Why am I even seeing this .ml community?

Why do butthurt whiners keep asking this rhetorical question in our communities?

Why didn’t you just silently block us from the start, instead of embarrassing yourself?

No, there aren’t, not credible ones, anyway. i’m sure there are Radio Free Asia pieces quoting “anonymous sources,” because that’s all they do, because RFA’s whole job is to spin anti-China slop, because they’e a component of the US military-propaganda-industrial complex.

Given that China’s population is overwhelmingly more ethnically and culturally homogeneous

What? It’s more diverse, not less. There are hundreds of living indigenous languages in China, and some of which aren’t even in the Sino-Tibetan language family. Just as one example, there are a several of Turkish ethnic groups, which are different from each other, and very different from Han, Tibetan, Koreanic, etc. cultures.

🤷 There’s no universal, coherent definition for racism, and if there were, we’d still have to run two very large, expensive research/polling projects. Also these are extremely large populations (on extremely large territories), neither of which is monolithic. Also, how racist a people are doesn’t necessarily align with how racist a state is. In an online forum, it’s the kind of question that mostly just exposes some people’s existing prejudices.

And I know you know I know 😉

China isn’t socialism, it’s communism.

You understand neither socialism nor communism. Read a book.

Democracy is only as good as the voters.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never lived in one.

And off he goes to post on c/meanwhileongrad 😂

Edit to add: 1) Wikipedia isn’t a source, dumbass. 2) We’re not the ones in a bubble. Previously:

It’s virtually impossible to be in an “echo chamber” when living in a Five Eyes country. Or rather, it’s virtually impossible to not be stuck in the Five Eyes liberal echo chamber. You would have to go full Kaczynski, living in a shack in the woods.

As if we weren’t—and aren’t still—exposed to exactly the same life-long indoctrination, education, and propaganda as everyone else in the imperial core. But somehow we, who looked beyond the cultural hegemony in which we’re surrounded, are the ones living in a bubble.

Previously:

“Genocide denial” isn’t a magic spell. Do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans?

Also, do you think we haven’t gone over the Wikipedia entry with a fine-toothed comb already?

Previously:

The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.

The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.

Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

Genocide is more than just killing, it’s the deliberate destruction of a people including its culture and institutions.

(a) Show me the Uyghur bodies

(b) Show me the serious bodily or mental harm

(c) Show me the conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part

(d) Show me the measures intended to prevent births within the group

In accordance with China’s affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.

(e) Show me the forcible transfer of children from one group to another group

violent incidents in East Turkestan

I wonder where those Salafi terrorists came from? Oh right: the US, UK, and Israel organized, funded, and trained them, as they did Al Qaeda and the various flavors of ISIS/ISIL, including the “moderate rebels” that just took over Syria.

Edit: aaaaaaand the tankies show up.

You’re in our house, dummy.

It is the same logic as the person earlier today in this very thread who told me mainlanders only support the government because we “do not know any better.”

Usually these same people are oblivious to the propaganda they swim in, but have a dissenting viewpoint and you’re the paid agitator.

Propaganda is only taught in elite universities because only future mandarins of public opinion are supposed to understand it.

They are democracies of the wealthy; they were never democracies of the people. I already covered this elsewhere in this post.

For a lot of new users, it’s the first time they’ve ever been exposed to uncensored viewpoints. No one‘s ever pushed back on their unexamined priors, which came from life-long exposure to the ideas of the ruling class.

The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.

Ranked by whom?

Anything possible when you make shit up 🤷

Meanwhile in the real world:

A lot of people are so blackpilled by capitalist realism that they think “all sides bad” is the enlightened position of Serious People. It also conveniently means that There Is No Alternative, and there’s no point in trying to assert change.
