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.

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

Your rhetorical ability is a hate crime.

There's a distinct lack of Data for these claims. Unless that all just Lore?

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.

Claims of a genocide requires proof. That's duly lacking in this case (unless you want to believe blatant propaganda which it seems you are full-throated in endorsing). I'll wait for any clear evidence that is not directly related to ideological propaganda.

Does this qualify as gender-affirming healthcare?

“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Asked Tuesday if Americans’ financial situations were motivating him to make a deal to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, Trump said: “Not even a little bit,” adding: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”

Send this meme to the boomers in your life.

It's from a terribly racist movie from 1939 that they probably saw way too many times in their lives.
