can we please choose our mods instead of whoever is acceptable to the mods and admins and d&d posters

unlikely, given that upwards of one of the administrators is hostile to us and has handed down heavy handed retribution in defense of his fragile sense of self esteem

seeing as how this website ain't a democracy, if The Management has it in for us, we don't have a lot of options

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
i'm guessing the mods think they're doing the equivalent of probating or banning people for holocaust denial or similar hate speech. personally i think it's fine to just evacuate that kind of thing from the forums by executive fiat; the real question is how to get across the idea that they are unknowingly furthering racism when they think they're quashing it

i think the mods aren't actually scholars in any meaningful sense and so are falling back on cultural knowledge which is ultimately whatever the state department says

and state does not care at all what's true or just. countries that are majority slave states are good because of realpolitik. brutally murder and chop a journalist up in an embassy? bomb & starve a nation? just a whoopsy doodle because of oil and arms sales

this is to say i think it's foolish to think you'll reason anyone out of this one. no power means no one has to really listen. you'd be asking someone to believe that the news & gov't & media are full of poo poo, and that's not something you logic someone into

You should be more specific with this, because even the Xinjiang scholars who've gone all-in on the genocide designation have no problem saying things were much better before 2009.

how many Turkic flash mobs does DC have

apparently this was organized by a DC nonprofit called national awakening: http://nationalawakening.org

it is run by Salih Hudayar, the 27-year old president in exile (unelected) of east Turkestan


fun facts:

- The University of Oklahoma (BS in International Studies and Political Science)
- Masters in National Security Studies, American Military University (ongoing)
- Oklahoma Army National Guard, Private First Class, 179th Infantry Regiment
- From a business family
-Senior capstone: “From Central Asia to the Uyghurs: Refining the American Grand Strategy."


quote:

In the summer of 2017, Hudayar founded the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement and moved from Oklahoma to Washington, DC to engage in human rights and political advocacy.[13] He is widely known as the Founder and President of the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement. In early 2018, Hudayar began to meet with members of Congress and advocate for the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act and since June 4, 2018, he has led weekly demonstrations in front of the US Capitol building and the White House to protest China's policy in Xinjiang.

What a go-getter!
