    Elsewhere in this thread you said: [Uyghurs] don’t want to be part of china. What’s your basis for that assertion? That’s all I’m asking for.

    they gotta round them up and throw them into camps to make them more chinese

        adrian zenz is unreliable because he doesn't speak chinese and claims shit like millions are being forced to pick cotton based on "data analysis"

        that the chinese government is mass-interning uighurs is not up for debate. I mean, OP is an official tweet bragging about re-educating them.

            I'm saying "vocational training" is a thought-terminating euphemism and there is a lot more going on, much of which you might not agree with. Your arguments are only valid if you believe the chinese government 100%, which I don't, and I think anyone would be stupid to.

                it's like saying "I need a specific accusation of how DHS is mistreating the kids in cages". You don't throw thousands of people in camps for job training. So how about this:

                nobody in there had a choice.

                  You do actually need specific accusations if you mean things other than like being put in a place where your movement is restricted is unpleasant, if there is "a lot more going on" you need specific claims of what more is going on because otherwise you dont have anything to back up your argument with.

                    I'm sorry but after someone said "East Turkmenistan" I'm done with this thread. I don't think anybody here has the slightest idea what they're talking about.

                    East Turkmenistan

                    lol goddamn nobody here has any idea what they're talking about do they?

                    absolutely nowhere in this thread did I say East Turkmenistan, East Turkestan or Uighurstan should be autonomous. I didn't give any suggestions at all. I just said it's fucked up and supporting China in this endeavor is not very leftist.
