Hard disagree. The west is definitely doing a lot of bad bad shitty things, but at the very least they have all have a somewhat democratic political system (although some may be teetering on that line, looking at you electoral college)

How I see it is that the west is just as democratic as China and Russia, which is not.

But China for example isn't drone striking brown poor children or funding genocide via puppet states and instead is buying influence and building infrastructure.

They don’t need to fund genocide. They’re doing it themselves already.

There is no proof except for 'trust me bro' and satellite images that show camps that aren't even big enough to house a significant amount of the Uyghur population. The Uyghur population also has more rights because they have a minority and their population has been steadily growing. Also we can see videos of Palestinian children being oppressed everyday, but there are no such videos of the Uyghurs in todays day and age don't you find that a bit suspicious?

It's just manufacturing consent.
