    Don’t forget to call anyone that contradicts this TOTALLY REAL GENOCIDE(it is known) a “russian propagandist bot” and then of course some homophobia related to Putin or Xi!

    Fighting terrorism is supposed to be about blowing up brown people in foreign countries. De-radicalization, supporting indigenous cultures and effective economic development are the real GeNoCiDe!!! Don’t you see that China is the WoRsT aUtHoRiTaRiAn!?!?!

      worth noting these terrorists were manufactured and radicalized by the cia. this is a fabricated event but china instead of blowing up afghanistan to death solved it like a civilized nation.

    Last week the Trump admin added a bunch of companies to the list of those accused of using forced Uyghur labor.

    Sure enough all week there’s been renewed talk about Xinjiang. They’re trying to get ahead of the midterms, and they got nothing else.

    The first line of a CNN article cycling themselves is so fucking true.

    Is either this or the article cite another article that the primary source is another article 100% copying some fever dream from Adrian Zenz.

    Libs of this world if an article cites a propaganda as source that means the article is propaganda.

            Please don’t lecture me on your semantics. Then every word that comes out of my mouth is propaganda? “My mom is a real good mom”. Aha propaganda! Let me be more specific then: your political propaganda simplified through memes.

            You know exactly what I’m talking about when I call out the propaganda memes. Do I promote political opinions? Yes. Do I using a f’ing meme sub to do so? No. This is what I was complaining about - not your view or opinions on the matter of politics. I have commented about this a lot; Lemmy is becoming more and more of a ideological battlefield rather than a place to get together to have a good time. And then we can go into what a good time is but I don’t have the time, sorry.

              Please don’t lecture me on your semantics

              I didn’t. Pointing out you have been spreading political messaging in your history (spreading propaganda) isn’t semantics.

              Then every word that comes out of my mouth is propaganda?

              When did I say that? I understand debateperverts such as yourself can’t help but build strawmen but it’s really annoying and only signals to everyone you don’t have the intelligence to actually respond to the point at hand I hope you know that.

              Let me be more specific then: your political propaganda simplified through memes.

              English isn’t my first language, I don’t really know what you’re trying to say with this. (Given the rest of your comment it’s probably idiotic so I’m mostly ok with that).

              Do I promote political opinions? Yes

              So you engage in propaganda, thank you for that admission.

              Do I using a f’ing meme sub to do so? No.

              Makes zero difference, what a weird place to draw the line in the sand, especially given that for all intents and purposes this is a political memes community.

              This is what I was complaining about

              It’s an idiotic and hypocritical thing to complain about.

              Lemmy is becoming more and more of a ideological battlefield rather than a place to get together to have a good time

              I know that like myself many people from outside your imperial core bubble don’t want to/can’t have a good time with privileged Euro-amerikans such as yourself who feel happy talking down on us, our countries, etc. while you parott nonsense propaganda with maximum confidence but 0 real knowledge. You must be too used to your Reddit hugbox where you were the majority and never had to do any reflection. You are the problem.

              What you are doing has basically been a meme for decades. You are literally just regurgitating your empire’s propaganda about how what its enemies say is bad.

              Lemmy is becoming more and more of a ideological battlefield rather than a place to get together to have a good time.

              A place made by communists has a lot of communists, and they disagree with things like your grillman, or your enmity towards anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism? What a surprise.

          Propaganda is just messaging with the goal of influencing people in favour of some causes and the like. Obviously, not all propaganda is bad, contrary to your claim. You also do frequent places that engage in propaganda (whether good or bad), and engage in propaganda yourself.

          Also, curiously, you seem to only be vocal about propaganda when your actions favour the most prolific aggressor in the world.

            I’m quite aware of the definition found in dictionaries. And yes, I do propaganda based on this definition. But let’s not go too much into definitions. Rather I would like you to point out some of my comments that do propagate what you call good and bad propaganda. I would very much appreciate you doing this. Not to shame or debate you but rather to reflect as you suggest and get a better understanding of what you consider good and bad.

              LOL.

              Why were they built? How are they used? Who is inside them?

              China says one thing, every article that at the end cites Adrian bullshit says something completely different.

              China had terrorist attacks that started this whole thing, is not some crazy conspiracy to put the terrorists in prison. All people inside are terrorists? Did they suffer unnecessary punishments? We don’t know because every fucking source is contaminated by this anti-communist moron called Adrian Zenz.

                I agree that there is frustratingly little evidence provided by the Chinese government when the Western claims could be disproven and discredited. All I can find are counter-claims which contradict one another.

                  What? Why Chinese government need to spend time and resources in something with so little substance? Do South Africa need to provide shit to disprove the white genocide?

                  Some western journalist need to publish anything that doesn’t have 30 cross reference with Adrian Zenz so people start to take this seriously. Is not just China vs the world either. Is the “always the same map” vs China and Muslims countries disapproving the western claims.

            I don’t like entertaining the stupidity that is the white genocide conspiracy theory.

            I made a good faith effort looking for something that disproves the existence of the internment camps at Xinjiang but all I’ve found is government officials either claiming they don’t exist or do exist and respect human rights or are like boarding schools. I lack faith in massive institutions making statements that are convenient for themselves, especially when they make contradictory statements.

            Yes the US is much worse. Yes capitalism is a sham. Yes racism is the single most evil and destructive idea in world history and must be dismantled. Yes the historical Dessalines was a hero.

                It is not possible to prove something absolutely. It is possible to disprove things. This is also how science works. There is a ton of evidence supporting the existence of these camps, but others have made fair claims that this evidence is all suspect. I would like to see official evidence to the contrary of these claims, rather than counter-claims which contradict one another on the existence of these camps.
