      Not even prisons. ABC interviewed a Uyghur souvenir seller who spent 6 months in reeducation:

      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.

      I can’t think of any kind of prison that lets inmates go home for the weekend.

        We’re gonna need some capital ships and probably some lighter cruisers and destroyer escorts to be able to effectively do fleet maneuvers and protect our new motherland. This plan is also incredibly climate resilient.

    Nonono you see, the Uyghur genocide is real, those sneaky Chinese are just really really good at hiding it! The lack of evidence is actually proof that it’s happening and really shows how sneaky those Chinese are!!!

      Too late, I’ve already heard this one multiple times, both from Lemmy libs and IRL.

      It is kind of satisfying to get them to that point though, shows that deep down, the only thing fueling them is just blind racism, no actual empathy for the people of Xinjiang.

    Islamic state inspired islamic terrorist movement? That’s their traditional culture and trying to stop it is genocide.

    Uygur culture is poverty. Trying to promote economic prosperity? That’s a genocide.

    Jobs program = slavery

    Education/training = cultural genocide

    birth control = forced sterilization

    prisons = extermination camps

    government sponsored cultural events = co-option and cultural genocide

    China is so good at covering up the mass slaughter that all we have is this video of a community college type building, where they are FORCED to go to, and it may not look that remarkable on it’s own… but if we play sinister sounding music over the footage… yep, damn right that’s a genocide.

      They do the same when it comes to discussing soviet policy in Siberia, where establishing maternity wards for Sakha women and using Cyrillic alphabets to write down Siberian languages is equal to doing genocide.

      Uighur Genocide fell out of fashion after the US pull-out of Afghanistan. We’ve been through people screaming at leftists for supporting the Taliban, people screaming at leftists for supporting Vladimir Putin, people screaming at leftists for supporting Big Pharma…

      The Israeli Genocide is putting China so far into the rear view mirror. Its impossible to get a word in edgewise over the latest horror.

    Lmao! It’s funny because I told my S.O. last night how you should do a side by side of people supporting Israel right now with their comments on the Uyghurs.

    If you are in the US you need to politely shut the fuck up about whatever the hell may or may not be going on in China and either:

    A) Focus on the shit your own country is directly complicit in and helping to facilitate,

    Or

    B) admit that it that it was always cynical bullshit and that you don’t give a shit about the lives of Muslims.

    Those are your options.
