NBA Co-Owner Says 'Nobody Cares' About China's Uyghur Genocide

Golden State Warriors Co-Owner Chamath Palihapitiya said he doesn't care about China's genocide against its Uyghur minority population.

On Saturday, billionaire Co-Owner of the Golden State Warriors Chamath Palihapitiya told a podcast audience that he doesn’t care about China’s enslavement and genocide against its minority Uyghur population.

During his All-In podcast interview, Palihapitiya waved off concerns about China’s ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs, saying, “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs.”


Palihapitiya, the CEO of Societal Capital which boasts that its call is “solving the world’s hardest problems,” shocked podcast host David Sacks when he dismissed concerns about the enslavement of millions of Chinese Uyghurs because he feels no one cares about them. Palihapitiya went on to add that he has other priorities to worry about.

“Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK? You bring it up because you really care, and I think it’s nice that you care. The rest of us don’t care. I’m just telling you a very hard, ugly truth. Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line. Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line,” Palihapitiya exclaimed.

To the podcast host’s shock, Palihapitiya continued.

“I care about the fact that our economy can turn on a dime if China invades Taiwan. I care about climate change. I care about America’s crippling and decrepit health care infrastructure. But if you ask me, do I care about a segment of a class of people in another country? Not until we can take care of ourselves will I prioritize them over us,” Palihapitiya added.

“And I think a lot of people believe that, and I’m sorry if that’s a hard truth to hear, but every time I say that I ‘care about the Uyghurs’, I’m really just lying if I don’t really care and so I rather not lie to you and tell you the truth. It’s not a priority for me,” Palihapitiya said dismissively.

During the exchange, Palihapitiya also claimed that China wasn’t a dictatorship and was no worse than the United States.

I find this sort of attitude with China from pretty much all left wingers who adore China in terms of the money they can make from them and the fact China is a Marxist dictatorship, something they all admire.

In fact, I'm sure Diaper Joe will allow Americans to go to the Olympics in China, even though Atlanta was boycotted by the Left in regards to moving the All Star game for their voting laws, as if they are somehow worse than the Chinese dictatorship that has open genocide and just released the worst Pandemic to the rest of the world in modern times while trying to cover it all up.

Silicon Valley and the NBA are corporate cesspools of Leftism and the DNC, so this sort of thing should not be surprising.

And I'm sure this will come as no surprise for most either, Palihapitiya has tried to brand himself as a socially conscious investor, constantly commenting on Left wing causes such as BLM. And just like Lebron James, he seems to praise blacks for speaking out against perceived oppression while chastising those in Hong Kong for speaking out against their Chinese comrades.

Bloomberg: China Is Not A Dictatorship

Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said Chinese President Xi Jinping is "not a dictator" and insisted the Chinese Communist Party listens to its constituents.

Michael Bloomberg told Firing Line host Margaret Hoover that Chinese president Xi Jinping is "not a dictator" and insisted the Chinese Communist Party listens to its constituents. The comments come in the wake of the former New York mayor's announcement of an economic forum in Beijing this November.

Bloomberg defended China's ruling communist regime citing its handling of pollution and environmental policy, claiming that it is responding to the needs of citizens. The billionaire's comments come amid months of violent protest in Hong Kong and international outcry about the oppression of Chinese Muslims.


"The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public," Bloomberg said. "When the public says ‘I can't breathe the air,' Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he's not going to survive."

"He's not a dictator?" Hoover asked. "He doesn't have a vote, he doesn't have a democracy. He's not held accountable by voters. Is the check on him just a revolution?"

"No, he has a constituency to answer to," Bloomberg responded. "You're not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people."

For months Hong Kong has been engulfed in sometimes violent protests about a bill that would have allowed for the extradition of criminal suspects to mainland China. Protesters have argued the bill represents a violation of Hong Kong's rights as a semi-autonomous region of China.


When Hoover pointed this out, Bloomberg insisted the Chinese Communist Party is responsive to its constituents.

"There's always in government, even governments that aren't what we call a democracy, there are lots of stakeholders who have vested interests and they have an impact," he said.

China has forced more than 1 million Chinese Uyghur Muslims into what the Chinese government described as "reeducation" internment camps. The United States, along with 30 other countries, condemned China's treatment of its Uyghur minority as a "horrific campaign of repression." John Sullivan, the U.S. deputy secretary of state, invited other countries "to join the international effort to demand and compel an immediate end to China's horrific campaign of repression."

This week, a human rights lawyer accused the Chinese government of murdering members of the Uyghur minority and the Falun Gong religious group to harvest organs. The lawyer called on the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate the claims.

James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change

In his first in-depth interview since the theft of UEA emails, the scientist blames inertia and democracy for lack of action

www.theguardian.com

Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades. This is the stark conclusion of James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory.

It follows a tumultuous few months in which public opinion on efforts to tackle climate change has been undermined by events such as the climate scientists' emails leaked from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the failure of the Copenhagen climate summit.



"I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change," said Lovelock in his first in-depth interview since the theft of the UEA emails last November. "The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful."

One of the main obstructions to meaningful action is "modern democracy", he added. "Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."

When a democrat tells the truth, it means he/she fucked up and strayed from the party line.

The truth slips out every now and again, which is why he had to back track and apologize about his genocide supporting rant.

But this is no different than when FDR down played the genocide in Nazi Germany

Historically, democrats are Ok with genocide it seems. After all, these are National Socialists who hated Jews like FDR did, so how bad could they be?

The Folly of Excusing FDR on the Holocaust - Washington Examiner

During the Holocaust, the Roosevelt administration claimed that rescuing Jews was too difficult, bombing Auschwitz was impractical, and even if the president wanted to help, his hands were tied by Congress and public opinion. Now two young historians are making many of the same excuses. These...

www.washingtonexaminer.com

The United States and its allies confirmed in late 1942 that the “cold-blooded extermination" of Europe's Jews was underway but insisted nothing could be done to help them except win the war. Jewish activists, by contrast, were convinced that if there was a will, ways could be found to save lives. They were backed by members of Congress who, in the autumn of 1943, introduced a resolution urging the establishment of a rescue agency. The Roosevelt administration, trying to head off pressure to take rescue action, sent Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long to Capitol Hill to testify against the measure.

Long's prevarications ignited a firestorm of criticism in the press and galvanized the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to unanimously adopt the resolution. Meanwhile, a handful of Treasury Department officials discovered the State Department had been suppressing news about the mass murder and blocking rescue opportunities. They persuaded Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. to confront the president with a plea to create a rescue agency before Congress embarrassed him by passing the resolution.


Erbelding acknowledges this sequence of events but cannot imagine the president’s positive response to Morgenthau reflected anything but the purest of motives. FDR “needed no convincing" from his Treasury secretary, she claims. In fact, he needed quite a bit of convincing, in the form of a looming full Senate vote that would show him up on the rescue issue, a potential election-year scandal over the State Department’s actions, and a rising clamor among Jewish and refugee advocacy groups. That’s why Roosevelt, who was against rescue before he was for it, suddenly reversed himself and created the War Refugee Board through an executive order. According to Erbelding, the president’s action was “altruistic”—not a motive commonly found among seasoned politicians.

What the board achieved in its brief 15-month existence was remarkable. By financing the hiding of Jews and the bribing of Nazis, moving Jewish refugees out of the way of the retreating German armies, and sponsoring Raoul Wallenberg’s rescue mission in occupied Budapest, the board played a major role in saving some 200,000 Jews, mainstream historians estimate. Erbelding’s description of this work as “Franklin D. Roosevelt’s little-known effort late in the war to save the Jews” is contradicted by the fact that the president and the rest of his administration obstructed or ignored much of the board’s work.

FDR actually prevented Jews from escaping Germany and it's Holocaust on the excuse they may be spies for HItler

The U.S. immigration system severely limited the number of German Jews admitted during the Nazi years to about 26,000 annually — but even that quota was less than 25% filled during most of the Hitler era, because the Roosevelt administration piled on so many extra requirements for would-be immigrants. For example, starting in 1941, merely leaving behind a close relative in Europe would be enough to disqualify an applicant — on the absurd assumption that the Nazis could threaten the relative and thereby force the immigrant into spying for Hitler.

FDR, the idol all democrats worship, thought the Jewish question could be settled around the world by "spreading them thin". That way the world might be able to tolerate them.

However, in the interim, killing them in the ovens of Nazi Germany would have to do.

Nobody cares about the Uyghurs. He’s right.

They also don’t care about the Tibetans.
They don’t care about Darfur.
They don’t care about the Kurds.

And before you think this is something terribly different, we didn’t care about European Jews in the 30s either.

Well, some people did, but few who were actually willing to pay the price to do something about it.
