I mean, I suppose I agree with the implied question, which is that "genocide" is an imprecise and inaccurate term for what China is doing.

I mean I explicitly call it ethnic cleansing in that post and compare it to some of the worst crimes in recent history across the world but sure, you can fail to understand a semantic/rhetorical argument and interpret that as “therefore this is fine lol.”

Yeah. One of the first things I saw in China was the Chengguan screaming at homeless people and street vendors to shoo them out of tourist areas. They're not above just beating the poo poo out of poor people to make them go away either.I guess some things are universal.

its almost as if no one actually cares about the literal legal and rhetorical meanings of the word genocide and the extent to which they actually apply to the ughyur concentration camps and the entire reductive argument that the thread is full of genocide deniers is just a very ironically shitposty attempt to silence any discourse that tries to discuss the issue on a more complex level than gently caress china

It's super important to the thread, and also to the discourse, that whenever someone brings up the Uighur situation that we change the subject to American crimes, and talk about that instead.

People are denying genocide in Xinjiang because the facts aren't consistent with a policy of trying to wipe out a nation, by any means. Not in body or culture. There's all sorts of other comparisons that could be made, like Japanese internment during WW2 or the Mau Mau concentration camps in British Kenya - where people were rounded up en masse as suspected fifth columns. But China's policies just aren't consistent with other genocides in the historical record. Forcing Uighurs into becoming party loyalists and indoctrinating them with Chinese civic ideology may be hamfisted and draconian, but it's not a genocide.

This talk matters, because if what's happening in Xinjiang is of equal import to the Holocaust or the Armenian genocide, like bloodnose tries to put it - then it behooves us to end it. That means sanctions, it means war, and it means regime change. If you're not willing to overthrow China and liberate the Uighurs, then you're not really serious about the problem of genocide. bloodnose at least, as a state department lackey, is ideologically consistent. That's a lot more than can be said for other posters itt who view the Uighurs as just another weapon in their posting wars.

If there's an actually existing genocide going on in Xinjiang, then screaming at people for being genocide deniers while not being willing to attack the Chinese state only normalizes genocide as a matter of course in international affairs.
