      They love repeating this line, which makes me suspect Amerika probably harvests the organs of the innocent people enslaved within its massive prison systems.

        I dated a girl who was in a near fatal car crash that left her with an assortment of surgical scars and her father had been very adamant that because she was an organ donor that they had almost let her die to harvest her young undamaged insides. It has occurred to me that a society where an assortment of vehicle related deaths are considered the norm is a great boon for people waiting for a new kidney or lung.

            EMTs don't have time to check that shit

            if you're worried about it lobby for changing the system to opt-out instead of opt-in. (because religious weirdos care about their organs for some reason )

      The organ farming accusations are Falun Gong canard, likewise most of the claims about Xinjiang literally stem from Al Qaeda agitprop. There was an al qaeda propaganda video on youtube uploaded in 2014 with all of Zenz's 2019 claims in it but it seems to be gone now.

      I also got banned from that sub for questioning the Uyghur genocide narrative

        One of the best parts of not going on :reddit-logo: anymore is not being accused of being a genocide denier anytime I assert that just maybe China isn't the Great Satan who are committed to global Han domination.

      I don't remember if I ever commented on that sub before I deleted my account, I think I didn't. I gotta admit that I still browse it daily because it's the only large subreddit that is mostly fine politically.

        :doubt:

        A captured “leftist” sub that apparently caters to teenagers and is also imperialist?

        Sounds like the state department has managed to narrow the range of acceptable discussion on :reddit-logo: very effectively.

          Yes it's garbage on anything foreign policy (much better at calling out Western imperialism than usual and has the usual reddit brainworms on Ukraine) but there's no transphobia (sometimes there's chasers though) and they dunk on neolibs. I prefer /r/TrueAnon and SLS but those subs get 2 orders of magnitude fewer posts.

            fair enough. I forget how difficult it is to find non-transphobic places online that are not exclusively queer. Hexbear has spoiled me.

              Yeah I mean I'm cis so it's not really for my sake, just good to be somewhere where I know the other people aren't scumbags.

                Oh, absolutely. I mean the same as well. Transphobes are fascists and finding places that throw them out is a literal baseline requirement for me.

                The rights of queer people are non-negotiable, same as any marginalized community. Anyone who thinks otherwise is only a few drinks away from selling us all out for a red armband.
