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?

I've spoken to Uyghurs before, the only people I ever see who deny it are tankie fucks?

You can't just make shit up when I'm literally right here.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

Dude I posted a video I took in Urumqi 2 weeks ago, I can post more if you like. I have evidence.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can post all the 'proof' you want, coming from one of you it means jack shit.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So anyone who comes here and sees they've been lied to can’t be listened to?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Of course people can go there and be sources, the problem here is you. You being a tankie are so ideologically driven to lies and mistruths that you are not a trustworthy source.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But if someone comes here and doesn't parrot whatever lies you've been told, you'd write them off as a genocide-defending tankie.

Mate, I can see your post history, you are literally a Tankie

See that? That's why it doesn't apply to everyone.

Is this your entire attack pattern? I'm so bored going around in circles with you lot.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

I mean you can also find random youtubers and other folk who came here. But I'm sure you'd dismiss anyone who doesn't tell you what you already believe as a tankie.

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
