The fact that China has ruled over Xinjiang off-and-on for literally thousands of years and yet the vast majority of people there are Ughyrs and other Turks should be proof enough that China is not "Settling" it.

I hope the Uighurs hang on to their identity then! I’m sure nothing bad is happening to threaten that…

Oh cool a reddit liberal

Do you ever feel like maybe you've been lied to whenever people dig into the Uigher genocide thing and literally EVERY single source eventually circles back to Adrian Zenz or literal State Department mouthpieces like Radio Free Asia?

Do you ever look at the constantly increasing Uigher population and the fact that they, like other ethnic minorities, were exempt from the One Child policy, and think "hmmm you know what that doesn't make sense if they're genociding them?" Because idk, that fact would give me pause before I go into a xenophobic fury like a good little drone.

The UN even investigated the issue and found nothing.

The UN didn't find "nothing," they found a concerning set of laws and practices that didn't rise to the UN's (admittedly broad) definition of genocide. Fwiw, though, the US's treatment of black people also doesn't rise to the UN's standard of genocide, so it doesn't mean everything is squeaky clean over there.

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
