    hilarious how the Uyghur shit basically boils down to “they have prisons!”

    ok America, are we anti prison now? oh wait, no, only anti communist prisons. Prisons in america are freedom, prisons in China are oppression. I do love when Americans pretend to give a shit about the same ethnic groups they will bomb the shit out of in the blink of an eye.

      Yes, but they’re so secretive that I have zero evidence, but this is in itself evidence of their deviousness. Debate me debate me debate me

    They forgot the far-left-wing academics in that line.

    It’s a line of countries. Is this idiot saying we should get a homeland of our own? Who do we get to kick out of their homes?

    Nonono you see, the Uyghur genocide is real, those sneaky Chinese are just really really good at hiding it! The lack of evidence is actually proof that it’s happening and really shows how sneaky those Chinese are!!!

    I hope that doesn’t become a real take at any point.

      But there’s overwhelming evidence of Israel committing genocide against Palestinians, you say? That’s just childish, it’s more complicated than that!

      Too late, I’ve already heard this one multiple times, both from Lemmy libs and IRL.

      It is kind of satisfying to get them to that point though, shows that deep down, the only thing fueling them is just blind racism, no actual empathy for the people of Xinjiang.

    Every Muslim-majority country has sent representatives to both Palestine and Xinjiang, and come to the same conclusion. It’s only anglos who refuse to sent delegations to either and insist on the opposite of reality.

    Islamic state inspired islamic terrorist movement? That’s their traditional culture and trying to stop it is genocide.

    Uygur culture is poverty. Trying to promote economic prosperity? That’s a genocide.

    Jobs program = slavery

    Education/training = cultural genocide

    birth control = forced sterilization

    prisons = extermination camps

    government sponsored cultural events = co-option and cultural genocide

    China is so good at covering up the mass slaughter that all we have is this video of a community college type building, where they are FORCED to go to, and it may not look that remarkable on it’s own… but if we play sinister sounding music over the footage… yep, damn right that’s a genocide.

    US Governent, please, my people yearn for freedom, send 100k to my venmo account.

    It’s literally just Zenz that actually bangs the drum, huh? I guess he’s worried paychecks won’t be coming his way if it’s not longer the hot button issue.

      Uighur Genocide fell out of fashion after the US pull-out of Afghanistan. We’ve been through people screaming at leftists for supporting the Taliban, people screaming at leftists for supporting Vladimir Putin, people screaming at leftists for supporting Big Pharma…

      The Israeli Genocide is putting China so far into the rear view mirror. Its impossible to get a word in edgewise over the latest horror.

    Lmao! It’s funny because I told my S.O. last night how you should do a side by side of people supporting Israel right now with their comments on the Uyghurs.

    If you are in the US you need to politely shut the fuck up about whatever the hell may or may not be going on in China and either:

    A) Focus on the shit your own country is directly complicit in and helping to facilitate,

    Or

    B) admit that it that it was always cynical bullshit and that you don’t give a shit about the lives of Muslims.

    Those are your options.

    4chan and all the western world were celebrating the Charlottesville shooting, everyone in my shitty ass hometown was laughing at the victims of the shooting. Like the good little minions they are, they all did crocodile tears over the Uyghurs.

    Sorry we think brown people deserve to live even if the funny internet pictures say they don’t.
