Libs: “THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE’S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU’LL GET BANNED!!!”
Also libs: “Didn’t you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? 
Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it’s sad but inevitable”
Fuuuuuuuuuck this shit.
I saw the exact same thing happening on TV. There was a Palestinian member of the french left who was interviewed as a candidate for European elections and I kid you not the interview went like :
- Journalist repeatedly denies that there’s a genocide in Gaza, interviewee cites international law and evidence to defend that there’s a genocide in Gaza
- Journalist brings up that her party abstained on recognising the “genocide” in Xinjiang. Interviewee cites international law and simply say she’s still very concerned yada yada. Journalist repeatedly scolds her about it
If any lib in the wall needed further proof that the west, through their media, is never serious about human rights and only instrumentalises them
The UN are genocide deniers I guess then. Their report says they found no evidence of such.
Have you considered that the UN has buckled to Chinese pressure? Just like the WHO and all the other things I don’t like?
The UN is Chinese Hamas
Actually the UN is Chinese Hamas RuZZian WOKE
the UN is almost entirely DEI, all countries should be represented by cishet white usian men
Chamas?

Still spamming that “human rights abuse” button to death they seem to still be persuaded that teaching jobs is torture
Lmao I remember that, the accusations that giving women access to free higher education and vocational training was cultural genocide because now the women would have the financial independence to choose if they wanted to live according to traditional social rules or not
Edit: and the time that giving school kids free school lunches was cultural genocide because Muslims fast during Ramadan - and the western libs revealed they aren’t at all connected to Uyghur culture in which children under 14 usually don’t fast anyway.
It’s because westerners don’t see Muslims as human, so liberating people from reactionary ideals is seen as destroying the only way they see Muslims as acting (being conservative fundamentalists)
The west reserves the right to pretend to care about liberating Muslim women from reactionary ideals if it can serve as justification for belligerence.
I’m not going to pretend China wasn’t heavy handed and that there’s stuff to criticise in there but the outcome is way fucking better than the western approach to islamic extremism. No deaths to speak of and the extremism ended completely. Compared to the western approach of incarceration and bombing it works 1000x better.
Thing is, the debate never was about whether the reeducation camps were excessive, it’s about genocide. People still believe the unsubstantiated claims of mass sterilisation, people still believe that the Uyghur culture is being destroyed (the other day someone posted a video of the youtube channel Little Chinese Everywhere visiting Xinjiang which clearly shows otherwise)… It’s extremely sad how, after 3+ years of no new claims because there isn’t even any way to make up evidence anymore, people still believe there’s an ongoing genocide
people still believe there’s an ongoing genocide.
I don’t think they do. Fascists say the wrong things on purpose. They know there’s no genocide going on in China. However, they need a narrative to justify sinophobia and anti-communism.
Libs are sealioning to push the modern White Man’s Burden. Accusations of genocide, homophobia, misogyny, etc. is always directed at non-white countries who aren’t doing what the Imperial Core wants them to do.
If they actually cared about genocide, they would be doing something about the treatment of Native Americans, instead of throwing them in jail and building oil pipelines on what little land they have left. If they cared about homophobia, they’d stamp out the GOP and vote out politicians passing anti-LBTQ+ legislation. If they cared about racism, they’d abolish police and prisons. If they cared about women, they’d make abortion and gender equality constitutional rights.
Since they do not do these things, the only conclusion to be had is they use accusations as a way of deflecting criticism and justifying imperialism.
They know there’s no genocide going on in China. However, they need a narrative to justify sinophobia and anti-communism.
I think a lot of people heard “China is doing a genocide” five years ago, took it as fact, and have simply baked it into their worldview ever since.
Libs and chuds do the same thing with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Hell, I’ve heard people spew the “Soviets allied with the Nazis” tripe without even knowing the name of the pact; it’s just accepted as common knowledge.
They took it as fact because it justifies American exceptionalism. There’s no critical thought around it because it helps spurn the narrative of the US being the world’s greatest democracy. If you start thinking other countries have better rights and freedoms than the US, that narrative falls apart.
This same tactic has been used to demonize North Korea and Iraq. Liberals know this, which is why they continue using it against countries like China and Palestine.
Can confirm we just lost several members of our friend-group to the “but chYna” rhetoric. Libs gunna lib.
Nah you dont talk to casual libs enough. They read about a genocide of Uighers and believe it and thats it. Its an incredibly effective psyop. To believe noone actually believes its actually real is silly. Not that long ago i posted something from an anticolonial account posting awareness of all the ongoing genocides on the planet (you can find it in my post history). It wasnt one of the main ones, bit deep in the replies it did mention Xinjiang and the invasion of Ukraine as ongoing genocides too. Well meaning people sincerely believe it because its a psyop that targets well meaning people.
Yeah I agree with you
Turned out it wasn’t excessive, at least not compared to basically every other possible alternative. It was also completely uncharted territory in the field of terrorism alleviation and prevention and the success is unprecedented.
they seem to still be persuaded that teaching jobs is torture
Elementary school was the worst 15 years of their lives.
I recall the UN high comissioner for human rights who conducted the investigation, Michelle Bachelet, got endless flak for not indicting China.

In my experience they refuse to actually read it and instead link to a Guardian article that wrote some bullshit about the UN not being allowed to see the real stuff instead. Regardless of the fact the UN addresses that they are satisfied with the visit.
Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it’s sad but inevitable”
But when you tell them Ukraine war is probably the least deadly for civilian* wars in last over century with military to civilian deaths ratio being like 50 to 1 they will get incredibly mad.
*From 2022 when ukronazi army got pushed from most of Donbas, in 2014-feb.2022 majority of victims were civilians in Donbas.
They’ll say it’s because Ukraine are wholesome 100 Marvel heroes who protect their people while Hamas uses human shielderinos.
Plot twist: Yeah but they are on Russian side
Not to mention Ukrainians using human shields is also confirmed multiple times
Ukraine genociding themselves by sending the few thousand males of child-rearing age they still have to the front without training
I remember some serious discussions (in context of WW1 and War of the Triple Alliance) if doing something like this, especially in a prolonged war with already known consequences should be called genocide of government on their own nation.
It should be. It’s quite a brutal “strategy” that just gets people killed.
Didn’t Ukraine deliberately draft a lot of people from their eastern oblasts specifically for the reason that they were more expendable and also not-really ukrainians anyway?
Yes. They fucked up though because at the start they send a lot of those units to strongarm Donbas, i have no idea if they just didn’t give a shit or sadistic nazi brain got dopamine kick on the thought of using untermensch to opress their own families, but entire units in some cases defected, forming the core of Donbas militias and turning what was supposed to be rollover and demonstration of power into actual civil war.
You got any sources on that? I’d love to read about it
I mean UN reported around 10000 dead civilians for entire war (edit: since Russian intervention in 2022) last year with military deaths already estimated on at least 250000 and possibly even 500000, it was on the wiki about the war when i last checked (to be fair it was some time ago, but the ratio should hold for the last year or even increase on the side of military since there were some really fierce fights since then)
Ok, I didn’t know any numbers about the casualties. Thank you for the context and for the sources, comrade
Remember that a casualty is not a death, but media will conflate the two freely
Average LW interaction
And damn they really did a genocide denial in the same comment they attacked you for supposedly doing the same. Amazing.
I saw an LW thread about China yesterday and everytime somebody said something even mildly positive about China, some smuglord posted “two questions: is the Tiananmen massacre real and are Uyghurs genocided?” and when people discarded the questions as irrelevant, they posted some le epic reddit debate win reply. LW is worse than reddit I swear to god lol
LW is made up of the most adamantly theory-less liberals too ideological to remain on Reddit after the API crisis. If they weren’t theory-less libs, they would go to a different instance, but instead they have a cargo-cult recreation of their favorite treat turned rotten.
You can literally go on tiktok right now and see how many zionist war crimes as you can stomach, and yet I can’t find a single instance of anything anywhere of Xinjiang. Libs just think what MSM tells them to think.
Either China has the most sophisticated censorship and security apparatus ever made or there’s no genocide. Given how photos of the Holocaust, Japan’s invasion of its neighbors, the Rwandan Genocide, Bosnia, and the current genocide in Gaza were all available to contemporaries, I’m inclined to think there’s nothing going on in China.
Of course, whitoids will say something like “It’s literally 1894 over there and everyone is brainwashed and the Chinese are savages and don’t take pictures and th–”
We have proof of other genocides because China is the first repressive nation to commit genocide. Every other genocide was done by freedom loving states
Um have you ever considered that’s because the CCP owns TikTok?!? Gods you Tankies will believe anything!!It’s because tiktok is chinese propaganda
They’re also cheering on thermite drones being used by Ukraine in Russia

Genuine question, just because there are some nazis in Ukraine, that justifies a military invasion? Should all countries with neo-nazis in them be invaded by others? Should Russia invade itself, as there are neo-nazis also within Russia? Do you think invasion, killing others, is a valid form of affecting change?
If you say yes to any of these, why are some invasions good (Russia->Ukraine) but other invasions are bad (US->wherever)?
What do you say about the 2013 Ukrainian revolution (Euromaidan), which goal was to topple a Russian-controlled corrupt government and give democratic power to the people? Why do you think the toppling of a Russian-controlled corrupt government wouldn’t be a much more likely reason for the invasion of Ukraine? Doesn’t it make much more sense that if Russia loses autocratic control over Ukraine through a people’s revolution, and can’t pay a corrupt government anymore to do what they want, they would try to regain that control through violence/annexation?
Nazi is part of the problem.
The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maidan coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable.

Why do you think the government formed from Euromaidan is legitimate when the people living there, Eastern Ukraine don’t think so? In your word, they just traded a Russian-controlled corrupt government to a US-controlled corrupt government.
I understand that there are people in Ukraine who are more aligned with Russia than EU. However, in democracies, which is a terrible form of government but still the best one we have, the majority wins. In 2013, the parliament of Ukraine overwhelmingly supported the European-Ukrainian association agreement, which is the democratically elected part of the government, and then the Yanukovich government suddenly decided, no, they’re not going to honor this decision. That is clear corruption in Russian direction. I can’t deny there might still be corruption in the government formed after Euromaidan, but it is very clear that in total, the majority of Ukraine supported this.
It’s kind of telling to me how you ignored the part about an invasion being a fine way to solve this problem. Shouldn’t the people within a country solve their internal problems themselves? There was no military invasion by EU/US/NATO into Ukraine to bring it under their control. NATO militarization or membership looked very unlikely… Until the 2014 invasion of Crimea and now the 2022 invasion of the whole of Ukraine.
There is a whole different level between trying to gain influence through trade agreements compared to trying to gain influence by military invasion. Sure, I completely concede that Western governments are trying to get influence over Ukraine. But why do these influence battles have to escalate into a war, don’t you agree that no matter who influences/controls a country, normal people’s lives are only going to get worse with a war than with peace? The invasions of the US to “help” all kinds of people (obviously not the real motivation) are rightfully condemned, why is this invasion any different? The thought of course is, after the war things should be better, but when had this ever been the case? During WW2, yes, but the problems in Ukraine were nowhere close to ethnic cleansing like was seen in the Nazi regime, in fact it is heavily disputed that there were any coordinated aggression against ethnic Russians at all. Only 3 months passed between Euromaidan and the Russian invasion of Crimea. There wasn’t even enough time to properly form a government, nevermind starting a controlled persecution of ethnic Russians (if that even was a plan/possibility, which is highly disputed).
Another thing, why didn’t Russia stop with Donbas if it was only about “saving the Russians” in eastern Ukraine? Why did they go for Kiev immediately in 2022? It is quite clear that this current war was never (at least only) about saving “prosecuted Russians”.

They went for the head to make a quick peace negotiation. Not joining NATO is a big one in the deal and stop Azov from shelling Donbas/Donetsk. Peace deal fell apart thanks to Boris Johnson.
Fears of peace talks with Putin rise amid US squabbling
Why do you think Russia invaded, exactly ? they started the whole conflict after decades of making NATO encroachment along their borders a clear red line and being very clear what would happen if it was crossed
The US still kept meddling in Ukraine (and other post-soviet states), with Russia making every effort short of war to try and stop that - like offering loans just as large as the IMF loans for example, except without asking for the batshit insane austerity measures the latter did
Then the CIA backed a far-right coup there in 2014, and much of the following years were spent with NATO financing and training nazi soldiers there in preparation of trying to take back Crimea, while breaking the Minsk agreements in the meantime (I’ll pass on the various atrocities and huge reframing of nazi criminals as national heroes in Ukraine there at the same period, since it’s barely related, but it is worth a mention too)
Now both Ukrainian and Russian people are dying. A peace deal would stop that.
What do you believe to be the driving factor(s) that led to the current Russo-Ukranian conflict?

My ‘hot’ take is that your unsubstantiated assertion is contradicted by Putin’s history. He was on the anti-communist side in the 90s, he has been against any sort of return to a planned economy throughout his terms, he has been in favour of stuff like monetisation of welfare, etc.
It’s extremely silly to assert that he wants to ‘bring back his glorious USSR’ when his actions directly contradict that.
If you want to trust a career liar, then that’s on you
Haha. So, you expect him to suddenly do a 180 and completely change his policies and selection of allies?
You’re believing the US media about him, and they’re the biggest career liars on earth. Saddam Hussein’s People Shredder, anyone?
You people are so lobotomized by Good Guy Bad Guy Marvel slop, it’s embarassing

He is a liar. He lied about being a communist so he could infiltrate the KGB and use his position for his own personal gain.
Notice how all the analysis thenother person did was about the actions he’s taken and not the things he’s said because everybody here not only knows he’s a liar but knows that actions speak louder than words.
You’re the one confusing words and actions, right from the get go when you said “let’s do an expirement” and then made a completely uncontroversial statement.
Liberals are literally incapable of material analysis, they literally just make decisions based on what propoganda was presented to them most recently.
The liberal anti-communist wants to restore worker power and internationalism? The multi-billionaire that only pays lip service to communist aesthetics to maintain support among the older nostalgic generations wants to abdicate power to a system of democratic centralism?
They’re so cooked, they conjure new realities that came to them in a dream and believe that dream to itself be reality.
I bet you’re great at math
Try calculating how many people the soviets liberated.
I get paid to do it, so at least some people believe so.
Why didn’t you answer my other questions, you’re replying to my replies for other people, but not the ones directed at you?
It really doesn’t cause a little itch in the back of your head to ignore the dozens of good faith replies you keep getting to make these shitlib reddit comments instead.
Do you legitimately consider yourself to be an honest and serious person?
Putin wanted to be a western lapdog so bad he even asked to join NATO and helped the Americans wage the War on Terror. The West didn’t accept that, because they wanted every non-western country to be absolutely subservient and exploitable.
He was KGB in the USSR and wants to bring back his glorious USSR and take back every inch of land that belonged to the USSR
You are a deeply unserious person
Ok then what’s your take?
I more or less agree with what others here have been telling you.
K. Thanks
You are trolling right? Dear god tell me you are a troll. Putin hates Communism, he blamed the war on the USSR giving autonomy to Ukraine in the first place. If you want to say he is a Tsarist that would be dumb but closer to the truth. This is just pure brainrot. Motherfucker was part of what was called the Yeltsin Family, the clique of capitalists selling out the USSR to the west. Why would he destroy the USSR only to weakly try to bring back small portions of its territory decades later?
You have no coherence, you have only knee-jerk responses based on regurgitated ideology
Sorry to spam you with replies but, while it is true that he’s an irredentist, the idea that he has loyalty to the actual USSR when he is one of the people who helped kill it is completely ridiculous. He is not a communist and makes no secret of that fact.
Do you have any evidence of Putin wishing to reinstate the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Why is Putin moving in a Capitalist direction, rather than Socialist? Why is the conflict specifically centered around regions of Ukraine, not the entirety, and why Ukraine specifically?
Do you believe history to be decided by Great Men, or by Material Conditions?
You’re a child
Most likely. I think you can do better insults than that though
He and his party are the liberals who carried out a coup and then formally dissolved the USSR against the wishes of the public, then spent the next twenty years eagerly collaborating with the US, sucking up to the US, and being propped up by the US. Even now he’s just a sad old liberal trailing after the American far right and implementing American style reactionary laws in the hopes that they’ll finally accept him, even with the ongoing war to keep American nukes from being parked a stone’s throw away from Moscow.

No I’m the pig
To actually answer your experiment: the war in Ukraine is an imperialist war between capitalist Russia and a proxy of the capitalist west (mainly US through NATO influence). Russia is on a scary and dangerous trend towards fascism, and I have loved ones directly suffering the consequences of this.
Edit: not just Russia, to be fair. France, Germany, the US (just to name a few western countries) are clearly on a similar and equally worrying trend. And nobody seems to care when other eastern European countries such as Poland literally ban communist parties (as a good fascist would do), and have people in congress using fire extinguishers against jewish symbols during Hannukah.
Anyone who had a look at Lenin’s “Imperialism: highest stage of capitalism” and took it seriously, knew that there would be war in Europe as soon as they realized that the means of production of the former USSR were auctioned in a corrupt fashion, and their structure of ownership went not to western hands, but to national interests that collide with those of the US. Since that moment, it was just a matter of time that there would be conflict.
Wow, materialist analysis of a conflict, instead of simplistic “Putin bad” or “NATO bad”? (both of these statements being true). Now, what do you answer?
You’re going at it wrong
You need to add some Marvel references and throw in some hamburger analogies so the drone-like WASPs posting this shit can understand
What I don’t understand about Russia is, if they’re capitalist then why don’t they engage in imperialism? The capitalists there have the same interests as capitalists everywhere. Why weren’t they folded into the hegemony they way capitalists of Europe were?
As we all know here, I am very stupid
but I’ll give this a shot based on my current understanding.The USSR was not Imperialist, so when it was sliced up and sold to nationalist Capitalists, there were no readily available colonies to exploit, and Western Powers had already divied up the Global South amongst themselves. With little international exploitation, the Russian Bourgeoisie is Nationalist in character, exploiting their internal proletariat. Meanwhile, Western Powers seek the industrial base of Russia, causing constant conflict.
Russia therefore aligns with BRICS after failing to join NATO and take their “share” of Imperialist super-profits. They tried, and were rejected!
I appreciate the response. I need to probably read more about the topic
Same here, hence the preface, but I did feel comfortable enough in said analysis to post my reply.
I think you could also describe Russian foreign policy in the Middle East (namely Syria) as “adventurism.” AFAIK they’re still occupying parts of Syria with no real exit strategy. While this was done at the request of Syria’s government in order to combat ISIS, Putin hasn’t let the opportunity pass him by to build oil pipelines and whatnot.
Russia has always been called “the sick old man of Europe” for a reason.
I wouldn’t say “Always”
The first popular usage of the phrase was Tsar Nicholas I calling the Ottoman Empire the sick man in the 1800’s, and it was ascribed to alot of nations by alot of nations after WWII.
Nowadays Europe is the sick man of Europe.
Putin tried really had to be taken into the fold imperialism. He assisted the west in its looting of Russia. He tried to join NATO but the crypto fascists who run NATO will never forgive the Slavic peoples for destroying the third reich. After getting teased and given the run around for decades he slowly wised up to the game. Putin realized by 2014 they wouldn’t let him be a European but until late 2023 he still didn’t understand that the west could never be trusted.
I dont think the war in ukraine is an inter imperialist war, it is an anticolonial war started by the national bourgeoisie
Losurdo (2017):
The risk of a great war remains as a result of the efforts, on the part of the United States, to stop anti-colonial revolutions, and to construct a new colonial counter-revolution. The US stands opposed China, but we can also consider here the position of Russia. In my books I insist on a point which is perhaps neglected: the history of Russia in general — not just of Soviet Russia, but of Russia in general — is, on the one hand, the history of an imperial and expansionist power, but there is another aspect to this historical reality: Russia has been at risk of becoming a colony for a very long time. We all know about the invasions by Hitler, by Napoleon, by Charles XII, by the Mongols. For example, if we remit ourselves back to the beginning of the 17th century, it was the Polish who exercised power in Moscow. Immediately after World War I — after the defeat of Tsarist Russia — Russia was in danger of being balkanized, of becoming a colony. Here I quote Stalin, who said that the West saw Russia like they saw Central Africa, that they were trying to drag it into war for the sake of Western capitalism and imperialism. [2]
The end of the Cold War, with the West and the United States triumphant, once again put Russia at risk of becoming a colony. Massive privatization was not only a betrayal of the working classes of the Soviet Union and Russia, it was also a betrayal of the Russian nation itself. The West was trying to take over Russia’s massive energy deposits, and the US came very close to acquiring them. Here Yeltsin played the role of “great champion” for the Western colonization effort. Putin is not a communist, that much is clear, but he wants to stop this colonization, and seeks to reassert Russian power over its energy resources.

Ok, now your turn on the experiment. Is there an ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza? Is there an ongoing genocide against Uyghur in Xinjiang?
Removed by mod
The US’s “Uyghur genocide” (“cultural” or otherwise) disinformation campaign has already been debunked several times over.
- The Xinjiang Genocide Allegations Are Unjustified
- The Uyghur Human Rights Project is a product of the National Endowment for Democracy, which is the American government’s main regime change NGO.
- Uyghur genocide allegations
- US-Funded Uyghur Activists Train as Soldiers of Empire
- A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
- The blueprint of regime change operations
We see here for example the evolution of public opinion in regards to China. In 2019, the ‘Uyghur genocide’ was broken by the media (Buzzfeed, of all outlets). In this story, we saw the machine I described up until now move in real time. Suddenly, newspapers, TV, websites were all flooded with stories about the ‘genocide’, all day, every day. People whom we’d never heard of before were brought in as experts — Adrian Zenz, to name just one; a man who does not even speak a word of Chinese.
Organizations were suddenly becoming very active and important. The World Uyghur Congress, a very serious-sounding NGO, is actually an NED Front operating out of Germany […]. From their official website, they declare themselves to be the sole legitimate representative of all Uyghurs — presumably not having asked Uyghurs in Xinjiang what they thought about that.
The WUC also has ties to the Grey Wolves, a fascist paramilitary group in Turkey, through the father of their founder, Isa Yusuf Alptekin.
Documents came out from NGOs to further legitimize the media reporting. This is how a report from the very professional-sounding China Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) came to exist. They claimed ‘up to 1.3 million’ Uyghurs were imprisoned in camps. What they didn’t say was how they got this number: they interviewed a total of 10 people from rural Xinjiang and asked them to estimate how many people might have been taken away. They then extrapolated the guesstimates they got and arrived at the 1.3 million figure.
Sanctions were enacted against China — Xinjiang cotton for example had trouble finding buyers after Western companies were pressured into boycotting it. Instead of helping fight against the purported genocide, this act actually made life more difficult for the people of Xinjiang who depend on this trade for their livelihood (as we all do depend on our skills to make a livelihood).
Any attempt China made to defend itself was met with more suspicion. They invited a UN delegation which was blocked by the US. The delegation eventually made it there, but three years later. The Arab League also visited Xinjiang and actually commended China on their policies — aimed at reducing terrorism through education and social integration, not through bombing like we tend to do in the West.

The World Uyghur Congress also supports
’s genocide against Palestine so there’s that also
Ok, why yes and yes? Where is the evidence that there’s an ongoing genocide in China? Please, as I said in the original post in .world, provide any evidence from 2022 onwards.
Removed by mod
First link is paywalled, seems to be an interview talking explicitly about what I’m saying: the concerns for genocide have gone down in the last years, likely due to the lack of evidence of the continuation of the claims that Adrian Zenz made some half decade ago. The interviewee seems to be a member of a US government institution (idk I’m not USian), and since the article is paywalled, i can’t see any study or any new information on what’s going on in Xinjiang.
Second link is simply a link to a debate? Like, it claims without providing any sources or citing any study, that millions of Uyghur are experiencing atrocities. How’s that evidence?
Third link quite clearly says “2021”, both on the URL and on the article as you open it.
Can you please, bring any new, sourced information, from 2022 onwards, of the current situation of the “Uyghur genocide” in Xinjiang?
The claims of genocide against Uyghurs originated from
and have been supported by 
since and rejected by most rest of the world. also committed a genocide in Namibia and killed up to as many as 150,000 people over a century ago. The mechanisms and media was also used as a “blueprint” for the Holocaust/Final Solution.Fast forward to the present,
starts wailing at Namibia for establishing closer ties with China and the then-president Habe Geingob very openly accusing of 
, stating that China never belittles or infantilises them. Of course, Namibia (and South Africa) obviously rejects the claims of genocide against Uyghurs. starts yet another extermination campaign against Palestine, with very clear goals of a Final Solution. in response, starts sending hundreds of millions of Euros in aid to . Worth noting that also supports the Uyghur genocide claims with the words “Free Uyghurs” written on the bombs being launched at apartment towers, hospitals, mosques and UN schools.So South Africa finally takes the violent Nazi brat
to court and immediately goes into 
, screaming at South Africa while Namibia tells the 
Olaf SSchwanz to sit down.Meanwhile, China is not starving or bombing the Uyghurs, nor have they been forced into an extermination camp the size of municipal Johannesburg. Life expectancy, literacy rates, incomes, education have all increased. Homes now all have electricity, hot water and working toilets, there’s widespread access to primary and higher education, medical treatment and is now united with the rest of China by high-speed rail. Infant mortality and crime has dropped significantly. There has not been a terror attack in nearly a decade and the desperation fueled by poverty is no longer present. Xinjiang is also now a highly important hub for mechanised agriculture and industry. The Belt and Road runs through it and in recent times, large quantities of lithium, oil and other valuable minerals have been found in the province. Uyghur culture is also frequently promoted on Chinese media and tourism both domestic and foreign, has grown. Uyghurs also have Chinese citizenship. China has also finally supported South Africa’s case in the ICJ.
Hope that clears it up for you. If not, then
Death to America
Uyghurs also have Chinese citizenship.
Did they not have Chinese citizenship before? That’s the only part of your comment I found surprising.
I think they just mean in contrast to Israel’s policies on Palestinians in the lands it settles.
They always had Chinese citizenship.
Added that because a common redditor talking point is throwing the “settler-colonization” accusation in the mix
Idk why you libs come here an act so smugly superior when you have nothing of substance to retort are arguments with, you just declare their apparent superiority of your opinions and scold us for not realizing their self-evident correctness.
Seriously they’re fucking children.
“Oh yea, well what’s your take?”
several paragraphs of analysis with historical context and a focus on concrete actions taken by both sides without relying on political statements
“uhhhhhh nuh uh”
They’re just as fucking stupid as chuds except that chuds know they’re being stupid on purpose to annoy you, libs are dumber than dogshit while also being a smug asshole and infantilizing you.

I have a give and take relationship with people on the internet.
Yeah “nothing then” is giving to the detailed reply you received
“Respect me while I act like a smug dipshit”
Lol, no. You started acting like a child, and strangers online who know better than you are under no obligation to wipe your stupid ass for you. Read a single book or stop your whining, loser.

Ukraine had no business attacking children in Donbas.
LMFAO Liberal Einstein here,doing “experiments”
Also,“the” Ukraine? Madonn!
Changed it for you. And I knew someone was going to go for the bait. Remember, this is an international forum and we need to conduct ourselves appropriately.
Also Einstein was a genius, so it’s not much of an insult to get compared to him. Kind of flattered honestly
Also Einstein was a genius
I’m shocked that no one has taken this low-hanging fruit yet: https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/
I was thinking of mentioning that,but it will probably fly over their head like a Hezbollah rocket over an Israeli settlement
So just so we’re on the same page, what was your point in providing this article?
I just thought an Einstein fan might be interested in reading his thoughts on communism, and Hexbear would be the place where people point it out as a board of communists who have a shortlist of articles that they reflexively post (Ask someone about brainwashing next). It has no bearing on the alleged uyghur genocide stuff.
in
it’s for you to not read, just ilke you won’t read https://redsails.org/the-xinjiang-atrocity-propaganda-blitz/
and then keep flapping your ignorant mouth repeating the same embarrassing lies that get broadcast on TV as if we haven’t heard them. then we bring up easily verifiable facts and information you’ve never heard in mass media, and you ignore it because you’re a spoiled western chauvinist who just wants the treats to keep flowing
He was being sarcastic you dingus
Hey be nice, it’s an international forum lol
Funny how the mind of the western barbars can’t comprehend that this place isn’t another internet space dominated by the American monoculture
I’m not the one throwing shit at everyone in the thread in order to make terrible actions by a country look better
I’m only throwing shit at you, you crybaby
Something something rubber and glue. I don’t know. This deserves low effort
You are the only one getting shit thrown at you. This isn’t a struggle session, it’s not a flame war. It’s all of us against just you. Because you’re wrong and are annoying about it This is the forum equivalent of being brought into town square so people can throw rotten food at you.
Oh sorry. Context is difficult with just text. Let me retry. “Oh no! Sarcasm! My only weakness. I’ve been defeated!”
If I had to guess I would say all social interaction is your weakness
Oho,I admit,I’m flattered you decided to take time out of your day to look through my posting history to dunk on me
Credit where credit is due
Now,with all due respect,you can fuck off with that smug attitude you westoid fuck
The gall of these smug little reddiors is astounding
Seeing as you saw fit to look through my comments,I think you might have seen that I literally live next to “the” Ukraine
I saw the Russians drone strike cities from my own house and I still think uwu smol bean Ukraine should lose this war on account of the being a puppet of the NATO reich and because they have become a Mecca for nazis of all stripes
I hate NATO,I hate Ukraine and I despise Israel
The fascist world order will collapse and you smarmy little fucks can do nothing about it, except piss yourselves on the internet and epically bait and pwn le evil commies
Yup. I’m smug and you’re a hypocrite who is ok with innocent Ukrainian civilians getting killed by an invasion force that has no business being there. Think about that. You want civilians to die for world politics
You want civilians to die for world politics
You say this like “politics” is some nebulous, worthless thing. People typically want wars that are disruptive of the status quo because they view it as the only way to change systems in which, e.g., a much greater number of civilians live under brutal oppression, as their grandparents did and their grandchildren will if the state machinery is not smashed. You’re like the people who bemoan the Haitian Revolution because some white families died with no concern for the fact that it was a slave state and the revolution stopped, it cannot be stressed enough, the continuous, literal chattel enslavement of an entire country’s worth of people.
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
– Mark Twain on France’s “Reign of Terror”
The implication that there are premature deaths that are not in some way political is also silly.
Who’s being enslaved in Ukraine? It’s not comparable
Notice I also brought up France, where people were not chattel slaves but living in oppression and fought a revolution that conservatives still have not forgiven them for.
So the question is “What humanitarian issues are you saying would actually get better by Russia invading?” And my answer is that the Euromaidan coup government was culturally repressing the better part of eastern Ukraine, which was the material basis for their revolting against the Ukrainian government, which resulted in an eight year war of the slaughtering of civilians and journalists in the east with indiscriminate bombing and shooting. Russia’s victory over Ukraine is the best chance they have to live without cultural repression or slaughter.
Quick question,do you support Hamas?
Yes.
Nope. I don’t understand why people think that one side needs to be right
It’s less about being “right” and more about which side is conducting a settler colonial genocide
Doctor RomCom diagnoses you with a classic case of
you’re a hypocrite who is ok with innocent Ukrainian civilians getting killed by an invasion force
You are literally okay with things like your genocide of Palestinians, your atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, etc., colonialism in general.
And now you’re just assuming. You got anything of substance to say or are we just going to keep doing this dance?
And now you’re just assuming
Quick question,do you support Hamas?
Nope. I don’t understand why people think that one side needs to be rightYou have admitted that you do not support a resistance to a genocide, and you don’t understand why resistance to a genocide is just.
But hey, sure, let’s hear how much you don’t support the rest of the things that I listed, despite uncritically regurgitating your empire’s propaganda (even though your empire has admitted to having no evidence to support it).
You literally argue like a 13 year old. Calling people Einstein sarcastically isn’t new, it goes at least as fat back as 1997 when a talking bird used it that way in star fox 64 and I understood the phrase and what it meant at age 6. By pretending what is clearly sarcasm is a genuine comparison between you and Einstein is patently absurd and you aren’t making yourself come off as at all clever, it comes off as a desperate child who knows he’s losing and has decided that being obstinate is a replacement for wit, rhetoric or a basic understanding of the topic. You’re infantile.
Actually I don’t wear glasses
Such a fucking redditor jesus christ. Why even come to Lemmy at that point? Just stay on reddit
They’re literally the
emojiI am whatever you say I am
You really like to throw “go back to reddit” around a lot. It’s getting borderline unoriginal
No one is saying it to be clever; they mean it in a very literal and practical way because they see you as belonging on Reddit.
Life must be hard for these guys who just can’t imagine a second reason to say something other than as a performance for updoots
👍 Thanks GarbageShoot
First time I’m saying that to a non-LW user.
You get that alot ig? I can see why.
“If you want capitalist propaganda you can go back to reddit lol”
Fair that it only happened twice, but weird that it happened twice
Yeah I can really see why you get that alot
You really like to throw “go back to reddit” around a lot. It’s getting borderline unoriginal
Yeah cuz this is so goddamn original
Let’s do an experiment. Russia had no business attacking Ukraine
Never said it was original. Good effort though
Little weird to criticize others for unoriginality when you lack it so much yourself
Obomba had no business overthrowing the democratically elected Viktor Yakunovich
- had no business being nazi fucks murdering their own people and working for to provoke Russia
Okay.
That’s just objectively wrong tho
They’re handling decades worth of unfinished business right now
That’s a statement not an experiment
WHAT ABOUT ISM MUCH!!!111?!?1;1!?;1!1?1!1!11?1?1?!1!1?1?1?1!1!!1!1!1?1?1??1!1!1!11!?1?1!1?1?1
oppa gangnam style
So now you like ethnic cleansing?
this post has remained up for well over 24 hours, and you have received an number of good faith responses to your statement and follow up queries - responses which demonstrate more effort and thought than your replies, to be honest.
has your hypothesis been proven?
You’re completely correct.
However, the West had no business provoking a land war in Europe.
Can you agree with that as well?
