I think people like the chapos and hasan and such are unquestionably really useful gateway drugs to the left. but I mean, once you’re in you’ve gotta start leveling yourself up to the point where you can be a bit critical about their analysis, because they are not always trustworthy lol. I think Matt usually has pretty solid reads on things but still, better to treat these guys as entertainment first

It's cool how unsubstantiated complete fantasy claims keep getting used against good posters on this forum and yet the people who instigated The Troubles are free and many are still mods. Or how long it took before someone decided to out Taintrunner etc. This forum is so loving backwards.

Probably the wrong thread for it but there's concrete, damning, silver bullet evidence out there supporting claims of uyghur genocide right?

Like it's definitely not the one dude who admitted there was no evidence but said he could find some if the BBC paid him, but it's gotta be something big if questioning it is bannable? Could someone point me in the right direction so I don't look like a jackass?

to be clear zenz is the organ harvesting guy and navalny is the google maps brown moses guy and one of the main sources for the most incredulous claims about chinas legitimate oppression of uighurs

his bullshit just muddies the waters of a hosed-up situation and he should go back to jacking off to the book of revelations

Really the main problem arises because genocide to Americans is completely different to genocide as it is used with reference to Uyghurs. In the letter, it is true (cultural genocide), but in the spirit we have come to conceive it as, it is not. That's why the right wing thing of "China is the new Nazi's" falls flat on its face because they are not heir to the cultural/govermental lineage which in time helped give rise to the Nazi brand we are familiar with. We're used to the raping, looting, pillaging, economic disintegration, torture, famine, disease and so on as our method of genocide. The brutality doesn't even come close to our style, which is obviously now out of fashion lol. Our proud Scot's-Irish boys back in the 1700's did too good a job :911:

the saddening part about the whole uyghur response in the west is that it is completely disconnected from two key concepts:

Will our actions make things more better than worse?

Will our actions save lives?

If the response was “the US must open our borders, and negotiate away things China wants in exchange for allowing Uyghurs to emigrate to the US” that would at least be actually trying to save people.

But instead the response is all about punishing China somehow, either assuming that will make them stop, or in a sense of justice unrelated to reality. Either way, it is very iffy to imagine that sanctioning China will do much in the way of helping anyone and always risks hurting people.

If we “punish” some Chinese officials but don’t stop whatever evils are occurring, isn’t that just making us complicit?

If you’re someone who thinks this is or will be as bad as the Holocaust, how on earth could you advocate for sanctions against Germany or banning Himmler from banking in the US?

Why isn’t giving China concessions to save Uyghur lives never considered an option?

there isn't, no. there's vague rumors of everything from displacement or ethnic removal (probably true) to 'reeducation', whatever that means in this context, to outright extermination and poo poo like the Chinese government running concentration camps as breeding facilities to sell orphans abroad.


but it's almost impossible to get reliable info about anything the Chinese government does because it's so loving filtered by state department psychopaths. if you ask me there's probably some fairly immoral cultural erasure and displacement happening but since there isn't reports of people showing up on china's land borders with no documents I'm going to say that whatever china is doing is therefore less immoral and cruel than the American ethnic removal campaign going on, so focusing on it is the act of a coward to afraid to face themself.
