you could argue machine learning like Google translate is useful. it's still evil though because Google.

generative ai though? absolutely not, we need to burn it down.

it doesn't matter whether abolition is realistic or not. the same thing could be said in 1980 about owning a supercomputer that fits in your pocket

thanks for the rec

this is simply the liberal "if you don't vote then you deserved it" rhetoric repackaged. we're not interested since our goal isn't to work inside the system as abolitionists

anyone who calls AI a form of life is too far gone to collaborate with

lmao top-tier troll

Adrian as reprehensible as he might be is only circulating data that's been leaked from Chinese Police databases full of thousands of pictures of Uyghurs in concentration camps.

What Qiao Collective states is in line with the UN report and what the visitors China has invited from the Middle East to investigate back up.

you can't have it both ways. if you wanna be a tankie at least don't rely on western alligned monarchies to support your alternative facts.

the irony isn't lost on me that you're basing your genocide denialism on paid propaganda from government clerics going on supervised tours, who also support Israel in their genocide of Palestinians. also the irony that all tankies engaging in anti-Uyghur genocide denialism are simply regurgitating 9/11 "terrorist" propaganda but they like it this time because China lightly repackaged it, put a red bow on top and made it their official policy.

I support justice for Uyghurs because I follow Uyghur activists and academics, I couldn't give a shit about Zenz. Unlike you, we don't have a daddy fetish where we have to blindly follow a great leader.

there's no such thing as socialist states. that's just stalinist "communism in one country" fascist bs

I'm really glad to hear that in classic ML fashion, you know better than Ugandans themselves what does or doesn't constitute colonialism. I recommend actually watching the TikTok video from the Ugandan activist I linked you that already explains how Mandarin is erasing indigenous languages in favor of facilitating Chinese exploitation of local resources.

Believe it or not, Spanish is also a colonial language. It's pretty well known in any history book that it was used to enact cultural genocide on indigenous people all across Turtle Island. Indigenous people in Latin America have the "choice" of assimilating into Spanish culture or face poverty, starvation and genocide by white Latinos.

lmao imagine unironically linking the qiao collective, the mouthpiece of the CCP, as a credible source. I was wondering how long until the .ml brainwashing chip activates 🤭

here's an even quicker read:

The University of California, Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective posts “positive, often revisionist perspectives about Chinese politics.” That report stated that Qiao Collective claims that the “West’s perceptions of China as a human rights violator are actually the opposite; China is benevolent in helping marginalized people.” 1

The UC Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective is particularly sympathetic with regard to how China treats the Uyghur people. 1 On Aug. 31, 2022, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report stating that the “Chinese government’s rights violations against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang ‘may constitute … crimes against humanity.’” 5

The left-of-center Human Rights Watch stated that since 2017, the Chinese government has carried out “a widespread and systematic” attack against the Uyghur people that included mass detention, torture, religious persecution, separation of families, forced labor and sexual violence. 5

The UC Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective “assert[s]” that re-education camps do not exist and the camps were built to “deradicalize” extremists so they can get proper training to live on their own. UC Irvine’s report stated that Qiao claimed the camps teach Uyghurs to “better function in the economy,” learn technical skills, and they are allowed to go home a couple times per week to see their families.

the CCP was no less far right than the KMT during that era, exemplified by the many genocides they committed and continue to commit against ethnic minorities

Belt and Road Initiative, China owning most of the cobalt reserves and refining resources that oftentimes rely on enslaved child labor, anti-Black discrimination inside Chinese enclaves in Africa (1) (2), mandating Mandarin in Ugandan schools, with Kenya and South Africa making it optional

the future of neo-colonialism? definitely
