That is what actual genocide denial looks like.

    The genocide we are denying:

    During the tour, the ABC and a US outlet approached a souvenir vendor who claimed to have spent time in such a facility.

    He wasn't provided by the tour guides.

    ...

    Imamu Maimaiti Sidike, a father of three, showed no outward sign of intimidation as he impassively described the "extremely radical religious ideologies" that saw him locked up for seven months.

    "I didn't allow my wife to work," he said.

    "I believed that if we spent her income, we would go to hell and forced her to stay home. I also promoted these values to the people around me."

    He denied any mistreatment at the facility, claiming he ate well, played chess and read books and was even allowed to go home on weekends.

    "Through my studies, I realised that radical religious views harm people. I no longer have this mindset. I can get along with people of any ethnicity and faith."

        They might consider being forced to read a book that's not the bible actual torture.

        sicko-wistful god i wish. the most right wing mormons or evangelicals are indistinguishable from ISIS. in fact, they are probably worse in that they get to inflict their garbage on the whole world via the state department, whereas ISIS only has strong influence in eastern libya, raqqa, and maguindanao.

          Something like 25% of Americans are evangelicals and it’s a literal doomsday cult. This country needs to be occupied, purged, and forcibly re-educated.

            spoiler

            i doubt all of them are truly evil and a lot can be convinced out of it, but its really telling that one of the guys to have the most wives ever was a mormon and most were underage

              Wtf is a neocon trot? I'll shit on troskyists all day for the common chauvinism but neoconism isn't something I'd apply to any, even flawed, comrade. Or maybe I misunderstand what neocons think

                From what I recall, some of the earliest neocons were former trotskyists. I know that's the case for James Burnham, a key early contributor to National Review.

        And those Troubled Teen camps run by wannabe cult leaders need to be put to the sword.

          Troubled teen camps, anti gay camps, most religious camps are all just massive abuse/brainwashing centers and are another example of US projections of issues at home on to other countries.

      honestly thats kind of wholesome. mandating that they take a "vacation", pay them well for it, and have reading sessions that encourage self growth is a very good policy. i am really curious about how it looks in the nitty gritty, rates of success, and real interviews with people that have gone through it by a party that is not vested in anti-china propaganda. ideally from a country that is Muslim so we can get a good cultural analysis

          But we were doing so well with the program of driving around in MRAPs followed by AC-130's hiring pedophile warlords to abduct all the boys in the village, until Biden ruined everything
