    I’m no tankie, and chinas efforts to scrub history is one reason we should have an open Internet, not the corporate one were getting. (Yay fefiverse).

    But to compare chinas prison risk with America’s is a poor argument. More prisoners in America and more racial disparity. Still a problem in China, but america seems by far the worst offender of inappropriate imprisonment from an outside perspective.

      The US literally burned down 20 black enclaves because they were mad that some black people were becoming middle class.

          There’s no proof or that. They’re discriminating against them certainly but genocide is a specific thing. It’s not just when you imprison a lot of people.

          By that definition the US is committing a genocide against black people.

            Really? How many black people are in forced labor camps in the US? Or being sterilized against their will? Having their children taken en masse to indoctrinate?

            Racism and mistreatment isn’t the same as genocide.
