  • brain_in_a_box did a great job explaining about the source, about how it was not chosen for being a good source. Rather is is “reliable in the mainsteam” (read: virulently racist fascist state department drivel) and is still walking back the claim of genocide (since none is occurring).

    I will try not to waste your time, since you said you were low on time, but I want to talk about genocide claims for a second. A genocide is a very serious concept, it is a word reserved for the most atrocious acts of extermination like the holocaust. Calling something a genocide when it isn’t one is therefore anti-Semitic (this is brought up in the Foreign Policy article I linked) along with being deeply disrespectful to other peoples who have suffered through a genocide. Of course, the American government and the press it uses as mouthpieces do not care about this disrespect. You should though. I encourage you not to believe anything you read in the news, especially unverified claims of genocide without significant evidence. This is true for any given article, the info you are reading is manipulated, and “reliable” sources are actually lies designed to make you support war, racism, police murder, and other crimes against people.


  • The burden of proof is on those who make accusations, it is not the responsibility of others to convince you of what isn’t happening. Further, you may have heard the adage that an extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence, of which there is none and can therefore be dismissed. Even further, when we look at who stands to gain from such a narrative despite the lack of evidence, it follows that US imperial power and Sinophobia driven clickbait news corporations stand to gain monetary and political standing by publishing articles like this. This is the same tactic as the Holodomor myth (which is literally an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory made by nazi propagandists and pushed by nazi lover William Randolph Hurst)

    However, I once had a similar outlook and needed to be convinced, so here’s three sources. Also this.







  • First off, don’t make a fuss when you get home, just go straight outside with the dog to the normal place she can pee. Then make a big fuss when she pees outside. That dog looks about 6 months old, dogs can go about their age in months -1 hours between needing to pee, so not more than 5~ hours. Make sure she is getting outside more often than that. Make sure she goes out when you get up and go to bed, and also any time she wakes up from a sleep and after she eats. It gets easier as they get older, and they are very worth the companionship if you treat them well.
