To this I say, no. As a community, we do not deny proven genocides, like the holocaust, or the genocide against indigenous Americans by various European colonizers, or the genocide against the Congolese by Belgium, or the Bengal famine that was carried out by the British empire. In fact, denying those genocides will get you banned, here. However: we are also aware of a tendency of nations to project their crimes onto others, and to manufacture atrocity propaganda to justify overthrowing or destroying rival governments… like Libya in 2011:
From Washington Bullets by Vijay Prashad (a great book I highly recommend)
A post from Michael Parenti regarding the destruction of Libya by NATO-backed reactionaries
A headline shortly after Libya’s destruction by NATO-backed reactionaries
The US government has been reenacting the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, and has been cynically leveraging the very serious accusation of genocide against its geopolitical enemies. This is the source of skepticism on Xinjiang. And this is not a new strategy, yes, the Holodomor, which everyone in the US has been taught to take seriously lately, is a nazi fabrication first spread to the United States in the works of Robert Conquest. Why would the USSR deliberately starve a fellow socialist Republic? Why would Stalin, a Georgian, have some kind of Russian chauvinist grudge against Ukrainians? Why would Lenin (Donbass), Stalin (Lviv), and Khruschev (Crimea) all expand the territory of the Ukrainian SSR while also trying to kill off the people inside of it? Why would the USSR ethnically cleanse Ukrainains while simultaneously sending food aid to the starving British colony in Bengal? Natural famines and crop failures were spun by the nazis into atrocity propaganda. Also, a state does not have to be perfect to be defended against false accuations. I think China is far from perfect, but the burden of proof is on the United States to prove its accusations (which have changed in scope several times) regarding Xinjiang. Delegations from Muslim majority nations visiting Xinjiang do not agree with the United States that there is a genocide of the Uyghur people. There is however an attempt to reeducate extremist groups like ETIM. Reeducating extremists might seem a harsh government policy, but I assure you it is a better way of dealing with religious fundamentalism than drone striking weddings or air striking hospitals like the USA did in Afghanistan.
It’s funny
It’s hilarious
I like it that
It’s ironic that
It’s weird that
so many fucking sentences start like that when smug liberals want to hide their rage behind more smugness.
I wonder if they even know that the developer of lemmy, dessalines, is a communist who releases communist audiobooks on their youtube channel and did an AMA on here
Yes, we are well aware.
Are you aware of this?
omg its you! aint you tired. thing of all the productive things you could have done with your free time.
it’s Sunday.
The lord’s day of rest. Naughty person. Go say a bunch of hail marys or something.
you have a whole catalog of of post from us. also and i dont mean this as an insult as a fellow autistic person. almost all of your screenshot post are jokes. like your missing the jokes bud, your not gonna understand them from an outside perspective. also this is literally the nicest kindest least racist place place on the internet. it would be great if you could leave us alone. maybe get into a irl hobby. I like to write.
it’s actually from lemmygrad. don’t really care about hexbear. you can insult me as much as you want, my comrade, makes no difference to me.
well it should matter. how people treat you matters. maybe your spending too much time in these hate filled spaces, people should be kind to each other, you should be in a space where that is expected. and Lemmy.grad is our sister site and I care for them. plus ever since federation many users have been harassed including sexually harassed. Im not saying your post are sending them here but there are people on the internet who see it as a moral imperative to cause distress to our users, mostly our fem users. once you label someone and dehumanize them in your mind you can do anything to them. and thats whats been done to this community. you dont even see us as human beings just “tankies” to attack. maybe you could try to not spread negativity that has the potential to insight harm. I hope you really take this into consideration. plus if were all just teenage larper like yall say whats the harm? theres no real world impact if youre right. leave us be.
Yet here you are.
Caring that much about not caring is transparently false.
