The real dunks are in the comments, the OP is good: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/vl1m17/remember_china_has_abortions

Using "Karen" is somewhat dunkworthy though

For extra giggles, the post immediately below this one is a mod post clarifying that they are very definitely a socialist subreddit and not just a bunch of :LIB:s

        I figured their attention span was too short to care before moving onto another manufactured story. But then I forgot Tibet still gets brought up from time to time.

        Yup, no major retractions from any of the propaganda outlets and it's already in their head to terminate any possibility of thought

      sunk cost doesn’t apply for government ops with limitless budgets

      The average westerner does not know that the term genocide has a strict legal definition that requires a high standard of proof with clear intent for physical destruction of an ethnic, racial, national, or religious group. This means that you can have horrific atrocities, cultural destruction, and crimes against humanity, while still falling short of genocide due to the lack of sufficient evidence for genocidal intent. This is the reason why even historically pro-western anticommunist organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International can credulously cite even dubious right-wing western atrocity propagandists like Zenz and Radio Free Asia, yet still do not declare genocide and opt for declaring crimes against humanity instead. Even the US State Department’s own lawyers determined that they did not have sufficient credible evidence for genocidal intent, but that did not stop Trump’s far-right neoconservative secretary of state from declaring genocide anyway. Articles in mainstream liberal outlets also argued against calling the repression in Xinjiang a genocide as well, although they still do criticize China for human rights abuse (as they should as the Xinjiang government has been conducting a counter-terrorism/anti-separatism campaign with overzealous enforcement, overly vague "anti-extremism" laws, and very little regard for due process):
