      Yeah. Until content warning tags are supported by hexbear it would have been much preferable to post this as a text post with a huge SW/spoiler hidden tag, with both the description and the link inside and a warning outside explaining it relates to SA.

          Yeah, that why I think something like "extreme sexual assault content warning" on the outside would've been the best approach. Though maybe that doesn't change much.

            filter is the best thing, or just getting mods to delete dumb shit like this until the filter is done

              I mean this thread may be dumb but talking about this subject isn't always, hence my suggestion. I've used that approach when commenting on the sordid past of one of Macron's recently appointed minister, for example; though again, I don't know if it changes much.

                95% of the time on chapo, the conversation is between people that arent rape victims and honestly i think that conversation is dumb as shit and can be deleted without me feeling anything about it

                if its a victim sharing a story, obviously keep it but maybe put it in a special subcom for that purpose or something if the filter is gonna take a long time to make

          You: I’m gonna regurgitate the propaganda

          I repeated the official Chinese line and pointed out how it qualifies as genocide according to the UN definition...

          Speaking of contorting yourself to believe propaganda. Guess it helps when you can call the mods to erase anything you disagree with. That's how you know you're not brainwashed by propaganda. Everything you can see proves you right.

        ‘We’re going to train them out of their culture’ is not an internationally recognized definition of genocide.

        TIL Saudi, Al-Qaeda-aligned Wahhabi fundamentalism, introduced by the Mujahideen, that's trying to eradicate indigenous Muslim religious and cultural practices is Uyghur culture.

        By claiming that deradicalizing people from reactionary Islamic extremism is "training them out of their culture", you accept a racist and Islamophobic narrative, that the Uyghur culture is, in fact, Islamic extremism. So yes, please reflect on it and do better next time.

          Acckkschually, Chinese surveillance leads to things like contact tracing during covid pandemic and American surveillance leads only to nudging and targeted ads so yes, I relatively do love the surveillance state with Chinese characteristics

            Good thing Covid showed up or all that fancy surveillance would just be collecting dust....right? What a reach! You got to be drinking some serious kool aid if you think that's all a surveillance state leads to. Just think about what the NSA is doing and assume China is on the same level. If you're OK with that then I guess that says a lot...

              It says that there is no perfect society but at least the Chinese citizen benefits from their surveillance program for non-imperialist reasons, because collectivism is good. I even included 'relatively' in there. Fuck off :LIB:

    lmao at the people getting furious at adrian zenz when he's not mentioned in the bbc report. just say it's British state media, you don't have to do the whole "i refuse to even evaluate this claim because it is so egregious and contrary to what i believe, also i expect you to treat me as a good faith interlocutor" bit. you won't be transformed into a raging sinophobe just because you watched a little propaganda critically.

    Obsessing over one's approval/condemnation of a huge complex discussion is larping lib shit. It's unfortunate that being online mandates this binary heuristic. So, with some reluctance: China good, USA bad
