2016, when Islamic terrorism was still the big bad and western media was praising France for their anti-terror re-education program. this shit sounds a lot creepier than vocational training, too. nothing from Adrian Zenz about France though, curious!

    The point of re-education is that you change people’s material conditions by giving them a better education so that you lift them out of the material circumstances that make them susceptible to the extreme islamic tendency.

    That's a great idea. Why do you need the camps for that?

      You don't. They're not really "camps" and never have been. They just like to call them camps because it sounds bad and evokes a mental image of tents and harsh conditions. Every single facility used in Xinjiang was a fully constructed building and they look like schools.

          Good point but it's probably regionally different right? Over here in the UK at least the first thing anyone thinks of when you say camp is the conditions of the pop up migrant shanty camps in France because that's what they see camps referred to as within the media constantly. I imagine that what it evokes in a person's mind is different based on what you hear get brought up the most within the media you're exposed to?

        I mean than the post is wrong if the two are not at all comparable, and also i see them constantly referred to as camps here by people who defend them.
