    From these comments I figured the OP was an article about Xinjiang or something.

    Nope, literally just Covid quarantine and treatment preparation. A country managing a pandemic competently is so alien a concept to them they would rather invent a reality in their head where they are doing a Holocaust by building hospitals

    These same libs were calling Trump Chuds crazy conspiracy theorists for saying FEMA camps were concentration camps, and mocking anti-lockdown protesters just a few months/years back. Now they are doing it themselves

      Somebody really ought to write a book about inventing reality, about the politics of news media and written my Michael Parenti.

      (I know you know this, but virtually everything Parenti wrote ought to be required reading. It's so accessible that even my dumb brain could figure it out.)

      They’re literally protesting that the COVID protection measures are too restrictive and westoids keep comparing to mass slaughter of entire peoples. I don’t these idiots’ brain

    filmed in full colour, and then desaturated with the BBC Enemy State filter

      I'm thinking "filmed in full color, really?" Where are these videos this lib is talking about?

      There are some Google Maps-resolution satellite images that show about as much as the WMD facility satellite images did. There is eyewitness testimony. There's demographic data, which is accurate when it supports the genocide conspiracy theory and untrustworthy when it challenges it. What the hell are they even talking about?

      By “filmed in full color” are they referring to the 2 photos of normal prison transfers, or the Taiwanese BDSM dungeon they thought was CPC torture?

        No fucking way, do you have a link to that? That sounds hilarious.

            lmfao I was wondering what the hell was going on in that last scene then I remembered why I was reading the article. That's amazing :chefs-kiss:

        Certainly no idea why the butcher in the next village mysteriously disappeared along with his family and everyone else.

      Vietnam had zero deaths up to a point but iirc China had around 30k. Still the communists failed to consider the personal freedom to die.

        I assumed the Reddit comments were talking about the “Uighur genocide” which has 0 documented deaths even according to their sources.

        No, turns out they were talking about zero Covid policies being genocide. What an inversion of reality

      A 9/11 every day doesn't matter because those people were going to die anyway.

      But putting a city under quarantine to limit infection? That's no different than stuffing people into a furnace.

    Filmed? In full color?? And PUBLISHED?! That's surprising, because every time I ask a lib for proof of the "ongoing brutal genocide of millions of people", all I get is crickets. quite odd!!!

      Do crickets in your part of the world make calls that sound like "Winnie the Pooh" and "Social Credit Score"?

      These things annoy me greatly, so I will be pedantic for a second. Concentration Camps were commonly used by both the British, Germans, Americans, Spanish and Dutch during the early parts of the 20th century. Concentration camp just means a racist prison in essence (My translation might be slightly off here, but most people here get it). The Nazis did not invent the concentration camp. Hell, they didn't even really invent the extermination camp, since the German Empire had created some in Namibia (German South West Africa).

    I think China was fighting a fascist occupation when the west was doing the holocaust.

    pretty sure this is just straight up a sockpuppet account behavior. It's so absurd because the exact opposite is true that no clueless user would come up with anything like this. It's so cynical it has to be done by someone who knows exactly what they're doing.

    I like how when someone says "this is literally worse than the nazis bruh trust me bruh", you can just ignore anything that comes out of them afterwards.
