Police in the Xinjiang region of China rely on a master list of 50,000 multimedia files they deem “violent and terrorist” to flag Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim residents for interrogation. An investigation found that over nine months, police conducted nearly 11 million searches of a total of 1.2 million mobile phones in Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital city of 3.5 million residents.
You keep acting like it's unfair that people aren't providing you with sourcing in every disagreeing reply that informs you of context you were clearly unaware of before posting a problematic NGO's speculative media campaign.
This is Reddit brain. This exact thing right here. Look at it, criticize it, and consider that we are comrades, not walking Wikipedias or servants or enemies. In a normal conversation, what would you expect from a person disagreeing with you? Do they need to remember the book and page number where Lenin said X or Y? Where Goldman said A or B? Where imperialists supported a given genocide?
I will also point out that when it comes to posting propaganda against the empire's primary targets, it's really your job, not anyone else's, to know the context and meaning behind it. If you don't want to put in the work to understand, you can always just not post the propaganda. It's a good rule of thumb to not post such things until you're ready for a well-grounded criticism session and know exactly what the goal of it is. By default, Westerners will tend to be chauvinists and hypocrites, so the most likely outcome of a poorly-supported criticism will be them agreeing to violence against the empire's designated enemies and to feed the ongoing escalatory public sphere towards those designated enemies.
I've seen you ask two people for sources in this way and be generally combative waaay too early with several folks. This is not comradely behavior, particularly given the premise of this post.
And again, this is not Reddit and we are not your enemies. These are fellow comrades who are knowledgeable and informed on this topic.
I strongly disagree that you weren't rude to anyone. The original issues I pointed out would count as rude. I'd say you're taking comrades here for granted and overall they have been very patient. I'd also invite you to ask yourself what you think anyone is getting out of these negative interactions, including yourself.
I don't know anything about your prior interactions with the other user but I do empathize if there were toxic interactions.
Your responses to me and others are overly defensive to the point that they communicate bad faith. Please consider taking a short break or rest so that you can engage with and treat others here like comrades.
Not lie entirely on you? You haven't accepted any fault whatsoever, let alone any of my criticisms or advice.
Trying to point the finger at others to deflect from self-crit is unhelpful, avoidant, and a good example of the defensiveness I'm talking about.
You are not making any sense, are now acting childish and sarcastic towards me, and you need to take a break. Your behavior here is self-destructive. It's as if you want people to have good reason to write you off.
Again, and I mean this in the best of ways, take a fucking break.

None of that is responsive to what I said.
