That’s a lot of words to avoid saying “I believe China is committing genocide because they are doing ____”.
You have a friend over there but haven’t said what their experience is. You have said genocide doesn’t have to look like Israel but haven’t specified how it applies to China from your perspective. Make a claim.
it's a family i know here, who left china due to oppression... nobody said anything about violent genocide.
i really don't need to type out their whole family situation because why waste my time getting instantly downvoted? you've all already decided that talking to uyghurs is fake news....
I mean, it’s just the entire crux of your argument. I’m also not the same person you’ve been talking to. All I did was ask you to make a claim instead of vagueposting about the definition of genocides being pretty wide and getting on a soapbox. It’s hard to have discussions when you refuse to communicate about the topic, but rather delve into meta-commentary as soon as you’re asked for any details that have brought you to your conclusion.
the claim is right there in the OP's meme... "...china is oppressing uyghurs". i don't know why you keep demanding "claims" when it's right in the meme that i was responding to.
the meme suggests that the only evidence comes from some fucker named adrian, whom i've never heard of, and RFA and falun gong.
i merely suggested that first hand accounts from my friends might actually be valid.... maybe at least something to think about.... but apparently listening to actual uyghur people and talking to my actual family in china is western propaganda... so discussion is already non-starter
anyway. it was a fun afternoon of earning capitalist value tokens while pretending to add value at work... thanks all for the discussion
I love how you unquoted “evidence” in the original meme. I just wanted to know how the people you know were affected, and every message you send that avoids that screams “I totally have a girlfriend but she lives in another country and she doesn’t like her picture taken, but trust me, she definitely exists”
