Since you brought up the Columbia protests and general dissent inside the US: how many such conflicts and genocides are directly backed and propped up by the US?

Fewer than you’d think [1]. (We send aid to Sudan and are practically uninvolved in Myanmar.)

Well, that’s my point. This is the only major ongoing conflict where the US and major Western powers are virtually unconditionally backing the “bad guys”.

So it makes sense that there would be more attention and pushback on this one versus others.

Hmm, thank you. Hadn’t considered that.

(It’s interesting because it requires disentangling anti-American sentiments from the equation.)
