I am mostly pointing out you can consider it “legit” if you want, just don’t get mad if 90% of the community and other MLs don’t and there is reason for it.

I'm not getting mad (yet i reply lol), i'm just pointing out that this space also has some way to achieve left unity. Last year i was being called an anarkiddie for the same takes and now a trot, i guess it's progress?

Heck even the OP was making the same point as you showing that they were given that article as “proof” of legitimate criticism. In that example that was absolutely shit repackaging US talking points by removing Zens and it doesn’t make it legitimate at all, in fact that article made a huge leap in moral and logical reasoning i.e China’s bad because I say so and those Muslim countries that support it are also bad/wrong too because I say so.

I'm really really curious about what you guys would consider to be a legitimate criticism of what China does in Xinjiang, because after the linked thread and the constant struggle sessions about the issue makes me think the answer is "none."
