I mean, it's kind of the textbook definition, so yeah. Just because the US is a hypocritical fascist hellhole doesn't invalidate what's going on in China, projection be damned.
The difference is that the sources of Ugyhur camps are literally a religious (and I use that term very liberally) Chinese dissident group that is banned from Facebook for spreading too much anti-vax and Qanon misinformation and human rights groups directly funded by arms dealers that would benefit greatly from a war between the US and China. Meanwhile, the US openly and pigheadedly brags about locking up undocumented people and separating them from their kids.
I’m not saying don’t be mad and disgusted at stories of genocide, but it’s essential to know the full story especially if there are such jarring conflicting accounts.
What I can agree on is that if "Muslim persecution" was the true championed cause, the focus would be on Rohingya people above the Uighurs. There's a lot more documentation and evidence for their persecution, and yet no one talks about it anymore. In that sense, yeah, the constant drumbeat of Uighur genocide really leans heavy on the propaganda side.
I just sketched out when China's state media "corrects the record" by using Orwellian language like "re-education camps" and "curbing Islamic terrorism".
People here won't like it, but true. The thing is, you gotta take anything you hear about China with a grain of salt, because US capital is spreading as much propaganda against them as possible.
Agreed. I don’t think one on here should be upset that an anarchist or even liberal would care about stories of Muslims being genocided, it’s a natural and benevolent reaction to such accusations (but not for chuds who clearly want to use this as a geopolitical poker chip while having no actual regard for Muslim life themselves). But I think they absolutely deserve ire if they’re not willing to hear out the actual evidence and context of what’s going on because of personal biases.

What invalidates what's going on in china is the fact that it's not going on

Except, by all appearances, they are literally running re-education camps to curb Islamic terrorism.
Do you not know the background of the terrorism in Xinjiang?
