Its not that this isn't true, its the scale of the problem, and the silence when its other Muslims, in Palestine or Myanmar, etc.
Its not that this isn’t true
I'll bite. It's also that this isn't true. The source on this is literally "some guy in Turkey said it to a US-funded propaganda outlet."
"It’s an order that’s been given from above, it’s an order that’s been printed and distributed in official documents."
Yeah? Show us the documents. It's utter horseshit.
There may be some merit in debating the morality of China's population control policies, but this "tHeYrE kiLLiNg bABies!" is just pig slop for Evangelical Americans.
Brain-dead libs who enthusiastically support this imperialist shit can't see that they enabling a lunatic evangelical fundamentalist to equste abortion with genocide. That totally won't have domestic repercussions.
Brain-dead libs
"But I repeat myself."
I can say that because I definitely used to be and probably remain a brain-dead lib.
The comments are actually decently populated with folks calling out Radio Free Asia and Adrian Zenz. They are all ofcouse being called left-tards (I guess the centrists and righties haven't gotten a hold of the new hot terms yet), but it feels like a small win.
Hospitals in Xinjiang aborted late-stage pregnancies and killed newborns as part of China's mission to erase Uighur culture, a former doctor from the region has told Radio Free Asia.
the first paragraph wow. on one hand, its amazing that the cia hasn't made more propaganda outlets, that don't have the same baggage. on the otherhand the way theyre so obvious and it still works sucks
aborted late-stage pregnancies and killed newborns
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this is what US chuds are currently accusing "the left" of wanting to do.
How very convenient.
would you mind putting a '>' in front of that first line to show you're quoting
EDIT: cheers thank you
It's because people only read headlines, not the article.
Never heard of this. Fucking hilarious that amnesty international yes and'd the story
I never heard of this so I obviously had to google it, this shit is pretty fucked up.
But at least there were some issues with this method:
Things did not always work out according to plan at such executions; at a mass execution at Firozpur in 1857, there was an order that blank cartridge should be used, but some guns were loaded with grapeshot instead. Several of the spectators facing the cannons were hit by the grapeshot and some had to have limbs amputated as a result. In addition, some of the soldiers had not been withdrawn properly and sustained injuries from being hit by whizzing pieces of flesh and bone.
wikiEat shit I'd say.
huh, i always thought that was invented by the british raj, but apparently it was the Mughals?
Well, they say they used it in the 16th century, but they note the Portuguese using it as early as 1509 as well.
So it might be up for debate.
The cannon thing has already been used against DPRK
Two senior North Korean officials were executed with an anti-aircraft gun in early August on the orders of Kim Jong-un, South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported, citing people it did not identify.
That paper is like the Daily Mail on steroids. It's right-wing tabloid garbage started by the founder of Samsung. I was looking at the "family tree" section of his wiki and it's just Korean bourgeoisie laid bare.
Didn't they release that new eating dogs story that came out yesterday as well?
This article was the Independent, they use JoongAng as a (solitary) source.
But the one they were asking about, about the dogs being rounded up and used for food was New York post
They release like all of these insane propaganda stories. With a small exception for a Chinese satirical paper that makes fun of them (but is then taken seriously when translated).
Holy fuck. It's literally the same fucking thing a second time, and people are falling for it completely.
Lmao literally RFA's source is uh....some guy?Victims of communism baby
Completely off topic but is anyone else really annoyed by those long form copypasta reddit comments that always get a ton of awards? List of genocide signs, list of suicide hotline numbers whenever a famous person commits suicide, that list of trump/russia dealings to imply he's a manchurian candidate...
It's a mix of 'look how smart/virtuous I am' and an easy way to get upvotes, basically the ideal smug reddit comment.
The claim is that China is enforcing draconian laws limiting births. So having too many kids or too frequently is punished with abortions. Honestly, it's probably happening. Its just that its getting such a massive signal boost that's the problem. Like, what's going on is Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India or Israel? They're our allies, so we won't say anything. I've actually been to Xinjiang and have been following stories from there for a while, and there is definitely an ongoing project to quash the Uyghur culture. The worst i read about was in 2009 or so, when they relocated people from their 1000 year old homes in the old city of kashgar to high rise apartment buildings. Then they demolished the old city citing the earthquake risk. Protests ensured and the police used live ammo and killed over 100 people. Its not good.
Back near the Beijing Olympics my mother spent some time in China and even back then the one child rule wasn't this hard law like it was hyped up to be for me growing up. Not that the law didn't have issues and favored the rich, but that's hellworld.
The one child policy didn't apply to ethnic minorities like Uighurs anyway.
"punished with abortions"
What? Do we not support abortion now?
Have you listened to right wing discourse around abortion in America? It's all forced to them. This is literally a right wing talking point and people are eating it up because it's China.
but the cia propaganda SAYS china bad, jfc these fucking tankies
I'm just trying to point out that the phrase "punished with abortions" is right wing propaganda. The same discourse happens in America around abortion.
The right wing sees it as evil, so they call it a punishment instead of a liberty. Providing access and infrastructure for abortions in a place that had none before is not genocide.
The post got removed lmao. Thank you Xi, I'm glad you own reddit
Considering what they flaired it I'd argue even the /r/worldnews mods are becoming aware of how extreme the propaganda drive is getting
I got called out in the thread by someone accusing me of genocide denial. Then said I'm reported and the admins should ban me. And to check my post history. Too bad it all went away when CTH was banned! Lol
Meanwhile, I checked his post history. He posted 80 comments on the last 24 hours. One of which says he loves on DC, has a job and is hoping he doesn't get laid off, like previous jobs. I think his job is posting. And I replied to that effect.
Edit: they deleted that comment calling for reviewing my post history, below which is mine about theirs.
Do redditors really upvote anything anti-China? Fuck it, at this point I think we could post photos of U.S. war crimes and get to the front page if we just include the word 'uyghur' in the title.
I just spent a bunch of time reading r/Sino going through some of the debunkings and that's pretty much what the propagandists are doing. They just take a picture or a video of something that isn't even in China, make up a story, and post it. Big media outlets are doing this shit, it's not just randos on Twitter.
Furthermore, the US using blatant lies to attack China makes them grow even closer to the Party.
Yeah, the other day I saw one that was like "Uighur Temple destroyed and used as public urinal" or something like that.
It was from Radio Free Asia.
