That could all just be discussed in D&D or CSPAM if you were feeling particularly ornery. I would think a GBS thread about China would just be, "Look what street food I just got in Guangzhou!" or something like that. Seems kinda weird after all the Trump threads were rightfully evicted from here, but whatever, not my call.

Conflict of interest, n'est pas? Like, the drat title is "The Tankie Who Cried Imperialism" over a thread title "I want to make a yard sale but i'm too lazy." Seems kinda bullshit to me! Why can't you guys just stick to what tourist sites to visit like normal people?

I guess it's whatever since euphronious has his weird NBA thread in CSPAM, but I haven't been on the site for months, I'm just surprised GBS is getting back to being political is all. It's fine, honestly a GBS thread about I/P back in 2014 significantly changed my opinion on the situation, but it does seem kinda lame that you need not one but two forums to bitch about China in. And I say that as someone who think there's definitely crimes against humanity going on against the Uighurs, and that's horrifying and something I hope is rectified somehow soon.

Ups_rail posted:Remember when Genesplicer closed the china thread because a Canadian goon, posted about getting fired from the indian reservation school for racial reasons. Me on both counts. a. Didn't get fired. Just had to apologize that a video we watched on human migration didn't mention a giant turtle. b. Genesplicer is the real racist because he probed people using the real "N word" half as long as me, inferring that he believes black people are lesser humans than Asians.

That's because in CSPAM (and apparently QCS now if there's a big enough mob) you get a ban + 30 for saying that maybe CCP neglect was a contributing factor in the Covid-19 pandemic while if you deny the Uigher genocide you get made an IK

At least I can say that here without catching a wild rear end ban. It's also. Like how can people forget what China did do the doctor (s) that tried to blow the whistle on the poo poo? I know its been a long year but god drat.

Even China acknowledges the early pandemic fuckups (which they pawned off onto local officials of course) and they're documenting all the poo poo they're doing in Xinjiang themselves china has their own large scale "mycrimes.txt" yet apparently we aren't supposed to believe our lying eyes anymore

They also got really pissed when they saw a Mongolian girl hunting with an eagle in a YouTube video and demanded to know how that was allowed since she wasn't First Nations. I explained that she didn't have to abide by Canada's laws since she lived in a different country and that other cultures have traditions and practices involving nature and animals.

Which one would think would be as far from a disharmonious topic as one could get. As much as there is a general sense of "The CCP are poopy." in this thread, and a collective understanding that genocide IS happening in Xinjiang, I have never thought of it as political.
