Fuck man, there's gonna be a huge anti-sjw boom again, right?

And like last time, people won't realize this is a liberal problem, not a leftist one, and they'll just move to the right.

I personally don't like him. Some of the stuff isn't his fault -- like, he might've genuinely went through the Warren to Bernie to Socialism pipeline in the span of 3 months but I really don't like that that somehow means he should be an important voice in socialist circles -- again, it's not his fault if he gets invited to "advisory councils" or various podcast, etc.

Some of the other stuff is his fault though -- like the whole force the vote thing, he was pushing that hardcore and it just didn't sit well for me that he gets to call anyone a lib or whatever, like, you're in the position you're in right now because you did the lib Twitter grift and got 300k followers out of it, you can't now act like you're some hardcore Marxist when you've just dipped your toes into leftism.

He used to stan Warren until she dropped out, then he switched to Bernie and suddenly became a "proud socialist."

:cat-vibing: ONLY GOOD VIBES BABY

If 4 years of Trump were worth anything it was this. EU and some other countries are not gonna be a part of this shit show where America joins/abandons every treaty and agreement every 4-8 years. Global leader no longer.

No, I agree. Like stop arguing with a kid lmao. Just the headline "China attacks" is funny as hell.

Can you imagine if they did the same thing for the U.S. lmao? No, in the U.S. even if a President attacks somebody personally it's not "the US attacks," but "Oh, he doesn't speak for all Americans."

lmao good luck. Why on Earth would they want him to testify? Clearly desperate for attention.

There's more. Some words highlighted in red are explained by what Zenz said when you hover over them with your mouse.

It's one of those "I'm anti-imperialist" things some leftists do. So they don't "really" support Putin, but defend him at every stop just because he's opposed to the U.S.

I think that's fine to a certain extent, but the GZ folk go way and above to defend Putin.

Yeah, but why always him tho? Why smear your reporting with shit by including him? He doesn't even speak/read their language -- how is he the ONLY one that keeps getting these scoops and reports?

I'm sorry, but as I said to another comment. If somebody in the US based most of their article on shit Alex Jones uncovered, nobody would take it seriously -- no matter how true it actually was. You would ignore the whole article -- which is what I choose to do with every article that has anything to do with Zenz (which is like 99% of the most serious allegations).

At this point, I genuinely don't really like any publication. I like some of the Grey Zone folk, I love that they're unabashedly leftists unlike other US leftist who always hide their "power level," but their insane pro-Putin and Russia shit is really a turn-off.

It might, that's the fucked up part. The Intercept incorporating Zenz in their reporting just muddles the whole fucking thing. If it ends up somehow being proven that there was a genocide, the fact that people didn't believe it isn't on us, it's on these fucking assholes for constantly including Zenz in their shit.

If there was a story about something bad happening in the US, and every article's source about the story was Alex Jones -- people would rightfully dismiss it immediately. And you wouldn't blame them -- you'd blame the media for whipping shit all over their reporting by including Alex Jones.

Of course, it's wrong, but it's kinda irrelevant at this point when for most people (including prominent US leftists) the starting point is that China is literally doing nazi shit to these people (executions, sterilization, forced abortion, CCTV in their houses, etc).

You can't say "regardless of Zenz" when 99% of people have opinions about the issue based on what Zenz reports. That's why it makes me so mad -- it's impossible to normally discuss.

It's fucked up, basically impossible to normally discuss. Every god damn report involves that idiot which makes it sound like I'm some kind of genocide denier to people who are unfamiliar with him.

I'm not. I have no clue what they're doing in China. But I know this dude is a psycho and it's really fucking suspicious that EVERY single western outlet is acting like he's some credible researcher and not a far-right religious extremist propagandist and that 99% of reports about the issue lead back to him.

I know, but I still really didn't expect Adrian Zenz levels of diarrhea from them.

Yeah, it was shocking. I thought maybe they did some research or some shit, but no, like 90% of it is based on Zenz.

"AN ANTHROPOLOGIST AND RESEARCHER"

I'm putting on Joker makeup right now

“Overall, this testifies to an incredible police state, one that is quite likely to place suspicions on people who have not really done anything wrong,” said Adrian Zenz, an anthropologist and researcher who focuses on Xinjiang and Tibet.

MOTHERFUCKERS ARE TWEETING HIS QUOTES

IMO leaving these rich & powerful people alive is always dangerous, it's better to just get rid of them. Plus, if the CCP was ever to collapse, at least there won't be a possibility of these people getting freed from jail -- which you know would happen if some pro-western group was to take power in the country.

But yeah, I don't think random drug dealers should be executed.
