That is but one example. That was the very first thread I pulled, the first example I looked at, it's hardly an obsession.
Yeah the exact facts never seem to be the crux of the situation, just the overall vibe of "china bad". You can debunk 100 things and people will find 1000 other allegations that they believe.
I never said that. I doubt it's for nefarious purposes. Case in point, I believe that the plaque at the kashgar id kah mosque got removed, but not because it a danger for the chinese state but rather for renovation purposes. I believe that the gatehouse that was built in 1997 was demolished, I don't believe that the entire mosque was. I think these embellished half-truths are really insidious and need to be fact-checked. Are the alterations for nefarious purposes or simply restorations from a building boom in the 1980s and 1990s that was notorious for cheapening out on materials? I believe I read that tidbit somewhere in those western-aligned sources you love to the exclusion of all else, but don't care to go back and check.
Really? Because a lot of the mosques and sites that are under renovation now were built after 1980 I believe, for the reason above.
oh I thought I had linked that, my bad. I usually do that when giving verbatim citations. Well that's what I came up with when I tried to look up the fate of the kashgar id kah mosque's plaque. I really dislike your "kill the messenger approach" here as you would say. It's possible that they are telling the truth even though you think they are untrustworthy wouldn't you agree?
Yeah it just seems like a certain government has a penchant for frivolous genocide allegations tbh.
You know, it's kinda cute to see what I looked like not even 3 years ago. Which is why I have unduly spent so much time on you I think, you talk and do things exactly as I would've so I can't really be mad at you. I don't know if you really are this stupid or why you keep mischaracterizing what I say, or make weird assumptions about my motivations, but your undue arrogance sure doesn't paint a very favorable light. Probably a lot of stuff in your personal life rests on this type of propaganda, you mentioned you worked with Amnesty International before so it's probably harder for you to take a step back and consider that all of this might just be propaganda. Try talking more in terms of falsifiable claims that you personally believe and argue them. Not general claims like "thousands of mosques are getting destroyed!!11" but this specific thing has occured and here's the proof.
Lastly it just seems like a really weird thing for the chinese government to do? Like what's the logic here

Your not familiar with China's cultural revolution and subsequent cultural erasure. Without this context your essentially unable to see the bigger picture.
I am sorry, but I will trust individuals stories and human rights organization like Amnesty International over Chinese propaganda. I find it strange you deny all these personal stories, but to each his own.
Since it is clear you are not scholarly when it comes to history I suppose I will just have to accept that you are missing too much context to understand that there is plenty of legitimate criticism without having to be funded by the CIA.
No nation in existence deserves humanity at this point. Perhaps someday there will be a government that does.
