Yet, they still manage to have concern for Uyghurs, who they didn’t know existed until imperial core propaganda started manufacturing bullshit about them.

America definitely wouldn't be doing it this brazenly without AIPAC. In all their previous genocides they fought for a major objective and managed to keep their propaganda alive. Now it's all falling apart for a miniscule landgrab for a settler colony while not lending the weapons to Israel but giving it all for free. See Ukraine as an example for what realpolitik looks like. Gaza is not it.

USA is an interesting empire. Will be studied for millenia. Thinking 100 or 150 more years left. Could be shorter we'll see. Probably just turn into an ex super power, with little South American skirmishes everywhere....wait

Thr USA killed way way way more than 10 million native americans. We will never know the true scale of the genecide because the majority of it was done through disease. Early settlers would deliberately trade goods contaminated with several european diseases that the natives had little or no resistance to, including small pox and several others I can't remember off the top of my head. Explorers moving west described "virgin" country untouched by man, beautiful and bountiful, but they were wrong. What they saw was an environment shaped over thousands of years by humans for humans that once supported hundreds of millions of native americans, who were mostly dead by the time european explorers got there. The genecide everyone knows about was really just the end, picking off the stragglers. That was bad enough that it's whitewashed in public schooling, but they don't even teach the history of the biological warfare that did the vast majority of the work. In many ways the americas still bear the gaping wounds of european contact today. This place is built on a foundation genocide.

Truly, no one would ever fathom Europeans committing genocide.

Guy with a bloody knife standing at the end of a long line of muslims lying on the ground with stabwounds in their stomach, pointing to a normal guy who was shitty to his neighbours 60 years ago: "That guy over there is stabbing a Muslim to death! I saw it! I don't have any pictures or any proof, but I saw it! Don't believe me? Ask my employee NaziGuy McCommieHater!"

Now then, now then, don't be trying to get ahead of us British colonizers! Our history is pretty murky. Something that is conveniently ignored, but gets you in hot water when you challenge our current fascists like Farage, Tommy Robinson and even mainstream leaders.

Unfortunately and with greater hesitation, I shall say unto ya’ll & everyone else within earshot, a reluctant and nauseating amen.(On a personal level) I AM SO NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS! Bittersweet Dreams Everyone. At least if the day comes sooner than it may have come forty years ago( when my awareness of the “American” version became so very apparent. F it all! My principles & values have not budged in the slightest except perhaps become more accommodating and accepting of some marginalized communities that might have not been given the access & ability to address issues & needs of said communities. There is plenty to go around good peoples😃 Poke a few holes in a billionaires nutbag & let ‘er flow for everyone. Tis’ the season for philanthropy via other people’s $’s. Tough times, tougher titty mister. Ima ask you something, where is your passport? I know you think it’s where you thought it was. Don’t worry. I am not what you think I am. You are what you think I am.

Why are you changing goal posts? Looks like it is more countries than "the core". Ukraine also showed how China pressured everyone to not vote yes.
-
@takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2025-12-29 23:45
Oh, so because they raise awareness of a genocide happening, it means they don't like them? It originally started that only a small percentage backs it up. Turns out that percentage is much much bigger.

Damn, I’d never even heard of [Turanism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turanism), though I am a little familiar with the debunked 19^th^ century linguistics. >Turanism, also known as Turanianism, pan-Turanism or pan-Turanianism, is a pan-nationalist political movement built around pseudoscientific claims of biological and linguistic connections between various ethnic groups of Eurasia. It revolves around the abandoned proposal of a Ural-Altaic language family, which hypothesizes that the Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, and Uralic peoples share Inner and Central Asian origins and therefore close cultural, ethnic, and linguistic bonds. Supporters of Turanism propose political unity among these groups, chiefly to oppose the cultural and political influences of the Indo-Europeans of Europe, West Asia, and South Asia, as well as the Sino-Tibetans of East Asia. The movement emerged in the 19th century to counter pan-nationalist ideologies such as pan-Germanism, and built upon the ideas of pan-Slavism (e.g. the idea of a "Turanian brotherhood and collaboration" was borrowed from the pan-Slavic concept of "Slavic brotherhood and collaboration").

Is it not? Surely we don't have to sit here and pretend that United Nation votes aren't extremely political. Maybe if we were school children playing model UN we might think that but we should all know better right? We know that geopolitics and trade relations usually define UN resolutions more than actual truth does. It's one of the major faults of the United Nations.

This thread is now below the fold, the post is a day old, and no one here seems to be buying what you’re selling, so I don’t know why you’re back making more cheap retorts.
