      It's "a broken clock is right twice a day" logic. They think that with the currently available info the genocide narrative is indisputable and tankies are just stanning China. The post is saying that if info comes out in 50 years vindicating tankies, then those tankies were still morally wrong at the time because they only had that opinion to be a contrarian.

    It means that all the evidence we have show that it’s happening to the degree that it’s irrational to believe otherwise.

    These people could have been correct on this if there wasn't like a 70 year history of US fabricating evidence against their political enemies

    i feel like tankie is like any other slur ever. you just pack all your prejudices, contempt and preconceived notions into it. then say it loud and proud like every 20 sentences.

      I quite like it though. It sounds both cute and powerful, much like our dear :hexbear-chapochat:

      I'd love to talk to them about what they think about the Soviet invasion of Hungry but v*ushites probably don't even know what the Soviet Union was

        I love tht 19 year olds going “there is no unity with MLs it always becomes this”

        19 year olds are still young. I would have scoffed at the idea of Marxist-Leninism my freshman year of college, when I was young and naive and Ron Paul Curious.

        Shut the fuck up you shivvy shite

        Getting people to voice their political views in public with any degree of confidence is the first step to getting them to address the contradictions. The last fucking thing you want is some kid sitting in a corner, confused and alienated, but terrified to say something that someone else will say is wrong.

        That's what this 19-year-old has probably been doing their entire life, as their parents say "Shut the fuck up you stupid idiot what do you know?" at every dinner table conversation. It's the path to getting all your politics through The West Wing and becoming a smug lanyard wearing neoliberal dipshit. Or getting your politics through Jordan Peterson.

        I guess when your ideology is based around para social relationships with v-tubers and fictional cartoons, it's easy to just keep pretending that all the lies are actually real.

        The thing is there’s a sliver of logic to what this ding dong is saying. this poster lays it out decently. Basically if there is really compelling evidence that X is true yet you believe Y for illogical reasons, if it does turn out Y is true you reasons for believing it were still illogical and you’re not suddenly vindicated. Thing is that’s not comparable to the situation here, where any and all evidence (for both sides of the argument I may add) come from horribly bias sources so either side claiming they have the better stance is talking out their ass. Plus one side has the fact that if they’re wrong the response is going to be a Third World War.

          Part of the problem is that the entire allegation has a "When did you start beating your wife?" vibe. There's no real way to address anything going on in Xinjiang without coming across as "horribly biased". Simply throwing up your hands and saying you don't know what's going on gets you pegged as a holocaust denialist. Taking the Both Sides line still ends up being a variation on China Bad.

          You can't approach this story objectively, because the allegations are loaded from the start.

      Did the CIA say that because they're scuttling the op in favor of another play? I think some Trump people were heavily involved in this with the BBC being the initial source. Wouldn't be surprised if the new cabinet just didn't like it and figured continuing to bomb Syria was a better use of time.

        I thought it was the state department that backed off of the narrative - but the still call the reeducation centers "crimes against humanity"
