    But to a much lesser extent on some things in the modern day.

    For example, China suppressing Uyghurs is on a level the US hasn’t done since Japanese concentration camps in WWII. And it’s been since maybe the US annexing Texas or manefest destiny since they’ve done covert or overt invasion like Ukraine, Georgia, Hong Kong, or planning with Taiwan.

      @JohnDClay @turkishdelight Zenz repurposes the pro-life argument that reduced birth rates are genocide to make it look like Xinjiang getting free healthcare & women who had 3 kids already receiving tubal ligations/ etc. is genocide the same way KKK guys think modernity is white genocide. China literally trained these people to be bilingual realtors and stuff like that, it wasn’t even a mega trade program or something. They got people to white collar shit Xinjiang is rich

          @conditional_soup If you’ve heard of the one child policy here’s a fun fact none of you “China watchers” know. Most regions and/or minority groups did not get affected. If you were Han or anything in Tibet, or a minority any placd, you could be fruitful and multiply. Just an example of how China deliberately gives minority groups boosted democratic representation, healthcare access, training, and cultural representation. Which is what responsible nations should do (glaring at indian res)

        Reading comprehension really is a struggle sometimes. They specifically mentioned scale in their comment. Also, I kinda feel like being open about genocide doesn’t make it better.

      Sorry it seems you may have forgotten one of the cardinal rules around here, you can only say bad things about America, everything else is bigotry
