everything is black and white so we gotta choose sides like a football match like it matters, revolutionary tankie or pro interventionalist liberal?

will you accept, on your moral conscience, of siding for the team that has killed 1 million dead iraqis or 1 million dead uighurs?

there's no middle grounds in a revolution, its either capitalism or communism

Join up with your Uyghur bretheren to ethnically cleanse Shias and Christians from Syria. The United States thanks you for your service.

Unless this thread is full of caliphate fans that you are referring to, this post is in extremely loving bad taste. Associating people who are worried about the ethnicity in abstract with the individuals who went to Syria is just designating them as a terrorist people. And that is unashamed justification for genocide, cultural or otherwise, because what else could one do about a terrorist people? In conclusion, this is straight-up netanyahuposting, I would be terrified if you were a Chinese official.

I'm glad someone is talking about what I tried to talk about, but the teams aren't nearly that simplistic. I would just like to hear about a real existing faction in the struggle that genuinely deserves support. You know how people who say "Trump bad" without going any further are really telling others to "vote blue no matter who"? "China bad" works the same way, it means "support anyone putting pressure on China" unless it's specified otherwise. Who are the good resistance that I should support? It doesn't matter if they're small and weak, or don't aspire for anything like communism, they just have to be progressive in relation to what exists there right now. And we should be in agreement about that the bar to be better isn't terribly high, even though we disagree on how low exactly it is.

I'm not at all implying that factions worthy of supporting don't exist, I'm pointing at how literally no one has bothered to do the work to find one faction that they could confidently name and tell people to support. That's the big hint that no one in this thread has actually shown any solidarity with the Uyghurs yet: everyone has been concerned about using them as accessories to fashion themselves an online look or some intellectual wanking material.

Let me remind some people the Nazis didn't originally intend to kill all the Jews. They wanted to maximize the use of the Jew labor by kept them working while gave them the minimal amount of food

There was a British colonial study in India of how little calories you could give a person while keep him working for 12 hour, 14 hour a day from a few decades earlier. And the answer they got was like 700 calories a day or something insane low number. The Nazis was awared of it and designed their camps around this idea.

I think killing a bunch of minority population off ultimately doesn't make sense for a government unless the government is very religious or radicalized. Or in the Nazis case, knew they won't be in power for long and wanted to do all the terrible things when they still could.

You're talking about working people to death. They studied getting the most out of people who are being worked to death, how to preserve their basic capacity to work while they burn out their body's energy reserves in a span of months or possibly even over a year, keel over and die because their bodies started catabolizing their vital organs for sustenance. Feed people too little, and they become unhealthy and weak long before they run out of their actual energy reserves.

Yes, you can work people to death without aiming to kill every last one of them. It just requires you to split society into two: one side reproduces people and fills them with energy reserves, the other captures them and works them until they run out of reserves and die. It's like the most basic form of genocide that has been part and parcel of colonialism: one just robs the people the exact same way they rob the land.

If China was working people to death as policy, we would be seeing such an incredible amount of corpses being carried off to mass graves that unless all those mass graves that should be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people have been dug indoors, spy satellites would have an easy time finding dirt on the Chinese.

The US government also doesn't impose a one-child restriction on african-americans, and promotes affirmative action, therefore how can they be systematically racist?

Unless the solution is for Trump to handpick black people for congressional seats, whom aren't allowed to deviate from his administration in any way and must attend sessions wearing their best traditional african garb. Maybe we can learn from China

but China enforced the child restrictions on the mainland long before this current one, this argument doesnt make sense

I don't think you know what the word 'objectively' means...and that's bad because you use it incorrectly a lot.

Tibet is another example of Chinese imperialism. Much like Xinjiang, the region is too far gone to be helped by outside forces without causing more harm than good. What was done there and is still being done there is hosed up tho.
