If they say I don’t care about what happens to the Uyghurs because I don’t obsess about it, think about it, and modify my spending habits while shouting out the the world that I care, then I, as many people like me, would honestly plead guilty as charged.
And people are correct to say we have bigger fish to fry. We have plenty of problems that are making me lose sleep, and a world without a strong America is one of them. The USA is not, and has never been perfect, but a strong America has a positive and steadying influence on the world.
And we have our purely domestic issues that have my full attention from rampant totalitarianism to intentional destruction of our energy sector and economy, as well as the intentional subversionjust to name three of them.
But to say people don’t care about what happens to the Uyghurs under a thumb of a Communist/Marxist/Maoist regime, which is showing clear signs that it wants to export its ideology and influence all over the world (including Southern and Central America as well as Cuba) using its industrial clout coupled with its Belt and Road initiatives, does concern me. Because anyone who looks at the way the Chicoms deal with the Uyghurs (or any other individualistic dissidents) and thinks it won’t happen here is dead wrong.
So, yeah.
I care about what happens to the Uyghurs, because I care what is happening with the Chicoms.
And the fact that our government is nearly completely bought by them (if not bought outright with money, or by blackmail, but also purchased enthusiastically by starry-eyed Marxist ideologues that demonstrate that it is openly embraced not only by many in our culture, entertainment, and media, but openly embraced in our government itself) means that it is coming here.
So in that sense, yes. I care about the Uyghurs. Because if we ignore it and don’t care, it could be us hooked up to an EMCO machine to keep us alive while our organs are harvested one at a time for party members who need them. Which is what the Chicoms do to the Ugyhurs and other dissidents.
We should care about them, because if we don’t, it will be us.
"...And we have our purely domestic issues that have my full attention from rampant totalitarianism to intentional destruction of our energy sector and economy, as well as the intentional subversion of our electoral and judicial processes just to name three of them..."
“We should care about them, because if we don’t, it will be us.”
Well said and best reasoning so far.
