    The meme itself isn’t about U.S. politics( at least I don’t perceive it that way, I see it more general since I have seen this argument in a lot of situations while not being american), but the overwhelmingly american majority of users want to make it about a U.S. election.

    Depends on the issue. Queerphobics vs “woke ideology”? One denys a minority the right to exist and tries everything to make them miserable (including bringing them to the point of suicide) whilst the other sometimes maybe overshoots a little. There’s no “muh, bOtH sIdEs” here.
    Isreal and Palestina? Hamas is a terror organization hiding behind civilians, in hospitals etc, risking innocent palestinian lives (and there are innocent civilians in Palestine) whilst the israeli government conducts policies of illegal settling or funding of Hamas to stay in power and facilitate a public enemy. Both sides here do abhorrent things on the back of innocent civilian lives, but both do have reasons.

    All in all, this meme is perfect. The stupid and idiotic person depicted fits the stupid and undifferentiated caption very well.

    (And yes, I know this text will start a comment war about Israel and Palestine because too many people feel like they have to pick a side and defend everything that side does. I will not participate though.)

    i don’t have the time to deconstruct it for ya,

    Then you should take that time. Because

    the “uyghur genocide” claims are basically an astroturfed campaign by an evangelical christo-fascist named Adrian Zenz.

    needs damn citation. Especially in the face of these:

    Counterterrorism and Preventive Repression: China’s Changing Strategy in Xinjiang

    In 2017–18, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) changed its domestic security strategy in Xinjiang, escalating the uurlse of mass detention, ideological re-education, and pressure on Uyghur diaspora networks.

    Cultural erasure: Tracing the destruction of Uyghur and Islamic spaces in Xinjiang

    The Chinese Government has embarked on a systematic and intentional campaign to rewrite the cultural heritage of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). It’s seeking to erode and redefine the culture of the Uyghurs and other Turkic-speaking communities—stripping away any Islamic, transnational or autonomous elements—in order to render those indigenous cultural traditions subservient to the ‘Chinese nation’.

    The Uyghur Genocide: An Examination of China’s Breaches of the 1948 Genocide Convention

    This report concludes that the People’s Republic of China (China) bears State responsibility for committing genocide against the Uyghurs in breach of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) based on an extensive review of the available evidence and application of international law to the evidence of the facts on the ground.

    If you’re claiming these are false, invented or otherwise untrue, you need damn good evidence.

    if you’re really leftist […]

    Really? A No True Scotsman is really bad style.
