If Gaza hasn't shown you that Uyghur Genocide was a crackpot evangelical conspiracy theory cooked up in a Langley basement then nothing will

[–] Starshader@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ok so every neutral journalists, humanitarian comitees, independent experts and basically most Uyghur are in the conspiracy and the very nice Chinese government is clean because they never lie.

Hahaha you are a drone or a flatearther.

If you look into it, most of the indpendent experts are one right wing crank, Adrian Zenz, who is 100% funded by the UK State-Owned BBC and an American intelligence cutout organization called the NED. He's a far-right Christian Zionist who doesn't speak a word of Mandarin. You should be happy that there's no genocide in Xinjiang (even Zenz has never claimed this), mad that your tax dollars likely went to fund his bogus cause, and furious that those same tax dollars are also being used to conduct a real genocide in Gaza.

Wow wait ! I'm not American. And fuck the state of Israel. But as much as it may rather be a cultural genocide, it still sucks. And as I said, I can't trust a state that did what it did to Hong Kong, Taiwan and try to hide things to it's people (tiananmen for example) I have no faith in the words governments, wherever they stand and I don't believe in "nations".
