I think calling situation in Xinjiang as a war crime was sloppy...

Should said genocide and the meme stands

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 day ago

there are like a billion youtube videos of people traveling in Xinjiang and finding nothing wrong.

I didn't know there were people still seriously trying to sell the "Uyghur genocide" propaganda nonsense. Mainstream media gave up on it years ago, and Israel showing what genocide actually looks like mostly put the last nail in the casket for all but the most committed sinophobes.

Israel are showing us what genocide actually looks like

There's levels of genocide - Uyghur is definitely one, Israel on Palestine is one, so was US on First Nations, then you've got the ones previously in the Balkans, Rwanda and the Caucasus which make all of those look like child's play

If it is definitely one, you might be able to post incontrovertible evidence of it, and not just an ASPI report linking to Adrian Zenz or a satellite photo of a building they pinky swear is a death camp?

adrian zenz blurry satellite photos of random buildings have more weight than tourists filming their experiences in Xinjiang for these dummies.

China has paid a hundred trillion xibucks for thousands upon thousands of travel bloggers to film life around Xinjiang, plus hundreds of thousands of paid actors (in the enormous autonomous region where a genocide is taking place at the same time).

I can't believe you sheeple can't see the obvious truth.

incontrovertible

The issue is, genocide deniers are very keen to dispute any readily available facts - Holocaust, Armenian Genocide, Holodomor, etc deniers, along with flat earthers and other far-fetched conspiracy believers are willing to reject swathes of evidence and released documents that show intent and execution; I could link you interviews with Uyghurs saying they were forceably steralised or reeducayed from respected sources (and am happy to) but it seems like you've already made your mind up so will just be selectively blind when reading them

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A simple "no" would have sufficed.

[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thanks for proving my point that you reject even being offered evidence because you don't want to see something that challenges your worldview.

I could've spent time compiling a list, but you'd either ignore it or say it's a biased source because it's non-chinese or something.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 day ago

Compile me a list that doesn't include Adrian zenz as a source.

I asked for evidence and you went into a rant with excuses for why you won't provide it lmao.

Stop grandstanding about the moral stand you're taking by believing blood libel about the yellow peril without the slightest resistance and no burden of proof.
