I mean I’m equally worried about China and their genocide against e.g. the Uyghurs as I am about the western genocide against e.g. Palestinians or the Russian genocide against e.g. Ukrainians. The problem is with the concept of empire, not any implementation of that concept specifically.
I guess worry depends too on how good an empire is at coming into being. You can argue that the Russian special operation is pretty damn ineffective (relative to expectation) And less dangerous than if Putin was marching toward the Atlantic
