It’s funny bc anecdotally, it seemed like the Uyghur thing died down a good bit going into the pandemic and then sprang up again late into the Ukraine and Palestine situations.

You know it sounds something like “I’m for a free Palestine as much as the next guy but let’s not forget about the Ukraine kids and the Uighurs”
At which point they should be told to shut the fuck up and stop commandeering a cause for their own preferred political gripes
