      The only muslim people they suddenly “pretend” to care about because their media hides the fact that they are muslim.

      Muslims everywhere else are fair game.

          It is? Their is no evidence. It’s a fabrication invented by a German evangelical on a self proclaimed “mission from god” to destroy communism.

            No, it isnt. We have geographic evidence as well as countless testimonies of the Uyghur people.

            For some reason when it comes to China/Uyghur muslims, people have no issue dismissing their genocide and thinking it’s okay.

              I was in Urumqi recently enough and I can tell you this they are some of the most pro government people I have ever talked with lmao they love that ETIM was kicked out.

              You have gusano testimony from the likes of Rushan Abbas (Guantanamo bay torturer) It’s not real.

              Also tell me about this geographic evidence? Pictures of prisons that you decided are camps because we’re evil scary Chinese people?

                I never said “you’re evil scary Chinese people”. The Chinese state however, is another story (authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism). I realize now that this may be evoking some sort of nationalistic reaction out of you, though.

                I didn’t “decide”— like I said, independent journalists and satellite imaging. And no, it’s not reducible to “Western evil scary propaganda” like you’re making it out to be.

                  All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this.

                  The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people.

                  I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.

                  The Chinese state that has 95+% support from the population and is made up of a representative of Chinese people.

                  White people decided we’re evil and you just go along with it without any investigation because you’re racist and it confirms your biases

                    Ah yes because government-manufactured numbers hold value— you must think Russia is a democracy too, no?

                    Oh, and now I’m racist. Great. Critiquing a state means I’m racist. Logical.

                    I have nothing against Chinese people. If you’re defending things like suppression, I don’t care what colour you are, I don’t like that.
