    I’m in Xinjiang right now. If there was a genocide, do you think anybody could just come here and hang out with the people theyre genociding?

    Unrelated, it was a wet cold earlier this month, now it’s a nice, dry cold.

      What a stupid fucking comment to make? That’s like me saying there was no genocide of the Aboriginal peoples in Australia because you could go hang out with them? Ya fucking moron.

        When you go hang out with them, and talk about how things changed over the last 20 years, do you think they’d maybe mention it?

              Mate, I can see your post history, you are literally a Tankie. You are as reliable a source as a MAGAT is on Trump you genocidal simping authoritarian fuck.

          Do I think people who are oppressed for their beliefs in a country that heavily regulates what you say and also possibly killed/imprisoned their ancestors/relatives and for certain has killed, imprisoned, tortured other people who drew attention to the bad things that government has done would tell a complete stranger bad things that the government has done or is doing to them?

          No, not really.

            Weird, so you think China is literally 1984.

            Amazing how these people manage to keep up the charade even after you make friends, drink together, go skiing/hiking, etc.

            There’s Uihgurs in Kazakstan too, I haven’t been there yet. Do you think they’re all pretending that China isn’t committing a genocide too?

              No not at all, Big Brother is much more capable than the PRC. That’s why there are whistleblowers and journalists and refugees etc. from the places controlled by the PRC whereas INGSOC would have been able to disappear them all without a trace lol

              Also I’ve spent a significant portion of my life in a very strict religious culture. You’d be surprised how many people will keep their mouths shut and “keep up the charade” and be happy, staying silent about everything from personal beliefs to full on abuse. And that’s just because they’d face some ostracism from the people around them if they spoke up.

              I’d imagine the threat of imprisonment or death or harm to their families etc. would make people hide that kind of shit even more

      I respect this attempt to reach this guy, but it’s obvious if he gets any kind of contactory information to “the narrative”, he’s just going to shriek “tankie” and close his ears.

      But it was nice seeing it regardless, Thank you.
