States rarely care about anyone. But this meme is diminishing the genocide in Gaza by saying “look what those other guys did”. I believe the internet word for this kind of propaganda is “whataboutism”.
So why don’t you go here:

and tell them they’re diminishing the genocide in Xinjiang?
Oh right, because you don’t actually care about genocide you’re just upset that China and Russia are getting dunked on.
I am happy for you. The great mind reader. The world must so much easier for you. But if you already knew all this, why even post the meme?
The reason I even care is because you try to excuse a crime against humanity happening in front of me.
China killed Muslims for being Muslims in Chechnya? Or all Marxists are responsible for the sins of every other Marxist?
Bold stance either way.
Do you see how there’s two countries in this picture?
Standing against imperialism and genocide isn’t a bold stance.
I see, so you have Russia speaking three times to China’s one here, and conflating the Soviets propping up a socialist satellite state with genocide because every time you kill a Muslim it’s because they’re Muslim. And of course the modern Russian fascist state inherits the sins of a defunct state that collapsed nearly 40 years ago.
Gonna be real, this is a pretty bad take from the specific evidence being used even if the overall vibe is right. Like Americans and… Literally every European colonial power aren’t allowed to criticize Israel either with this logic, you know? Or the Uyghur genocide for that matter.
Or is that the goal here?
Oh I’m so sorry, should I have been more equitable to China here? I’m so sorry to have offended you by not giving it a 50/50 split.
Please take my deepest sincere apologies, you’ll find them right next to Russia and China’s human rights.
You are defending Russia’s genocide of Ukraine and China’s genocide of the Uighur, is that your goal here?
I think you shouldn’t whattaboutism criticism of genocide in general, fam
I think you shouldn’t support genocide by any party, fam.
I don’t and haven’t at any point, and further I think you’re being defensive and irrational because you know you’re wrong to gatekeep criticism of an ongoing genocide.
Zionist propaganda on .ca shocking.
Ohh so this is like how Zionists labels everything they don’t like as anti-Semitic?
This is clearly making fun of Russia and China, but you already knew that.
There are plenty of things to make fun of China and Russia over you just picked the one that allowed you to also downplay a genocide.
I have never once down played the genocide, and routinely post about it. So nice try.
What I am downplaying here is China and Russia’s so very genuine and deep concerns for human life.
Oh and I didn’t ‘pick’ shit, I made this to riff on some shitty half truth tankie meme that was on my feed. Sorry if you don’t like to call out all sides of genociders.
