    The only cultural genocide committed against the Uighurs is the one you support by believing the lies of the US and Saudi backed separatists

    Uighur culture is Muslim but not traditionally super conservative; the real cultural genocide was when they banned dancing and drinking alcohol in public, not when China cracked down on the reactionary religious extremists who were oppressing Xinjiang and becoming a threat to all of China

    I wish we had the power to do the same to reactionary Christians here in amerikkka because re-education is the only hope for any of them

    The holodomor is a lie propagated by literal nazis to downplay the actual genocide of the Holocaust and you are committing Holocaust denial every time you call it genocide

    The real event you’re thinking of is the Bowlodomor, that was when Stalin loaded all the weed in ukkkraine into the bowl of his giant bong and inhaled it all in a single breath before exhaling a breath of smoke so large it covered the whole Ukrainian sky while saying “look at me, I’m the dragon of communism”

    While that did cause a famine, to be fair it was really really funny

      Easy to paint all Uighurs as enemies that need to be “saved” and “helped” by the “superior Han race” because some of them were extremists. You really don’t think Uighurs as a whole were persecuted? This is like justifying when America detained random Muslims because the Nation of Islam existed.

      Tf? Two things can be genocides you know.

          It’s common sense knowledge. I literally learned about both the Holodomor and Uighur persecution in history and civics class in high school, and we touched on it in a couple college classes as well. I had a textbook literally headlined “Holodomor Genocide” or something, you think everything is just western propaganda?

              Sooo you’re saying info taught from academic textbooks is all made up? Probably the type to dismiss education as “liberal propaganda” just like conservatives.

                It really depends man, like in Poland right now academic textbooks are saying homosexuality is a modern de.gene.racy brought on by communist ideology.

                Do you trust that your country will give you honest and unbiased info about its enemies?

                Also you should read this book, it was linked earlier in the thread for you, don’t forget it: https://www.iskrabooks.org/_files/ugd/ec1faf_2d8a8a045ef442a4bc367697d9231c01.pdf

                Sooo you’re saying info taught from academic textbooks is all made up?

                My highschool civics classes taught that the annexation of Hawaii was the US stepping in to “restore democracy” and liberate the islands after American plantation owners established a junta with private mercenaries, alongside plenty of just trivial factual errors like claiming late 19th century American farmers were concerned over “inflation” when they were actually debtors worried over deflation. One of those classes literally taught the lie about progressive tax brackets meaning people who make more money end up with less as a fact. Highschool civics classes are literally just propaganda classes with textbooks written by far-right thinktanks.

                My college poli-sci class literally taught that “socialism is when the government does stuff and when it does a lot that’s communism.”

                Schooling and academia is plagued with errors, propaganda, and brainworms, whether those come from active institutional efforts to spread disinformation, shitty quality control from for-profit publishers, or teachers who are themselves ignorant or have brainworms.

                No problem with education as an academic myself, but American education is kind of seen as a joke to us non-Americans. School shootings aren’t exactly good for learning, and if you didn’t want people accusing the American education system of propaganda its probably not a good look to make kids mindlessly chant to pledge submission your your god and a flag. Hope that helps!
