    If that’s the metric for good or evil, take a look at how much of the equipment of the Tatmadaw (Myanmar’s military) and the Arakan Army (a faction in the civil war) was from China while they conduct the Rohingya genocide

      Yeah, you’re actually right about that. China has a bad track record of supporting genocidal governments in SEA, like with the Khmer Rouge.

      The scale of the genocide in Gaza is much larger than the Rohingya genocide, though, so it’s still inappropriate to call Europe the “good side” as compared to China.

        Are you really going to make an argument based on which of two genocides had bigger numbers?

          No, I’m willing to admit that what China did is really horrible and can rightfully justify putting them as Darth Vader in the meme. I’m saying that Europe doesn’t get to be Luke.

            China is the one keeping Russia afloat while destroying Ukraine. Go sway stupid troll, the Fediverse is not for your kind. Blocked.
