Yeah because the Western war on terror was so totally benign and respectful of human rights.
The level of hypocrisy here is so wild.
Two things can be bad.
My point is claiming China is fighting terrorism just like the US should be a criticism, not a defense. And these are people that (rightly) criticized US antiterrorism actions, so it’s bizarre to then act like similar things are totally fine and normal when China does them.
Ah I see. My misunderstanding.
I think that’s what they’re saying, pretty sure they’re calling out hypocrisy of the video itself not the post
