I wonder if they even know that the developer of lemmy, dessalines, is a communist who releases communist audiobooks on their youtube channel and did an AMA on here

It's funny

It's hilarious

I like it that

It's ironic that

It's weird that

so many fucking sentences start like that when smug liberals want to hide their rage behind more smugness.

They won't. I can't get the fuckers to read the UN report, either. And good luck getting them to look in to any information on the 1932 famine that doesn't come directly from Himmler of the OUN-B.

the tankies at the... uhhh... US STATE DEPARTMENT

🤔 well come to think of it they did roll M1 Abrams into Iraq

I've already seen they say. To any lazy libs out there here are some canned responses

The genocide is real but:

• the US doesn't want to hinder trade relations with China
• it's happening all across China so it's less of a targeted thing and more of a general oppression thing
• China is super duper sneaky about it so we can't gather enough substantive evidence to bring to court
• there's some technicality that precludes it from being legally official even though it fits the common definition (that's the argument your link is going with)

Legit had a liberal, when presented with the fact that the RAND corporation (the organisation that blurs the line between a US government agency and a private organisation which essentially set war policy in the Vietnam war for having kill counts as a metric for determining "success" in Vietnam, amongst other things) had released a paper that basically said that if the US wants to cripple the Chinese economy then what they'd need to do is to initiate a limited military conflict in the South China Sea within the next few years to disrupt the shipping lanes which China is largely dependent upon for foreign trade (before the Belt & Road Initiative gets away from the US and closes this window.)

The outcome, they determined, would be significantly more damaging to the Chinese economy than it would be to the US economy.

I stated that this has been around for some time now and it's not a coincidence that the US is clamouring for war in the SCS and escalating in that region as much as possible without actually firing shots (yet).

What did the lib do?

You guessed it! It was obviously Sissypee tankie propaganda. From the RAND corporation.

I wish I had a fraction of the confidence of these shit-tier libs on the internet have because goddamn, the absolute balls to make the bald-faced claim that a corporation which would have extremely high US security clearance requirements and which has been directly influential over US policy for three quarters of a century is somehow now churning out pro-Chinese propaganda without anyone noticing or making a fuss over it.

It's absolutely ridiculous the degree of information and knowledge that we are expected to bring to bear in a discussion and, upon presenting this info, the libs can summarily dismiss it for going against their narrative as Chinese propaganda (or tankie propaganda etc.) and they do it with zero evidence and zero familiarity with something like the RAND corporation's history and function.

You'd legit get a military officer to burst out in laughter if you claimed that the RAND corporation was an arm of the CPC in front of them. And that's a bad thing because I wish all US military a very unpleasant experience.

I don't think this is actually a particularly good suggestion. It's too easy to dodge with "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". It doesn't matter if they lack evidence of presence, because they're not trying to be objective, they're trying to be superior.

send 'em this

Lol. Lmao. lmfaoroflscreamingintothevoid.

No one has ever quite been able to explain why the Ukrainian communist officials in the Ukrainian SSR were intent on genociding Ukrainians, either. not even a "Well they were brainwashed by communism!" Just... pure vibes.

After everything I've done :(

noooooooo you don't understand, it's not racist, it's just making fun of xi jinping because he got really mad and banned winnie the pooh. "source?" what do you mean "source?"

word has it he paid the clouds not to rain

There are opportunistic genocides around famines (not in this case, of course) where the attempt is taken because it is easy and not pursued further when it is difficult. Britain did this multiple times around the world.

Xinjiang and Ukraine (both past and present) mainly

Because as we all know, Genocide is when other countries do things that the West doesn't like

Whereas if Ukrainians are systemically oppressing and killing the Russian-speaking minority in the East, that's just protecting themselves and their national identity, which is good

Holodomor, and Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

i'm just gonna call them shitjustworks so people don't dig through my post history later on and mistake me as complaining about "social justice warriors" lol
