UPDATE 2-U.N. body, in rare move, rejects debate on China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims
news.yahoo.com
The U.N. rights council on Thursday rejected a Western-led motion to hold a debate about alleged human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang region after a U.N. report found possible crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Muslims. The U.N. rights office on Aug. 31 released a long-delayed report that found serious human rights violations had been committed in Xinjiang, in a move that has increased pressure on China.

Look at all these identical articles, many are Reuters sourced, but all of them are quite literally copy and paste the entire state department write ups that Im sure they were instructed to personalize first. Lazy fuckers lol

    I'd say it will be more like Rhodesia stans. Confederate apologists deny the war was about slavery, and neonazis deny the Holocaust. Rhodesia supporters fully acknowledge and support the apartheid past.

      neonazis deny the Holocaust

      Denying the holocaust is something only some of them do. Plenty of them, dare I say even the majority of them, admit it happened and think it was "Based."

      Confederate apologists deny the war was about slavery

      Again, only some of them. Even then, barely. They say it was about "State's Rights." Which begs the response "States Rights to Own Slaves." Then you point at the secession documents and quotes from their officials and they usually at that point either stop responding or call you a slur.

      Rhodesia supporters fully acknowledge and support the apartheid past.

      So do nazis and confederate apologists. The era of American history most analogous to South African Apartheid, i.e. segregation, came after emancipation. All those lost causer confederate apologists absolutely will be open about supporting "separate but """equal"""" segregation even if they deny the war was about slavery. And nazis, whether they deny the holocaust, or claim it was "based", they advocate "racially homogenous ethnostates" and deportation of ethnic minorities, religious minorities, immigrants, etc. In fact, the holocaust-denying nazis will usually cope by saying that Hitler "only deported" Jews. Which means they support deportation of people they don't like, whether legal or undocumented. That's apartheid, comrade. That's segregation.

        I was more referring to rhetoric they use. Of course Nazis like genocide, they wouldn't be Nazis if they didn't. I'm just referring to how those groups try to rehabilitate the image of the genocidal regime they support in their propaganda. They don't start off radicalizing people to fascism by saying "yeah we like genocide", they lead into that.
