Tankies:

All genocides are bad! Don't vote democrats!

Everyone else:

Yeah we hate the genocides in Palestine, Ukraine and of the Uyghurs in China.

Tankies:

Where is your proof that Ukraine and Uyghurs are being genocided?

    I have one account that follows me around to write variations of this comment:

    "We know what genocide looks like. It’s inescapable. You can’t have a secret genocide. There would be evidence of genocide if there was genocide. I can’t believe this has to be explained to clowns"

    And that's all their post history is.

    I always have mixed feelings. Like, is it my duty towards a healthy forum to downvote this guy, and therefore I shouldn’t block him?

    I don’t have the energy though. I usually end up blocking people like that.

    Is it empireindecay and that other account that's somehow always in the same thread as him at the same time and saying the same things? They even necropost together. It would be so weird if they were actually different people...

    does it change the fact that there is no conclusive evidence to claim there is a genocide being carried out in xinjiang?

    most of these allegations against the perceived adversaries of west by liberals is just to lighten their guilt or to say be more morally right, far from truth just emotions

    You dont have time to produce proof? Or are you so into believing whatever the western chauvinist capitalist imperialist media tells you?

    There is unjust prosecution of minorities? sure. Like every other state. Is there a genocide? no proof whatsoever and never ever compare it with whats going on in palestine, that would be real genocide denial

    This guy tricked China into letting him tour the camps, saying he wanted to see if western media was lying, then he came back and says they're putting people in concentration camps for praying, or being Muslim:

    Other states aren't doing this, don't normalize this please.

    Concentration camps != Extermination camps. The nazis had both. They also did forced sterilization in those camps. But the latter camps also had gas chambers.

    The US interned American Natives / American Indians and Japanese people in concentration camps. At least for the former group, they also carried out forced sterilization, settled and exploited their land, and stole their children away for "re-education". They did not build gas chambers or any other means of industrial slaughter, but few people would deny that the US committed genocide against the Native population of that continent.

    It's well documented that contraception, sterilization, and possibly abortion, are forced upon the Uyghur people in Xinjiang. Uyghur people but not Han Chinese are being interned in concentration camps in, at the time, the "largest mass incarceration of an ethnic-religious minority since second world war" (Guardian, 2019). Uyghur children are being transfered to boarding schools against the will of their parents and guardians, or because those have been interned for having too many children in the first place. Multiple Chinese government officials have repeatedly affirmed the goal of reducing Uyghur fertility. At a minimum, this constitutes 3 out of the 5 possible criteria for a genocide, each of which alone is sufficient to make that accusation. We have not yet seen mass killing of Uyghurs, but that doesn't mean there's no genocide. As has been said in this discussion: "We know what genocide looks like." Exactly: It commonly looks quite like this.

    lol.

    wikipedia

    ok.

    bbc

    ok.

    Goal of reducing fertility isnt inherently wrong if it is done through education and awareness, I also support anti religious campaign through those methods.

    I have a better time smashing my face into a brick wall and in the end the brick wall has a better chance of changing their minds.

    Peace out genocide denialist!
