I understand this is just a dumb website but this weird line on what is and isn't a concentration camp is complete bullshit. gently caress every single dumbfuck mod and admin for falling for this blatant propaganda. And how fat is fluffdaddy?

it's a stark contrast to, you know, last year, when people were talking about this, or two years ago, when people were giving a real concentrated poo poo about it as well

hey, the press secretary said they were 'facilities' which is definitely not cages anymore, and therefore it's no longer a concentration camp

imagine there was a popular trump-leaning forum on the internet and in their main politics discussion they banned calling them concentration camps under the justification it made people hysterical

Calling them concentration camps makes it hard for the pro- and anti-camp sides to find a middle ground, presumably on which to build more camps.

Any particular focus? "China" is a pretty diverse topic so if you mean economic then look into critiques of Dengism and the move to state capitalism, if you mean cultural then look into stuff about Han supremacy, if about the governmental style then... tbh even Wikipedia can show you how comically onion-layered the system is.

Can probably give better/specific answers if you have a particular focus.

no, not on the public internet, and while this is probably a well-intentioned question it is misguided. witness the massacre in atlanta this week. as a leftist on the public internet, your line should be 1) gently caress america and 2) gently caress whiteness

Weren't the majority of the victims Korean? I know that there's been this weird PRC tankie response to the racist serial murder about it being proof that anti-PRC propaganda caused this but if anything that's more a grossness on their end.

I'm assuming Yossarian asked because China clapped Biden's cheeks in Alaska today.
