Ok, but like, what if Uyghurs are working in factories across China? So? Seriously, so what? A factory job is a damn good job. And Uyghurs are one of the (many) people groups in China, so yeah, they probably have jobs. Fucking shocker. That would be like saying American Indians are working in factories. Some probably are, so what?
All of the pictures in the article are just people working normal factory jobs for average pay or being celebrated and given themed clothes when leaving Xinjiang to work in the factories. There's a video of people walking through crowds with the themed hats and one of them clearly smiles and waves when they notice the camera. Somehow this is evil and not just people traveling together for a business program.
Imagine if every Western business retreat was characterized with atrocity propaganda because all your tote bags looked the same at the mini golf course.
Clearly the old communist brain washing devices are still in operation.
My favorite part is that thanks to China's rail network it's entirely reasonable and even expected for someone to take on a job working away from home, because they can just supercommute via bullet train and come home on the weekends to see their families.
Very true. Current project I go to Gansu mining area often and it is only a four hour train.
The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.
This really exemplifies and focuses the point being made in "Masses, Elites, and Rebels".
It is this maintenance of persona.
It makes me think of all the instances of liberals, even in my own personal life, rejecting clear evidence about a given topic. If someone hasn't build a persona that would be shattered by this evidence, there is minimal push back. However, with a persona threatened by evidence, that's when they dig in.
I think this explains the projection as well. Since it places them back on the offensive, giving them opportunity to spin more yarn for you to "debunk".
Its easier to spit the most twisted experiences you can imagine about China then seek the truth, because you believe in democracy, and you think you know what it is. To admit that the things you've been told are lies, places you back to a position of not knowing what democracy is.
It's easier to be pro Israel because you are a defender of the marginalized, who rejects hate, and racism. The positions are clear and backed by the state. You maintain your persona and risk nothing. To admit that its all a farce means you have to admit your indifference to the last 70+ years of occupation. You have to accept your racist views, and shatter the illusion that you care about the marginalized.
This maintenance scales all the way down to interpersonal relationships, to group affiliations, to regionalities. Its all in service of the maintenance of persona. The alternative is to show your true self, to reveal how much you'll lie and deceive to maintain your persona, how little you care, how much you prefere the status quo instead of progress. How much you enjoy stagnation of the self instead of growth.
Red sails will stay relevant as it is for at least the next 50 years. Inshallah it will eventually be less relevant soon through progress but that seems naive to hope
The implication the article is trying to make is that they are being forcibly trafficked by the see see pee.
Oh I get that, but I don't see how the video of the people comes to that conclusion
You're not thinking like a China Watcher that's the problem. See these people doing a normal everyday thing? It's because they know there is a camera there and are forced to act normal or else they'll be disappeared! As soon as the camera was switched off, a group of jackbooted thug cops appeared and beat the shit of out those guys just for existing. That one guy who waved? That was a coded message! If you slow down his wave, you'd see it is actually a morse code SOS signal, indicating that he is in horrible danger and terrified for his life, but forced to "act natural" or else!
Chinese citizens move from one part of China to a different part of China for employment opportunities. What will we inscrutable celestials do next?
