    Even the fucking wiki article on it and also the one over the question of 'was it genocide' at least acknowledge that it may well not have been (and we all know how wiki is basically 'Neoliberalism: the glorification')

    I'm guessing this video does not have such pretenses

        Even the wiki article doesn't try the ridiculous stunt of faulting the nomenclature while skirting intent ('it's not genocide because it's *******cide instead!')

        I wasn't really saying it was a victory that wiki wasn't just outright claiming it was a genocide, more bemoaning that things seem to be going lower in recent days vis a vis recoloring actions of the Soviet Union in decades past, using the current war as an excuse to remove memorials to/for the USSR, etc

        I'll say this about neoliberals: I find them much easier to talk to than many other reddit libs. While the conclusions they eventaully arrive at I of course disagree with, they aren't the same as other libs that make emotional arguments based off mainstream political news which they consume like pop culture. I recall a r/neoliberal effortpost about the camps in Xinjiang which pretty also states that while there is very large discrimination in how they select people for re-education camps - there isn't much evidence for genocide or abuses outside of that
