    Wild to be so indoctrinated that you continue to believe the Uyghur genocide lies, even when the departments that made it up admit they made it up.

    This is why it’s so easy to mislead the American public. You want the lies.

        Every genocide except the uyghur genocide has images attributed to it

        Self exercise, find me three images of an uyghur genocide taking place, I’m not asking just to be a smart ass but because I tried it myself and I got no result

        Sorry, but who should prove that there is a ongoing genocide is who do that claim, requiring to prove the no existence of something is a fallacious argument.

          This is unrelated to the topic, but that’s not how logic works. The burden of proof is upon the person(s) making the positive claim. So either you say,

          • “Yes, there is genocide” (positive claim)
          • “No, there is no genocide,” (positive claim)
          • “I don’t know/don’t believe you.” (neutral claim)

          So anyone in this post saying there isn’t genocide has a burden of proof to show why they believe it’s not occurring, because they are making a positive claim. It is not a logical fallacy to prove an opposing claim, and difficulty proving it doesn’t absolve anyone of that responsibility.

          Likewise, anyone saying there is genocide occurring should provide evidence for that claim. Typically, the person making the first positive claim has the initial responsibility.

          LMAO did you even read your source‽ It’s right there in the summary

          But evidence that it is carrying out other forms of genocide abounds, Beth Van Schaack, a visiting professor at Stanford Law School’s Center for Human Rights and International Justice, wrote in a recent post on Just Security.

          “For example, the torture, rape and sexual violence committed against Uyghurs likely constitute genocide ‘by causing serious bodily and mental harm’—the second type of genocide recognized by the Convention,” she wrote. “Likewise, the deplorable living conditions of incarcerated Uyghurs may constitute genocide by ‘deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about [their] physical destruction’—the third form of genocide.”

          @[email protected] you should have read their source, it doesn’t even back them up in any way LMFAO

          From your article:

            Yes, she’s trying to stretch their claims into persisting. Again, without evidence.

            I understand reading is challenging for you, but you’re gonna have to actually read the whole article to get the context.

            What’s actually happening is China is preventing the US from further radicalization of the Uyghurs to destabilize the region, and de-radicalizing those being rehabilitated. The US doesn’t like their terror cells being stopped.

              Yep, for sure. More western countries should adopt the Chinese approach of “cultural assimilation” by locking up all our Muslim immigrants in “re-education” camps to unlearn Islam. They wouldn’t get any criticism for that right?

                  I agree with you, all authoritarian States suck ass, including the US. I post more critical stuff about the US than about any other country. Still that doesn’t give China a free pass. You can shove your “critical support” where the sun don’t shine if you are just simping for a different authoritarian State.

                    No free pass for China. But I’m not gonna tricked into another war. I want to see actual evidence. Not just western intelligence claims from the least trustworthy people on the planet.

                Wahabism isn’t native. It’s literally being imported by Saudi Arabia, and is actively trying to destroy Uighur culture.

                ‘Muslim’ is not a monoculture and it is ironic that someone worried about cultural genocide believes it is.

                  Don’t straw man me. I was simply pointing out how insane this would be if any Western country employed the same ‘assimilation’ methods that China is doing. I mean, arguably the US is doing something similar with the way they exploit their prison populations (minus the re-education part). But that’s also shameful. Just because the US does shameful things too doesn’t mean that China’s shameful things don’t matter or shouldn’t be talked about. These types of reprehensible State actions should all be scrutinized and opposed.
