That's one-for-one the same scam Twitter tried to run on the Grayzone by tagging any links to their article as "These materials may have been obtained through hacking".

The article in question was an expose on how the UK government was sponsoring attempts by the BBC and Reuters to broadcast regime-change propaganda against Russia.

This would result in some amusing uses of the tag:

https://twitter.com/genius_posting/status/1364727802969350144

The basic idea is that they cannot dispute the findings, so they attack the messenger: you're supposed to learn to doubt or disregard the claims made not because they aren't true, but because the person saying it is supposedly saying it with a direct political agenda.

This is, of course, bullshit: of course the Grayzone wants to uncover that the UK is involved in regime change operations, and of course they want to uncover that the BBC and Reuters are not "unbiased" or "neutral" media organizations. For people to be aware of that is a good thing! You don't just get to throw out the message just because the implications make your world-view uncomfortable!

the reason why the establishment went along with the Pentagon Papers was because it made the Pentagon look bad.

Snowden's own expose made the NSA look bad.

Chelsea Manning's leaked documents made the US Army look bad.

Even the Iran-Contra investigations only went as far as the specific deals for the arms to Iran, in exchange for money to go to the Contras. Did Congress ever look into who the Contras were and how they got there? Of course not.

I have noticed Xinjiang news on r/worldnews getting slightly more questions and criticism on the Zenz. However I do not know if netizens are getting more educated or there are just more Chinese getting online.

We're the genocide denying forum because apparently only "tankie" are able to put geopolitics into context and actually dig into the so-called evidence of genocide.

look it's simple, the Chinese government is making up entire towns worth of people and jailing anyone who goes 'wait what no that's fake', and have hidden mass graves that are unable to be seen from the massive international web of surveillance aircraft that pass over the area daily, and from the many people who can just freely come and go in the area too. We know they're doing this because of reports from a group prominently featuring a man who wants to 'Christianize China' that mainly use reports from Kazaks, a group not being claimed to be genocided in the region, and literal drawings of 'wouldn't it be bad if they were doing this???' because nobody can provide actual pictures or the like.

Ten years ago liberals bigged themselves up on being "reality" or "truth based" in opposition to conservative ideology, but now reality is inconvenient for their own meager political agenda that can only advance interests on the margins at best - therefore truth is now a subjective instrument with political weight and you can deny it so long as it serves "progress." They're all so transparently cynical and only for the most pathetic reasons. It's loving infuriating. None of what they're doing this for is even worth it.

There are still plenty of posters in C-SPAM who absent mindedly accept the genocide consensus. You shouldn't mistake this thread for some kind of totalizing CSPAM viewpoint.

That is a verbatim quote from a conversation with a friend of mine, as if it's like magic and reading an article instantly transforms you into a Red Guard.

lib brained people have been taught by our barbarian 17th century metaphysics we call science that reality is not objective but subjectively based on our experiences

we do not subjectively interpret the objective world but the world is nothing but an abstraction of a consensus reality

so the lib brained barbarian believes that the most important abstraction, words, will change reality. words referencing other words referencing other words. But never reality itself

my god, what if you reference the wrong words? reality shifts consensus is imperiled the center cannot hold!

Obviously it's always been the case to this or that extent, but it feels like the liberal distortion of reality really took off during the obama era and the reporting and cheering of the destruction of libya and syria (which the state department cosplaying freaks in d&d loved and sucked off brown moses for). Russiagate and then the hysteria over china continued from there.

I was listening to the RWN episode on the bangladesh independence war, and they played a clip from nbc or some other mainstream american broadcaster from 1971 that ran sharply against US government policy (which was backing pakistan's genocide there to the hilt). It's impossible to imagine consistent mainstream reporting today that's overtly adversarial to the aims of the natsec blob - witness how quickly the guardian was neutralized after the snowden leaks

I listened to a bunch of it yesterday to try to understand the appeal and it’s exactly this, not really better produced musically but they put out much better stage shows/videos than most acts. also there’s a lot more tv/streaming integration than American acts which helps build a strong allegiance

quote:

Unsurprisingly, the authors find that the southern samples from Fujian seem most similar to Austronesians. Today no one from these regions is “pure” southern. Rather, they are a mix. The Austronesians migrated out early enough that they carry southern East Asian ancestry exclusively. This recapitulates a common phenomenon where the ancestral “homeland” of a given group changes over time, reducing the ability to infer origins (e.g., the percentage of “Middle Eastern” ancestry in Southern Europe was underestimated because Anatolian farmers were partially replaced in Anatolia by migrants from the east).

What is the overall takeaway? I think this confirms the other early papers that East Asia exhibits more continuity with its past that Europe and South Asian, rather like West Asia. While Europeans and South Asians have substantial ancestry from profoundly intrusive groups during the Holocene, the Han Chinese are in many ways “sons of the soil.” They did to some extent marginalize and absorb many other peoples in the modern area of “China proper”, and are themselves as a compound of two ancestral streams, but at the end of the last Ice Age, more than 90% of their ancestors were living within the boundaries of China proper.
