I don't understand the desire from western leftists to jump to their defense, it's not like they're providing robust social services to their citizens or anything.

If ted cruz appeared in my butter, with a tonsil stone, you better believe i'm throwing that poo poo out

the tonsil stone is an evolutionary defense mechanism. you have to overcome your innate aversion to it in order to eat Ted Cruz, the only way of destroying him.

Sees a Chinese-produced video of a visibly nervous Uyghur man, being watched by Chinese officials, proclaiming that so-called concentration camps are voluntary education centres, just with huge walls and barbed wire for extra peace of mind for those inside: "Hmm, yes, I knew the western media was biased!"

could you link this video it sounds like humorous content

Tienanmen square protesters were genuine leftists protesting against Deng's turn away from Maoism who used the language of freedom, democracy in decidedly non-bourgeois ways. Hong Kong youth are overwhelmingly liberals, with some separatists and leftists of the good variety sprinkled in

if i thought for a second that there were a single poster on somethingawful who knew or gave a single gently caress about this and was not already posting in cspam as a non-white-noise poster outside of megathreads i'd post a thread like this in d&d or somesuch because the composition and crackdown surrounding tienanmen is actually fascinating in illustrating the fault lines in a nation that tries oh-so-very hard to project the image of One China but right now the standard in d&d is "people are being abducted off the streets of xinjiang and their organs scooped out in the vans, no i have no sources for this claim but there are Many Such Cases" and its just allowed like any old flavor of the month bullshit is okay, so idk maybe when the blizzard gamers cool off and forget where and how most of the world lives or whatever.

I love the eastern europeans 30 years on from their own revolutions being like "omg why does our society still loving suck?"

also the loudest, most annoying liberals from those societies have largely fled to the west anyway. pulling down the iron curtain was never about improving their own countries, but fleeing from them and from the people

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.

my favorite bit of the organ harvesting myth is that it has its own self-serving internal logic, because it's almost always alleged that they're targeting Falun Gong, and Falun Gong is targeted for organ harvesting specifically because their New Age lifestyles give them naturally healthier organs.

Was the organ harvesting evolved from "waking up in hotel bathtub with a missing kidney" urban legend? That was about 20 years before "copypasta".

it just feeds into sinophobia as a response, since people aren't equipped to properly frame the "kowtowing to Beijing" as a problem of capitalism

China being able to become a global naval power would take a Hell of a lot more than projecting power into the south China Sea. In fact, they wouldn't even need the South China Sea to begin with. It's all about getting leases for naval bases.
