- Lib: China bad
- Actual leftist: It's not that simple and you're being lied to.
- Lib: ok but China still bad
- Actual leftist: Here are some sources to read up on.
- Lib: ugh don't make me research, it's probably propaganda, and anyway, let me reiterate my point--China bad
Dude, if your going to call me a lib, at least tag me. You posted random posts by people on reddit and twitter where they use youtube videos and google translate to "disprove" the camps.
As far as the camps, China officially admits to operating re-education camps, thats not even in question. You also posted an article by Blumenthal who just calls them terrorists and bashes some right-winger that cable news use as an "expert", therefore we can't trust others. You then proceeded to justify the camps because of terrorism of course. You are using official "war on terror" talking points to defend China placing minorities into camps to brainwash them through perhaps torture and other heinous techniques.
All you seek is confirmation bias from random dipshits cosplaying as anti-imperialist leftists on social media. Gene Bunin actually speaks Mandarin, Uyghur, and Russian. And moved to China to personally interview and document Uyghur claims from the camps for the Xinjiang victims database (https://shahit.biz/eng/), but that's no beuno because there have been false testimonies in the past, therefore all others are dubious from now on.
We literally have a government disappearing minorities off the streets because of their beliefs and protests, and your defending it. Might as well put on a MAGA hat and go full CHUD screaming incoherently about ANTIFA in Portland.
It might shock you to learn that the conversation we had wasn't even the only one I had that was frustrating and similar in nature, but I'm glad to see you can recognize that you engaged in bad practice.
What I sent you were not random posts, they were a collection of news sources (is Reuters random? is TIME?) that you clearly didn't read through. You found one source you liked, where I pulled an example of the author using himself as an example with wild speculation on his part as to what happened to a Uyghur he knew while living in Kyrgyzstan. So I found another example now while flipping through these records and I saw a real familiar name. I'd like to learn more about Gene Bunin because it wouldn't surprise me terribly to find he's ideologically aligned with Zenz.
Your closest allies are anticommunists and their useful idiots. What does that say about your leftism?
