenly split your attention between every single issue in order to be allowed to talk about any of them.
I align with what Twiddle is saying and as for me, plenty, across multiple platforms. Genocide is bad whether you choose to pay attention or not. Thank you for asking!
Do you not know what an anarchist is? Its okay to admit it. Anarchists oppose authority and all unjust hierarchies.
Every time I make a comment (very high bar you’ve set for determining my political activity level BTW /s) calling for the liberation of all oppressed peoples, I’m talking about Uighurs, Palestinians, Indigenous peoples, the working class, and anyone imprisoned or oppressed by hierarchical power structures.

Good work.

How many comments have you made about what China is doing to the Uighurs?

I’m an anarchist not a tankie thank you. Typical lib behaviour to assume though. Very helpful to your case.
