To everyone here that feels Nazis deserve free speech and sympathy.

They do not.

Handling Nazi with kid gloves is how we got here.

Handling Nazis with im kid gloves is how the Holocaust happened.

History is literally repeating itself and anyone sympathetic with Nazis is complicit.

Edit: Most of us know someone who's grandparents died fighting Nazis. Ignoring and empathizing with Nazi's is spitting on their graves.

I don't know bout y'all but the ONLY gloves you should use when handling Nazis is the kind with spikes protruding from the business end.

[–] jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OK but first make sure they're an actual Nazi and not one of that "someone who disagrees with me" kind of almost certainly not a Nazi.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

For sure.

I've read my Asmiov. "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

But we're complex emotional beings and sometimes our amygdala lurches up from the warm fetid swamp it usually lazes around in and utters things we act on before slower, more complex neurological bureaucracy can veto. Actual nazis will do that to the most disciplined of us.

Maybe the thick yellow rubber ones if you need to mop up after a body

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gross yellow gloves are for household cleaning. Blue gloves are for disposing of bodies, it's like the colour coded chopping blocks in kitchens

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’d suggest the black nitrile to be less conspicuous, and get the thick ones in case it snags on a dumpster or something.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

The orange ones have grip added for when things get slick.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

In a truly tolerant society, only one thing should not be tolerated.

Intolerance.

Quibble all you want about whether it is a genocide or not, but the abuse of Uyghurs by the Chinese government is in no way a hoax. It is institutionalized oppression of the highest order.

Do you have a reputable source? A US government agency’s info is as reputable as Israel’s info on Gaza. They’re the main ones crafting the bullshit.

AP has been selling the genocide in Gaza for Israel, and is not credible. Your second link is backing up my version.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

'“The genocide is still happening but it is just much more covert now,” Turdush said.'

That is a direct quote from the article you say backs up your version, so I'm glad you agree with me that China is committing genocide.

Also, the AP is the most reliable news source on the planet.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Re-read that article then. No one is making claims of deaths. Even the west has softened it to “abuses.” What deaths is your article claiming?

And those “abuses” were putting them in detention while they were de-radicalized, and your article acknowledges that they’ve now been dismantled, because again they were largely successful.

The AP has a long history of manufacturing consent in coordination with western propagandists. They’re helping sell the Israeli genocide as we speak.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Reread the definition of genocide because it isn't restricted to deaths. Forcibly sterilizing people and destruction of culture are also included in genocide. That being said, deaths have occurred in the camps through malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, withheld medical care, and violence (beatings).

https://web.archive.org/web/20250106020345/https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/19/break-their-lineage-break-their-roots/chinas-crimes-against-humanity-targeting

The facts are that China imprisoned more than a million people from a specific ethnic group in concentration camps without due process. Treatment in these camps included forced labor, family separation, and indoctrination. There are multiple reports of forced abortions, forced sterilization, forced birth control, rape, and torture.

As a result of family separation and forced birth control, the birth rate of Uyghur areas of China fell 60%.

Claiming the AP is selling Israeli genocide is a blatant lie.

AP caught again just last night spreading hasbara, misreporting the threats the IDF was broadcasting to the flotilla.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Watch the video AP posted of what the IDF was supposedly broadcasting to the flotilla, and then watch the videos recorded by the flotilla activists of what the IDF was actually broadcasting.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Again, re-read your link. They aren’t forcing cultural appropriation either. They deradicalized them, re-integrated them into Chinese society, and dismantled the camps.

It’s obvious you’re really concerned about the loss of a western destabilization force, and not the actual Uyghurs, because you have no objections to the intelligence agencies radicalizing them in the first place. But it’s oh so offensive to you that they were rehabilitated.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They aren’t forcing cultural appropriation either

I said they are forcing cultural indoctrination.

They deradicalized them, re-integrated them into Chinese society, and dismantled the camps.

They were not offered due process, so there is no proof they were radicals in the first place. "Re-integration" is another word for indoctrination which is a violation of universally recognized essential human rights. Yes, they dismantled the camps but only because they moved the prisoners into the prison system. All this is said in the article you keep telling me to reread.

It’s obvious you’re really concerned about the loss of a western destabilization force, and not the actual Uyghurs, because you have no objections to the intelligence agencies radicalizing them in the first place

Citation needed.

Hahaha. You just keep digging, and it just becomes more & more obvious you’re astroturfing state propaganda.

Ah, that is what you think is a good source. This whole conversation makes sense. Global times is literally state run media.

"The Global Times is a daily Chinese tabloid under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper, the People's Daily, commenting on international issues from a Chinese nationalistic perspective" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Times

The west imprisons and kills journalists reporting intelligence snafus, and you want a prominent western source that documented one of the biggest intelligence snafus of the past decade?

No wonder you have no clue what the west is actually doing abroad.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Julian Assange, a journalist, was imprisoned for exposing that the US was killing journalists. At pro-Palestine protests across the country, police actively targeted press for arrests and assaults. The fucking president of the United States openly threatens journalists on camera.

What the fuck are you talking about, fed?

Julian assange hand nothing to do with revealing the US killing journalists. Yeah, the current US government suppresses free press, it that is not even a fraction of what China does. It is absolutely absurd to call them a reliable source

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

So now you’re trying to deny the facts of one of the most prominent retaliations against a journalist in the past decade. How do you think that’s gonna slide? Seems like a pretty stupid way to burn your astroturf account.

And the hundreds of journalists that the US suppressed or imprisoned or killed? Those are nothing?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Okay, so provide information that proves my information is wrong. Or shut the fuck up

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Asking about the basic facts of one of the most prominent stories of the past decade is the epitome of sea-lioning.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I genuinely have no idea what story you are talking about. Maybe it was the biggest story in whatever Chinese propaganda rag you mistake for legitimate journalism, but it doesn't ring a bell for me.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Julian Assange story, which you don’t seem to know the basic facts about.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, you're still talking about that? Let's pretend that is an example equivalent to what China does even though it isn't. I provided links with more than a hundred names of reporters who have been imprisoned, killed, or disappeared by China. You should be able to do the same if you are telling the truth.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The US has supplied the weapons to kill over 230 journalists in Gaza alone.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If that's the game we are playing, China supplies weapons to to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, all of SE Asia, all but 3 countries in Africa, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea. How many journalists deaths do you think that would be?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

None, unless you have a source showing otherwise.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You didn't source your shit, why should I?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m not making wild claims. It’s widely known Assange was jailed for exposing the US killing journalists, and that the US has helped Israel kill over 200 journalists in the past two years.

You’re making a new claim.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That's a blatant lie. I can find no references anywhere to Assange exposing the killing of US journalists. He released files proving warrantless surveillance of US citizens. Post a link proving what you say.

[–] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are we considering the UN's report definitive then? Or did you just cherry-pick a paywalled article based on the title?

China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province: UN human rights report

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The UN did not accuse China. Michelle Bachelet did. This is a common problem with these UN human rights abuse claims, where a single political appointee makes a claim, and the propagandists spread it as having full UN backing. They did the same thing to spread the sexual violence hoax for the Israeli Oct 7th propaganda. It’s not even the first time they’ve done this with the Uyghurs:

[–] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I tried to un-paywall the article you linked, and it brought up the UN report. It's possible it was the wrong article.

Do you have an un-paywalled link? Or do I just trust it without reading it?

Why should you trust Chinese sources to tell you about a genocide in China? That'd be like trusting CNN to tell you billionaires are evil.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

It’s not paywalled for me, but a lot of it is just repeating grayzone reporting.

https://thegrayzone.com/2021/10/17/uyghur-tribunal-us-government-china/amp/

I’m not saying to trust China. I’m saying to trust the trusted third parties who have investigated it. Really were so far past the hoax at this point, you can even trust the state propagandists who’ve already admitted they didn’t have the evidence they claimed.

Right now, you’re trusting decade old claims from intelligence agencies, who aren’t even still pushing those narratives you’re clinging to, and who were exposed as radicalizing the Uyghurs to destabilize the region (as they’ve done countless other times this past century).
