      you literally said that General Petraeus' manual and American attempts to understand & move against Viet Minh's resistance are applicable for PRC in Xinjiang

      that is hot garbage

              now you're being unfairly targeted just because you hold the divinely appointed opinion that American approaches to counterinsurgency will lead the Uyghurs to freedom : ( poor bb

                  likewise

                  keep recommending that PRC use American tactics from Vietnam & the Iraq Wars on Xinjiang. That's the biggest brain'd take I've seen all week

                      Get actual sources & citations and maybe a grounding in a paradigm other than Western imperialist determinism

                          seems like you're still playing and not actually citing information or sources. Instead you insist on blaming the messenger for calling your bird-brain opinions out

                          no self-criticism from you at all, pretty sad

                              I am criticizing your opinions, not you personally. This is where you're getting mired

                              you still don't get that your opinions are incorrect and would actually be detrimental if applied in Xinjiang

                              you don't care about the truth of Salafist extremism, and actually said that US-imperialist chaos that created ISIS was a good thing "until Syria" happened or whatever

                              American stupidity created ISIS & stoked Sunni-Shia sectarianism. If you want something similar to play out in Uyghur areas, you're being facetious

                                  you haven't argued anything, and instead of engaging in good-faith with the topic, you retreat to this whinging tone-policing bullshit. Instead of treating your own position as fallable and accept new evidence contrary to your own opinions, you revert to a personal pissing contest while pearl-clutching about civility or something silly

                                  then you say you are "done" or "through" or that you're not going to play lol. then you respond again with the same baseless whining without any sources or argumentation

                                  sounds like you don't actually care about Uyghurs or the connections between Western imperialism & the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. you just want to parrot anti-PRC narratives on a leftist platform while pretending that it isn't rooted in hypocritical Western chauvinism
