What does it mean to 'scour the Internet for stuff'? We know what happened in Xinjang. Mass reeducation, job placement, and probably some level of police abuse while it was occuring. We know that because the Chinese government was pretty open about what was going on at the time (outside of the police abuse, I just assume that happens because it's pretty inherent to policing culture).
But not genocide. Nor even targeted killings and kidnappings (outside of police abuse). If you think it was genocide or there 'may be merits to the arguement outside of Zenz claims' you are barking up a series of rumor trees that have only posts for evidence. And the funniest part is that most of the large scale of it was wrapping up by the time anyone in the U.S. was seriously reporting on it.
The problem isn't even that, it is that he provides critique without solution, like most unserious leftists and BreadTube academics. Would he rather have fundamentalists continue to bomb other religious minorities in Xinjang? Maybe doing nothing would have been better, just give the region up to the separatists? What he wants them to do isn't clear, what is clear is all he wants to do is complain about people who have a problem, the power to do something about it, and are actually attempting to do something that isn't just bombing random villages in the Middle East, even if it isnt perfect.
And it is like this for everything he does. He is the ur-reactionary. He has no plans to even execute poorly, he would never even know what do if he did catch the car.
You can say 'America bad is not an ideology' but 'people with power only do corrupt and evil things, so we should believe intern internet scholarship' is also not a cohesive ideology for actual fucking change. If you think it is, then you are not a leftist, you are a nihilist.
