      Those two countries make up a large part of the world together, and furthermore many other countries align with their views. I think the point of this “meme” is that dismissing those views as fringe risks normalizing only a small part of the global discourse.

        i think that’s the point of this trend – an attempt to make important subject like genocide and ethnic cleansing feel more like astroturfed concern.

          I feel like a lot of those things are entirely orthogonal to what side one chooses. Like, Russia attacks Ukraine, the US attacks Iran, China does ethnic cleansing, Israel does too. So the best we can do as regular citizens is to ensure we don’t restrict our views.
