Invasive digital monitoring and community informants drive a system all too ready to classify Muslims in Ürümqi as extremists and terrorists.

I genuinely went to read this in good faith since it's The Intercept (I know it's not great, but it's not CNN) but decided to do a quick text search for Zenz just to make sure. And of course, the whole fucking thing is full of Zenz.

This is just ridiculous at this point. I really don't want to be a genocide-denier if there is actually one happening, but for fuck's sake this is just ridiculous, LET ME SEE ONE REPORT ON THIS WITHOUT ZENZ ALL OVER IT.

    Yeah this in US socialist circles is sometimes called Marcyism or Campism because it mirrors stances the WWP took under Sam Marcy, and that tradition was largely continued with how PSL, despite splitting from WWP, maintained those positions. Interestingly with GZ, you can see it take some of those positions (especially with Ben Norton) right after Norton joined PSL (and started attacking DSA as Trotskyite) and deleted a bunch of his old posts about Syria lol.
