      the best bit is:

      because they already reject a huge body of evidence that proves otherwise, they’ve stumbled into literally deconstructing their own Uighur genocide narrative with their own dogshit definitions

        they’ve already forgotten that ever happened

        until the next time they open a thread about China, at which point they’ll forget about Israel and Palestine

        the liberal brainpan can only conceptualise one completely individual idea at a time

        I think it’s a weak argument with the Uighur genocide to point to increasing population, but to be fair the full argument is that the population is increasing AND there’s no refugee crisis AND there’s literally no evidence of genocide at all that wasn’t just the made up ramblings of Adrian Zenz.

          There’s more Uyghurs, and they’re living longer, and they’re more educated, and they have better housing conditions, and they make more money, all taken together makes it very hard to make out genocide.

        Yeah if the government wanted to do a genocide why would they exclude the allegedly genocided minorities from the harsh population control laws. Like they’re literally making a law to decrease the population. You’d think that would be the perfect time to target it at minorities unfairly if you wanted to do genocide, but they didn’t.

      If it’s been this long, and nothing’s been done about that user, that community, or that community’s aggregated userbase, it can be reliably assumed the people who run the instance are in on the scam. sh.itsfulla.nazis.

      Why would they be scrubbed? Tankietarianism is extremely unpopular in imperial core countries, and goat’s response in that screenshot seems like the bog standard take anyone under 40 who isn’t a left wing extremist would have.

    Crikey, wouldja lookit that, a whole flock of Amerikan Peckerwoods (Mastigia album americanus) (not to be confused with Mastigia album britannica) in their natural habitat, and in their natural routine!

    Bits aside, I can’t believe people actually wanted to federate with filth like that.

    Rich coming from peoples who accuse US of genocide denial for not believing unsourced/fabricated narratives by the CIA and the literal NAZIs.

    they are intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure because they want to ethnically cleanse the region. they have said this again and again and again. The fucking “well what is a genocide, really?” when government officials are talking about how Palestinians aren’t human and need to be purged is such horseshit.

      The second dipshit trying to say you have to kill all of them for it to be genocide is also just wrong. The UN definition states that genocide is a variety actions taken “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

      What Israel is doing is genocide, with no room for debate, and both these people should get the barbara-pit

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen some smuglord connect xinjiang to people shooting down the growth rates charts on Gaza. It was used heavily by leftists as a point to cut through the Xinjiang bullshit.

    What they don’t seem to realise is that it worked for leftists there because forced sterilisation for the cause of an ethnic Han supremacist takeover was part of the myth, not just murdering 2 million people in non-existent industrial deathcamps that also didn’t show up in the numbers.

      I mean for that reason specifically that argument seemed very poorly reasoned to me. Makes it way too easy for them to retreat to less absurd claims of things that are still not happening, but still genocide, like forced secularization and cultural suppression.
