For the records, here is a NED official tweet mentioning they have been "funding Uyghur groups" since 2004:

Here is a video someone posted below the tweet -- of a guy discussing this shift in narrative (using this article, specifically). He makes the case that the *actual* cultural genocide occurred/was occurring when Salafism was injected into the region and supported by outside actors in the Western axis. I think the video is pretty good, and, among other things, he shows that NGO internal memos refer to the "concentration camps" as 'vocational centers' -> https://youtu.be/78s7yP2BdF0?t=0

Here is Lawrence Wilkerson spilling the beans also -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrufheMU-WQ&t=0s

    The expectation should be something like:

    You're going to have to talk to most people about this stuff a dozen times for it to really stick. Between each of those conversations they're going to backslide at least a little. And maybe half the people you talk to aren't going to come around no matter what you say.

        Exponential growth is a nice thing to think about with this. If the size of the left doubles each year -- that is, if each leftist convinces only one other person to become a leftist every 12 months -- it won't take long to grow real big.

          I know this is more or less the worst possible emoji for this, but :to-the-moon: radicalize those friends, coworkers, and relatives.

          In addition, :sankara-shining: :

          As revolutionaries, we don’t have the right to say we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We know that when the people understand, they cannot help but follow us.

          I think that Sankara quote is incredible. A damn shame he was taken so young. :france-cool:
