It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Didn't the U.N. already do this and found no evidence of genocide?

https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932

Okay well they say human rights violations.But not genocide.

China also has a counter report

https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/2022-08-31/ANNEX_A.pdf

I don't think there is a genocide going on. You just have to look at israel and see how much proof a genocide leaves behind.

I'm sure someone much smarter than me can explain how there is no genocide taking place in china better than I can.

You can just go to Xinjiang there's plenty of travel YouTubers who post videos from there

Ah but did you consider all of them are paid off by the SeeSeePee? :smuglord:

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That just makes me want to go more, will they pay me too? joker-shopping

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

50 cent army! Wumao!

Wait they'll pay me to be nice about China? Waow...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I hate that if it weren't for your inclusion of the smuglord emoji and humorous spelling of CCP this could 100%, no exaggeration, pass as a real lib comment. I've seen that exact counterargument deployed on more than one occasion.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

if my enemies aren't paid off or intrinsically evil I might have to consider their point of view

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

My enemies are all bots or workers at one of the thousands of KGB call centers

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

take away the emoji and add an @ in the username and it's the average federated user being completely serious

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not true! In order to keep plausible deniability, they make sure every visit is completely scripted front to back in order to hide the industrial scale cultural genocide. The mosques are all decorative and worshipers are highly trained actors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

After doing a shift at the mosque for fake prayers, Uyghur Muslims are forced to spend hours in the Maofucius worship center

My sister-in-law just went there and would frequently send me gorgeous picture of it. There’s a famous highway you can drive down and experience all four seasons through it.

China isn't even running the reeducation program anymore. It achieved its goal of integrating the rural Uyghur population into the national economy, building for them better economic options, more political representation, and fighting back against Wahhabist ideas that had been imported to the region via the Taliban. If the world was sane this would legitimately be held up as a massively successful de-radicalization program - not without its overreaches and mistakes, sure, but one worth emulating and improving upon elsewhere in the world.

But because libs are racist they see educating against Wahhabism as being anti-Muslim. They see more political representation as indoctrination, and better economic options as slavery.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

integrating the rural Uyghur population

Important to note that they were re-integrating religous extremists, not just "rural Uighurs". Westerners believe that re-edcuating radicals doesn't work (because they don't view Muslims as humans), so they call it "genocide" because it furthers their aims of destroying the new China.

yep the vocational training school program was ended in December of 2019 and yet the lies will live for decades

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

And AFAIK Wahhabism is considered heretical (as much as such can exist outside of Catholicism) by the majority of Muslim sects. It's entirely constructed from non-canonical sources.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Said it before, and I'll keep saying it ad nauseum everytime its brought up:

Even if we accept for the sake of argument there's a genocide in Xinjiang of the Uyghurs, I am an American living in America and therefore I (and any serious person in similar conditions) am more pressingly concerned with the currently ongoing genocide my own government is funding and assisting in.

Anyone out there still moralizing and grandstanding about the uyghurs in the year 2024 is only interested in how they can be used as a political prop.

It's Hitler building a Holdomore museum

Today 15 countries expressed serious concern...

Not quite international-community-1 international-community-2 but close enough.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 days ago

If the stripes and crosses are saying something, it's pretty safe to discard their opinions

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 days ago

Yeah you sure do care about human rights violations

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 days ago

yeonmi-park And in bad country that's currently aiding in the genocide of Muslims they condemn their enemy country for genociding made up Muslims without a hint of irony.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago

Iirc, the UN already did and the USA ignored the report.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Hasn't China allowed UN inspections multiple times?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

They have had independent investigators from over 100 countries. I don't know if things have changed, but last time neither the US nor any EU member had accepted an invitation, despite being given one several times

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago

They haven’t gotten the talk what they need to find that time.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 days ago

Oh god that flag line up is like the who's who of the Axis of Evil.

Hey look, it's a list of countries that support the genocide in Gaza.

When does China get to have the same for American prisons?

UN torture prevention body cancels Australia trip after refused access to detention, mental health centres

Tue 21 Feb 2023

wow!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Ah but you see the Australians stumbled into doing torture by accident, whereas China does it deliberately due to their Marxist-Torquemadist ideology!

THEY HAVE INVITED YOU TO VISIT AND OBSERVE XINJIANG COUNTLESS TIMES YET YOU KEEP REJECTING THE INVITATIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I call on China to immediately open Tibet to all American human rights observers that are over 50, largely sedentary, and live around 300' or less above sea level. Make sure they are provided with finest penthouse accommodations in Lhasa apartments where the elevator works at least 50% of the time.
