Hope you aren't a Uighur or a Tibetan.
Nah, but I'm visibly queer. And it hasn't been a problem
So you think 'Uighur' and 'Tibetan' are secret Lemmy code words for non-CisHet?
No, I just think that you think that anybody who isn't cishet han in China has it just as bad as anybody who isn't cishet white in America
When did I even imply that? What on Earth does being queer have to do with what I said?
Oh btw, just found this news on Xinjiang's "forced labor". It always goes the same:
Because the admission that they're wrong is always buried, people who still believe the lie are plentiful as fuck and finding the confession is a pain in the ass.
I personally know an Uyghur guy who can't get a job at any international companies because the international companies are afraid of the forced labor allegations
This is like saying "hope you're not a Jew" if you live in Nazi Germany and you telling me that you're a blacksmith so you're fine in Nazi Germany.
Believe it or not, being a blacksmith has nothing to do with being a Jew and being queer has nothing to do with being Tibetan.
Lmao so stupid. You believe there's a "genocide" because you saw a news article once. What was it's source? Another news article. Keep following to try to find the original source and the whole thing loops back on itself like a fucking Mobius strip. Any actual evidence? The birth rate is declining, just like it is everywhere else in the world because birth rate is inversely correlated with prosperity. Also some out of context footage with mistranslated subtitles.
Please quote me using the word genocide or explain why you want me to give a source for something I didn't say.
Or is this another irrelevancy to avoid addressing what I actually said like the whole queer thing?
lmao what a take
So I never actually did. Got it. Are you ever going to address anything I do say to you?
Not a single reply you have made to me has made a lick of sense. Including that one.
But you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren't a Uighur or a Tibetan considering how far you've gone to avoid even mentioning either of those two words as if they had never been written.
Once again, you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren’t a Uighur or a Tibetan.
Ok, let me fucking spell this out for you.
I talk about how much better life is in China than in the US
You mention those two races
I mention they don't apply to me and go back to talking about my personal experience in China, and how it is evidence that China isn't as bad as the west thinks
You fucking hyperfocus on minutea rather than what it's actually fucking like to live here.
Of course I'm agitated.
You never said they didn't apply to you. Not to me anyway.
bruh
Why on Earth do you think I would click on a YouTube link you sent me unsolicited?
Putting words in my mouth is not going to get me to watch your childish Rickroll or whatever it is.
Care to address the fact that you never told me those didn't apply to you?
I did, it was one of the first things I said, and you're a fucking liar and nobody should take anything you say seriously
Interesting how you've spent post after post putting words into my mouth and now you're calling me a liar.
Sorry, that still won't get me to click on your Rickroll.
Lying again
Are you really going to pretend you weren't putting words in my mouth just a few comments ago?
Are you going to claim this is a photoshop job?
