Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I "wonder" whom they got cultural-genocide-methods from..
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hopi+prisoners+in+alcatraz&t=fpas&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
( Hopi men in Alcatraz prison, because they wouldn't sign their agreement with their children being taken from them, at gunpoint, to be enforced into the residential-"school" institutions ).
Back in the Nuremberg trials, we had the absolute-gall to maintain that MoralLaw, aka NaturalLaw, aka RuleOfJustLaw, "outranks" RuleOfLegalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
Where, in our genociding of Indigenous Peoples & their culture, both before & after, did we demonstrate that principle??
Oh, we "have the right to be 2-faced" .. ??
Anybody who's tried reading Wehle's book "How to Think like a Lawyer, and Why", knows that legalism is the whole of the law, & RuleOfJustLaw/MoralLaw/NaturalLaw .. hasn't got any power to outrank precident.
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/how-to-think-like-a-lawyer-and-why
( the SCOTUS gutting of the US's Voting Rights Act stands on legalism, e.g. )
Yes, it is true that I already-know that CCP gaslights about holding to international-law.
My point is that our world holds to "rule of law", NOT to Rule of Law, & that our pretending otherwise is itself gaslighting.
Yes, Jim Crow 2.0 is being enforced in the US, now.
Yes, ICE is embodying the SAME "principles" in the US that the IDF is embodying in Gaza
( this short, and difficult-to-watch, video explains that .. while showing us the murders of ICE, & their other IDF-clone behaviors, .. while showing us the IDF's original-renditions. Please have the guts to see it with your own eyes: it changes one to see & understand, accurately.. https://youtu.be/qhZBVLQK9MU )
& yes, this supremacism/genociding principle is enacting in Europe ( ask the Ukranians' stolen children about it ), in Asia ( see the article linked in the OP ), in the Middle-East ( Netanyahu's "Israel" .. I discovered yesterday that the real LivingSpirit-loyal Jews are calling Netanyahu "Amalek", which is the embodyer-of-anti-Judaism/"Jewish"-evil ) & in the Americas.
This is part of a global paradigm, not something local to 1 of the 4 world-pushing "poles" of Earth!
It's the principle/paradigm that needs opposing, not letting the framing be made "only-local", because so long as we remain blindfolded against the globalness-of-the-paradigm, then we remain as ineffective as they want us to be!

A) cultural genocide has been a thing, in lots of places, for millenia. As one of the oldest civilisations, China has plenty of examples in its history, no need to rely on Americans for inspiration.
B) countries shouldn't get a turn or an hall pass at crimes against humanity because other countries did or are doing the same.
^Modern whataboutism propaganda will exhaust you by the end so you forget entirely that this thread is about China's human rights abuses.
Literally every time on Lemmy someone says something bad about country X, there spawns a dude who starts writing "but US"
At this point I can't tell if this is deliberate propaganda, the same tactic used by the soviets. In any case, I've noticed also that people are now growing tired of whataboutism, and your comment pisses me off too. One country being bad is not an excuse for others to do bad.
