i tried searching through some databases and no like actual research reports came up on it, so like can we just use that as a be-all-end-all?

    you know, its really difficult to say whether iraq has weapons of mass destruction. idk dude. i think taking a totally neutral stance on this issue is the right way to go, because nothing bad could possibly happen as a result of this narrative

        The official consensus

        The official consensus by the US and its allies, yes. The official consensus among muslim countries is, "what genocide, what the fuck are you talking about dude"

        the official consensus is that there is a genocide happening

        No, it’s not. Practically nobody is saying this outside of the US and five eyes.

      Thinking the US would ever invade and/or engage in a hot war type scenario with China is baby brain shit. Also, to think the US would need to conjure up a global genocide conspiracy in China to engage in a cold war (which some would argue has already been going on since the 60's) is also dumb dumb shit.

      China & the US are in a historically unprecedented, globally encompassing and intertwined economic human centipede who's existence depends on one another and as long as the countries respective oligarchs pockets are getting greased nothing is going to happen. And no, this isn't the same as "well everyone thought after WW1 there wouldn't be a WW2 because our economies were so interconnected diarrhea noises"

      I share the same sentiment above - having a position on this is pointless. You're weird if you're outspoken about this trying to prove a genocide - you're even weirder defending China. The only fact we have at hand is that the US kills Muslims every day. If China is doing the same, we couldn't (and fucking shouldn't) do anything about it. All we can do is fight to end the US war machine. It's a pointless thought experiment.

            "we should push back against bullshit narratives spun by the US, because historically when they take root it leads to disaster" is pretty simple to understand, idk how you're having so much trouble with this
