It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Easy to paint all Uighurs as enemies that need to be "saved" and "helped" by the "superior Han race" because some of them were extremists. You really don't think Uighurs as a whole were persecuted? This is like justifying when America detained random Muslims because the Nation of Islam existed.
Tf? Two things can be genocides you know.
It's common sense knowledge. I literally learned about both the Holodomor and Uighur persecution in history and civics class in high school, and we touched on it in a couple college classes as well. I had a textbook literally headlined "Holodomor Genocide" or something, you think everything is just western propaganda?
Least brainwashed american
Sooo you're saying info taught from academic textbooks is all made up? Probably the type to dismiss education as "liberal propaganda" just like conservatives.
It really depends man, like in Poland right now academic textbooks are saying homosexuality is a modern de.gene.racy brought on by communist ideology.
Do you trust that your country will give you honest and unbiased info about its enemies?
Also you should read this book, it was linked earlier in the thread for you, don't forget it: https://www.iskrabooks.org/_files/ugd/ec1faf_2d8a8a045ef442a4bc367697d9231c01.pdf
My highschool civics classes taught that the annexation of Hawaii was the US stepping in to "restore democracy" and liberate the islands after American plantation owners established a junta with private mercenaries, alongside plenty of just trivial factual errors like claiming late 19th century American farmers were concerned over "inflation" when they were actually debtors worried over deflation. One of those classes literally taught the lie about progressive tax brackets meaning people who make more money end up with less as a fact. Highschool civics classes are literally just propaganda classes with textbooks written by far-right thinktanks.
My college poli-sci class literally taught that "socialism is when the government does stuff and when it does a lot that's communism."
Schooling and academia is plagued with errors, propaganda, and brainworms, whether those come from active institutional efforts to spread disinformation, shitty quality control from for-profit publishers, or teachers who are themselves ignorant or have brainworms.
Don't teachers over there sometimes refuse to even teach evolution properly? LOL gg America
No problem with education as an academic myself, but American education is kind of seen as a joke to us non-Americans. School shootings aren't exactly good for learning, and if you didn't want people accusing the American education system of propaganda its probably not a good look to make kids mindlessly chant to pledge submission your your god and a flag. Hope that helps!
Maybe read into Uighur persecution from sources not written by the CCP. It's not my job to educate you.
Do you mind linking so we can educate ourselves? It's obvious that you read them and have easy access
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide
and before you play the "wikipedia" card, it's a good breakdown and all the citations are right there
When you know what you are posting is weak, why do so anyway?
Denying facts and logic huh?
Denying western hegemony and what it entails huh?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide
Denying what mass persecution entails huh?
Am I denying mass prosecution? No, if what you mean is racial profiling after as series of islamist extremist attscs.
Am I denying genocide? Well I haven't seen proof of it existing in the first place. And since burden of proof is on the claimant I'm waiting for a source (Sry Wikipedia won't suffice)
Here's a primary source for you:
'What Is The Empire's Strategy?' - Col Lawrence Wilkerson Speech At RPI Media & War Conference - Ron Paul Institute 2018

Bot.
I don’t know why anyone is still bothering to reply to this very obvious CIA bot.

You linked a few unreliable sources earlier without reading their contents so your facts and logic are inferior my son. Bernie will punish you when I send him my report.
