What ever became of the Free Hong Kong protests?

[–] whileloop@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

We forgot them, and now Hong Kong is just as repressed as the rest of China.

Hollywood lied to me

Kind of hard to keep a protest going through covid and also anyone who says anything being arrested

Considering that western media is hysterically blaming Palestinians for Israeli atrocities now, I'd say it's rather Israel's (alleged) "plight" that's getting the limelight - not Gaza.

Also Tigray, Congo, Nicaragua, Kurdistan, Xinjiang, Myanmar...

I'm starting to think that the american media just focuses on whatever war is most advantageous for the american empire at the time.

The real drowning is the Sudan civil war

The Darfur conflict was my first eye opener to major powers pissing around while genocide happened. In fact that conflict is still going on as recent as last year.

Just seeing the word "Kurdistan" sets you guys off huh?

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 years ago

At least there’s some discussion about Israel committing genocide. The Azeri threat to Armenians in karbach has been getting ignored for years.

It's been more than a year it's bound to die off. Plus 1500 plus killed in one day is way more interesting than 1 inch of ground recoverd

Whatever happened to Kony?

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That post got enough likes in 2012 so we stopped him!

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

From his Wiki page, he is in hiding and his army has all but entirely disbanded. It also notes that by 2012 he was already in hiding and and the US was already providing Uganda with military assistance against the terrorist group he founded.
