It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

None of these should have a paywall except The Guardian which I was able to just "X" out of
Ok, I've read through everything you've sent me, and I gotta say, sorry mate but you haven't read any of this. I'm tired of reading articles with claims of genocide but no material evidence of absolutely anything post-2021. It's obvious to me that you're just googling for whatever articles with the headline you want, from 2022 onwards, to support your preconceived notion. I hope you will analyze your position, feel free to read all the articles you've sent me, and go through whichever sources they provide (when they do). I'll sum up what I've found
First link: reverse image search using "tineye" from the cover picture shows "Adobe stock picture, 2019". No mention of new information after 2021 in the whole article.
Second link: the gist of what it says (I'm not quoting literally) is "the ongoing genocide is when you forget about the genocide that did happen according to us". The article shows the WSJ 2019 article that proved reeducation centers were already closed by then. The only post-2021 claim it sources, is that "Uyghur textbooks have been forbidden". Source: Radio Free Asia, 2017. Feel free to look up what "Radio Free Asia" is if you don't know it.
Third link: quote "More than 100,000 Uyghurs are working under conditions that strongly suggest forced labor." Source: none. This claim is pre-covid as I remember (it mentions the cotton fields), never been substantiated. "In February 2024 the Chinese government further expanded regulations to restrict freedom of religion in the Uyghur Region, including through bolstering local surveillance powers and tightening control over religious education and places of worship." Again, unsourced information, just general claims about "tightening control" without any actual evidence. The same claim could be made, for example, about the Spanish government in Catalonia, and I guess nobody here claims genocide is happening there (I say this because I'm Spanish myself).
Fourth link, and I quote: "And now, finally, the United Nations has published a report. A report that says China’s policies “may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.” A report that adds nothing new to what we already knew about the crisis, that neglects to call the crisis what it is — genocide — ". No sources of any abuses post-2021 being used, and it quotes the UN report that clearly doesn't state the word "genocide".
Fifth link: no mention to any events post 2021. Few interviews of unsourced and outdated anecdotal claims.
Sorry, but I'm exhausted after this pointless exercise. I learnt nothing new, because there is nothing new. I hope you did learn something on the other hand: if I deny the Uyghur genocide, is because there's no substantial evidence to support it.
I did learn something. You have a movable goal post. On that note, I'm out. Peace be with you
See yourself out you complete idiot, abysmal L+ratioed
