Hey look guys it's the one true leftist
Damn, I'm the only one who believes genocide is bad? That's a crying fucking shame. As if the world didn't give me enough reasons to be depressed.
Honestly the word gets thrown around so much that it's lost its power, especially when it's not backed up by anything other than 'i know they're doing genocide because I already dislike the people I'm accusing!'
It's not something people seem serious about, you'd think if actual genocide was happening in China people would want to share the evidence and it'd be a big thing and stuff but it's apparently been over a decade of industrial scale murder and no one has anything substantial or tangible to prove it, just 'trust me bro, my sworn ideological enemies are super bad in secret!'
Don't you think? I mean off the top of your head name the three bits of evidence that actually convinced you china is committing genocide- you can even cheat and Google
Okay, off the top of my head, without googling:
- Testimonies from people who escaped
- Satellite evidence of large labor camps
- Satellite evidence of villages becoming depopulated
- Testimonies from former workers in the camps
- Video of chained-up people being marched into camps
- That guy who said he bought "halal organs" from China
- That time at the UN when they accused China of attacking Uyghurs, and the CCP guy got all pissy and defensive, but didn't deny it
people would want to share the evidence
Almost as if there's an enormous state surveillance apparatus that will black-bag you if you talk? Let's not pretend China has freedom of speech here.
And I'm sure you could pick apart the claims and the sources, and find biases, and say we should give the CCP the benefit of the doubt, but there's really no reason to do so--what evidence is there that the CCP have changed their ways for the better?
It’s not something people seem serious about, you’d think if actual genocide was happening in China people would want to share the evidence and it’d be a big thing and stuff but it’s apparently been over a decade of industrial scale murder and no one has anything substantial or tangible to prove it, just ‘trust me bro, my sworn ideological enemies are super bad in secret!’
"There's no evidence!" cry the people who continuously reject the evidence presented.
Don’t you think? I mean off the top of your head name the three bits of evidence that actually convinced you china is committing genocide- you can even cheat and Google
The internment camps, the forcible sterilization, the suppression of Uyghur culture.
Didn't even need to use google. Fuck's sake.
Your three bits of evidence are all heresy based on unreliable reports, but sure let's just believe anything that fits our worldview without question.
Even Mahmoud Abbas said china was treating Muslims fairly, as did Imran Khan as leader of Pakistan, Kazakhstan likewise agrees with China's actions as do many other Islamic neighbour's... People who get their news from the source because they're connected to the victims involved through shared culture describe it as a fairly standardly upsetting conflict between terrorists and state actors but the further away you get and the closer to the anglosphere the more intense people's stories become...
I only really realized how much the media pushes stories with no basis because I wanted to be able to demonstrate the stark facts when talking about it, it's been the main criticism of Americans biggest enemy for decades but the CIA, media, and all the other apparatus of the machine haven't been able to find anything beyond a few pictures of routine prisoner transport and baseless accusations from people already ideologically opposed to the state - I'm not even joking when I say Alex Jones has better evidence that FEMA and the EPA are building concentration camps and using chemical warfare against patriots, which we all understand to be manipulative lies.
For decades we've been hearing about this industrial genocide of Uyghur but their population continues to grow, average life expectancy has increased due to access ro modern medicine, everyone (including women, much to the upset of religious fundamentalists) now have access to education and social support... yes the men who wanted to keep women as property are angry but the average Uyghur lives a better life now than they did twenty years ago so if that's the definition of genocide it's kinda meaningless.
For decades we’ve been hearing about this industrial genocide of Uyghur but their population continues to grow,
Literally the same argument Israeli simps use to claim there's no Palestinian genocide.
You can reject the evidence from multiple sources over the course of almost a decade now over and over again because you want to simp for fascists, but it doesn't change facts.
The reality is you're rejecting all the evidence against this because it would make your worldview much more difficult, you believe you know the truth and so reject any other argument out of hand. This is very common, Alex Jones fans believe they have evidence of a NWO conspiracy, your belief is more reasonable because it's pushed by western media snd political establishments but it's pretty much the same game.
Do you reject the evidence from multiple sources that lizard people rule the world? Of course you reject it because claims of evidence no matter how repeatedly they're made add up tnothing if they're all just feeding off their own fantasy.
Is china heavy handed? Yes. Do I think s lot of their actions in Xinjiang are immoral? Yes. Is there evidence of a genocide, no.
How far have you actually looked into the evidence beyond articles in outlets you wouldn't trust taking about issues you actually have detailed knowledge of? The guardian has misrepresented every antiestablishment group they report on but you think they'll be fair to the CCCP? And they're one of fhe most sympathetic, in what world would the US state department say 'actually our main enemy isn't as bad as people say, really they're fairly reasonable especially xomaoired to our own interactions with Islamic terrorists...'
But it's also why they don't really talk about it, they don't want to get caught in lies - remember the US flexing on Russia with their super accurate intel? They'd love to do that to china and if there was good evidence to have they'd have it. This is why all the big claims are based on hearsay from unreliable sources or wild leaps of imagination based on insignificant pictures.
You're sure there's huge amounts of evidence but you can't think of a single bit that has any substance - exactly like the conspiracy loons when they say 'Google FEMA Cano death squads' instead of pointing to their favorite smoking gun because they know you'll just get lost in a sea of people promising theirs strong evidence but never actually getting round to showing it.
As for people using the same demographic argument for Isreal, Isreal isn't building schools and providing healthcare the difference is pretty obvious when you actually compare them - but that doesn't occur to you because you don't actually know any details about the situation in China, which is weird considering how often you've read articles and memes taking about it... almost like they lack vital information because they only want to show one side....
Hey look guys! It's opposing genocide! So radical
