Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Adrian Zenz, an independent academic who has unearthed troves of government documents on Chen’s crackdown, estimated that there were as many as a million people in the camps—a statistic echoed by the United Nations and others. Not since the Holocaust had a country’s minority population been so systematically detained.

Adrian Zenz, the academic, uncovered government records from 2018

I think that's enough for now to get my point across.

That’s you don’t give a shit about genocides if you like the state doing it?

Yeah you proved that a long time ago.

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Your rhetorical ability is a hate crime.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I’m just a guy who is against all genocides not just the ones that further my narrative.

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not one gram of logical understanding. All those sources are clearly ideological, but you seem to prefer that over any actual proof.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think I’m missing the part where you showed any proof that China is not committing a genocide on Uyghurs or Russia is not genociding Ukraine.

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not one gram of logical understanding.

You are the only one mentioning Russia on a thread about Democratic incumbents losing due to zionism. Your rhetorical ability is like agent orange to any rational thought.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You say you hate genocide but you deny two of them are even happening.
