It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I find it hilarious that people say China is “erasing” Uyghur culture and that’s genocide. But Uyghur people still speak their native language, practice their traditional religion, and have state sponsored cultural events according to their own traditions.

But then you study the history of nation building in the west and like… in my country it was literally illegal to speak any language other than the “official” language. People were literally arrested if anyone heard them speak their mother-tongue. They were arrested if they were anything but catholics. They were arrested if they celebrated any cultural events not in accordance to “national identity”. This shit happened in Germany, Italy, Spain… Was all that genocide?

they accuse china of genocide because that's what they'd be doing to the uyghurs if they ran china. it's all projection.

As always… The way China treats all its ethnic minorities, the US or Germany would never… China spends millions building Buddhist temples, teaching Mandarin, giving vocational training, subsidising cultural events like festivals etc. Imagine Germany building huge mosques and subsiding Eid with millions of euros lol

Raphael Lemkin who coined the term genocide would've classified it that way, but many of the original signatories of the genocide convention where actively carrying out cultural genocide at the time and so it was removed from the legal definition.

Just a text book circular argument: China is guilty of genocide because they're doing genocide. So lazy and shallow.
