I know a few people who work in the UN/international courts and the emotional toll is exhausting. Spend years of your professional life compiling visceral evidence of genocide and crimes against humanity only to see it sit in a file somewhere because it’s not politically expedient to prosecute the perpetrator.
I’m gonna beat a dead horse here but, the more I see the ramifications of the Palestinian genocide unfolding now the more I find the whole Xinjiang propaganda period baffling. I dare hoping that a lot of baby leftists will look back at it and realise what a genocide really is and how little the US state and media really care
I don’t think it’s beating a dead horse, tiny tank. I was just talking to someone I know about this who was on my ass when I said the whole uyghur genocide narrative was fabrication.
It’s pretty obvious that had China been genociding Muslims, the US state department would have been supportive of it. I don’t see how weird libs whose political identity is wanting to smugly be correct and good don’t see how their opinions are always directly in line with the US state.
I do hope it’s a radicalizing moment for people,and maybe it is. I don’t have a good enough handle on popular sentiment for that.
Yeah, like we have not even seen one clear footage of the Chinese doing evil shit in Xinjiang that hasn’t been debunked. Either the Chinese are insanely good in hiding their atrocities, or, you know, they aren’t real.
China is so good at genocide that it can prevent any refugee outflows to neighboring Turkic Muslim countries and hide all video evidence in a day and age where every person has a video camera in their pocket.
China is so bad at genocide that its ingenious schemes can be foiled by one plucky German religious zealot and an Australian think tank funded by Raytheon.
It’s so good at hiding a genocide that they can hide a genocide in a part of the country where you can freely travel to as a tourist, where you can see thousands of videos of on YouTube
Is that entirely accurate? I’ve seen some videos online that you need to get permission from the government (some kind of visa) to travel to Tibet and Xinjiang autonomous region.
I could be wrong or not have the full picture, I’d imagine if that’s the case though, it’s to prevent foreign agents from entering the regions to foment unrest.
It’s just a travel document it’s very easy to get one. Just like getting a tourist visa anywhere else but you have to check in a bit more often. This is also not exclusive to Xinjiang or Tibet.
