I know nothing about Holodomor or Xinjiang, nothing at all. I've been meaning to read into Xinjiang in particular, but it seems hard to untangle for me + i'm busy these days. I'm not "denying" shit i literally am just clueless about this, i'm not going to remove pro/anti-xinjiang comments while i don't know shit about it.
The fact that some tried to twist it into me "supporting genocide" is really fucking malicious. I haven't ever commented on it even once, even in my criticisms of china because i'm simply too uneducated to confidently say anything about it.
I am just looking over old posts because of some unrelated Lemmy drama, and I saw this. The UN report is pretty comprehensive and objective about it (according to most people aside from the Chinese government):

The report is pretty dense, but looking over the TOC and skimming individual sections can tell you a lot about what the underlying reality without particular spin from any particular side applied to it is. It doesn't use the word "genocide," which some people have used to say that it found "not genocide." Some people have extrapolated from the descriptions of family separation / limits on religious and cultural expression / sterilization / etc, to say of course it's genocide and they just didn't use the word. Other people disagree with that assessment for various reasons. But IDK, what's in the report is more or less the facts of what's happening as far as people can determine them without having to take anyone's word for it, I think.
