    1. I mean. According to who?
    2. So it sounds like they were being over policed and didn't really personally know the extent of it because they weren't deemed criminals and weren't directly affected?
    3. Okay cool.
    4. I got that figure from someone defending China over it iirc so I'm guessing it's accurate if you don't know offhand.
    5. Okay so they stopped it? Does that mean I'm supposed to go back to trusting the government? How do you square that?

    Additionally: if a significant portion of the population was imprisoned, especially systematically by race, held against their will, and people were dying as a result of that, I would say that is the beginnings of a genocide. Just like how America is currently perpetuating Black genocide imo. Even if they didn't fully commit or succeed, I can't just go back to trusting that system.

  • How can 3 be anything more than effectively being labor camps? Can you personally or do you know someone personally that attests to whether they had a choice? Whether there were protections in place? Whether these were all fairly deemed "criminals"? What were their crimes? I think I saw someone use the figure 1million? There's just no way that can be ethical, right?

  • Why don't you take this opportunity to post evidence of common misconceptions for other readers? /gen

    Maybe I'm coming around on China, it's the only one of those I would disagree with. So try to dispel some of my opinions on the Ugyhur situation. I got banned from .ml last night so I didn't get to finish my fun argument.

  • It's funny how I'm not even talking about Hamas, which I don't view as much of a state, and more of a militia operation? Ik they're technically the elected government but?

    I'm talking about large scale world governments specifically. I'm not condemning mostly powerless people struggling for their lives.

    Edit: Hamas isn't even on my mind because how much of a "power structure" are they? Not to sound insensitive but I assume their capabilities are extremely limited. Death to the IDF, death to nazis. :)

  • lol no you don't get it! You're just trying to distract from the atrocities of your country that I consider you to be complicit in! I'm not complicit in the atrocities of MY chosen state! lmfao

    Edit: death to the IDF, death to nazis. I wasn't referencing Hamas, they didn't even cross my mind in this context.

  • I don't agree with him but ultimately YDI. He didn't even ban you until you doubled down. Just go post in world lmfao. Or make your own sub. I think your post is fine. Maybe make use of the momentum of a ptb post to make your own comm? Otherwise this post is completely pointless. People have been railing against JordanLund's moderation since I joined like over a year ago.

    JordanLund is also a ptb. Both things can be true. Send the downvotes. Just stop whining and maybe do something productive like make your own comm, talkin' about some "i'm gonna escalate this to the admins🤓☝️" shit is incredibly embarrassing lmao.

    Edit: oh hey btw if any of the losers I was arguing with yesterday are wondering, I think I got banned for asserting there was a genocide in china, but idrk. Not terminally online enough to have alts to make my own comm and check stuff like that.

    But for the person who was defending the mistreatment of the Ughyurs as "terrible but not genocide" and is "more like what America does to its POC"... that's not a defense, and I'm willing to argue that we are indeed committing black genocide in America lmfao.

  • I can't imagine being in the anarchist comms and being upset that world admins won't do something about a community you can just not participate in. The whole point is making your own with blackjack and hookers. If everyone is so pissed about Jordan Lund then just make your own fucking comm so I don't have to see another ptb post about the same shit.

  • Hi, I just wanted to reiterate as an American that you are NOT your government. Fuck all the governments of the world. You're a person, and being loyal to people and not to states? That's a green flag. An indicator that you're a good person. :)

    I used reddit app so the api fiasco, while it bothered me on a fundamental level, did not directly affect me.

    Then I read some article about the potential for reddit to create paid subreddits or something?

    I don't remember exactly why paywalled subreddits bothered me so much, but it was enough for me to decide to leave.
