Some gringo in the comments: “Something something Uyghurs, something something mass surveillance, winnie poo”

Liberals and real actual gaza genocide: 🥱

Liberals and fake Uyghur genocide: Real shit

“fake” Uyghur genocide, wow.
It is? Their is no evidence. It’s a fabrication invented by a German evangelical on a self proclaimed “mission from god” to destroy communism.
We have geographic evidence as well as countless testimonies of the Uyghur people.

I was in Urumqi recently enough and I can tell you this they are some of the most pro government people I have ever talked with lmao they love that ETIM was kicked out.

You have gusano testimony from the likes of Rushan Abbas (Guantanamo bay torturer) It’s not real.

Also tell me about this geographic evidence? Pictures of prisons that you decided are camps because we’re evil scary Chinese people?

I never said “you’re evil scary Chinese people”. The Chinese state however, is another story (authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism). I realize now that this may be evoking some sort of nationalistic reaction out of you, though.

I didn’t “decide”— like I said, independent journalists and satellite imaging. And no, it’s not reducible to “Western evil scary propaganda” like you’re making it out to be.

authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism

All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this.

The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people.

I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.
