You should probably stop unquestionably believing everything the US says about its enemies then
What is it about my comment that makes you think i do? Fuck ALL corporations. Fuck ALL governments. Is that clear enough?
It's clear that you equate an empire's atrocities with their victim country's self defense.
Saying "all governments are equally bad" while the US is bombing them outright or funding their destruction is tone-deaf.
I agree with the second half but I can't figure out where you got the "equally" from.
China is, eh, self-defending in Xinjiang against Uyghurs? Or what's your point?
The majority of the world, notably Islamic countries, who've been bombed by US and british planes for almost a century now, disagree with you. Only the countries aligned with the US empire are buying this line.
You can also just go to Xinjiang, and see for yourself, unlike the main person peddling this narrative, Adrian Zenz, an anti-semitic evangelical who works for the US government, and doesn't speak a word of mandarin.

And here comes the extreme orientalism and chauvinism. Those damn Muslims can't be trusted, only the noble White Man can be trusted to tell the truth, after all, their love for Muslims is well known...
The countries against China's Xinjiang policy are entirely Europe, its colonies and Japan.
Classic US foreign policy propaganda. It's not Uyghurs, it's specific fanatical jihadi separatists among Uyghurs who made a guest appearance among the other head choppers in Syria after the government fell and are openly looking for international support to do the same in China. You're completely wrong if you think that all Uyghurs want to live under Sharia law in some Uyghurstan.
You're basically an ISIS supporter.
The fact that you only do this "all lives matter!" style equivocation in one direction.
Oh? So can I get a "fuck the government of Ukraine"? How about "fuck the government of Taiwan." How about "Fuck the republican party AND the Democratic party, neither of them are your friend, they're both out to squeeze you"? (The last one being very different from what you were saying during the election, where, for some reason, your "everyone is bad, maaaan!" stance was nowhere to be seen...)
To be an anarchist you actually have to consistently hold anarchist positions. Not being a liberal 99% of the time and only bringing out the facade of anarchism when you need to justify acting like a western chauvinist.
You can't be an anarchist and a fanatical supporter of the democratic party at the same time
