So let me retract that and go back to this line: whoever Zenz is, the UN special rapporteur deemed him a credible enough source to include his work in a UN HRC report. The report has not been retracted. I’m not an expert on the sources, but I can in good faith assume that the UN HRC is a reasonable arbiter of reputability.

Damn, I recommend you look into some of the other claims Zenz has made before deciding he’s credible.

Lol. You hypocrite.

What you can do is not comment at all unless you know at least the basic facts.

And the fact that you think factual errors are equivalent to grammatical errors is absolutely breathtaking

If the UN fucking rapporteur deems it reliable enough

Does this also apply to Zenz claims about LGBT people then? Or are you just a dishonest scum bag?

Incredibly fucking ironic how say:

I have nothing to say about Zenz’s politics, that’s why I don’t. His politics are irrelevant with respect to the truth of what he alleges.

immediately after condemning Mintpress for their politics. Really goes to show that you’re not even trying to be good faith.

But to centre Zenz in this discourse is disingenuous. There are about 84,000 entries in the Xinjiang Victims Database.

Funny you should say that, because I picked a person at random, and guess who the only source was? That’s right, Adrian Zenz, as always.

Westerners really are unbelievably arrogant; not spouting off about things you demonstrably don’t know even the most basic facts about should be normal behaviour

So if you know what the word “commie” meant during the cold war, “tankie” means the same thing, just said by people who don’t want to seem like elderly boomers

Thats not correct, by the way

Correct etymology of the word!

Only if you’re too historically illiterate to think Stalin was still alive

It used to be a word for people who defended Stalin sending tanks to Hungary in the 50s.

Stalin was dead by then!

For God sake, could people learn about things before giving their takes?

Yes, which might be the give away that it’s a strawman, and nobody actually believes in that or wants that.

And because democrats couldn’t get the votes by not being perfect

blueMAGA genocide deniers are as loathsome as their red counter parts.

Another good reminder that “tankie” just means anyone to the left of Nancy Pelosi.

Fucking two months in is too close to the election to criticize Democrats…

Liberals really are a parody of themselves

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

They actively flaunted his endorsement, and brought his daughter on stage. Cheney is a man at least as evil as Putin, and if Putin was American, the Democrats would have brought him on stage too.

Jesus, American Democrats really have just become Bush era Republicans.

The purpose of a system is what it does

Australian conservatives absolutely use that rhetoric to attack LGBTQ people, but you don’t know that because you don’t watch Australian news, even though you expect Australians to have watched American news.

I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US

American. Stereotype.
