In all of history, the use of "re-education" has always turned out to be ethnic/cultural genocide.
I went to college with an old coal miner who was going to my school for free on a re-education bill after the coal mine he worked at was shut down. I think you just only hear about the creepy “re-education” in the media.
That's occupational re-education. That is a similar term but not what we're talking about here. The re-education in question is when colonizers invade a land, kill off natives, steal their children, and send those children to the invader's schools to be force-fit into their culture.

Right, and it's immensely preferable to mass rape, pillage, and murder, which is what the west has done for its entire history, including to this day.
No it's not. It's not preferable at all, and neither are the other things. I'm against all of it. Your whataboutism means nothing to me.
Great?
