Genocide is when you have ~17,000 mosques, and the more mosques you have the more genocidal it is theory-gary

[-] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Nobody in the world other than libs and Adrian Zenz state there's a Uyghur genocide. Not a single country (least of all Muslim countries) and not even the UN.

Even Adrian Zenz never said it was a genocide, that was invented whole cloth by Reddit libs like yourself.

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Why are you bringing up some random German dude? No one cares.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Literally every single source of the Uyghur genocide goes back to a single study conducted by Adrian Zenz done on a sample size of 8 people from the same village "how many people do you know are in re-education camps", that % is extrapolated to the entire population of Xinjiang to get the estimates of incarceration, then it was published by Radio Free Asia. The millions of people in camps thing was different outlets reporting a singular article done by one guy named Adrian Zenz. Literally look at any article and look into it and they trace back to Radio Free Asia or Zenz.

You can actually go to the Wikipedia article you linked, go to sources, go to the sources' sources and it traces back to Adrian Zenz interviewing 8 people.

It’s crazy what watching Vaush does to people’s brains. Just completely transformed into mulch overnight

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I challenge you to follow the citations of literally any article about the supposed genocide. Please I beg of you. It will lead back to the heritage foundation, where zenz works, or a DC thinktank citing the same study.

"Bold statements for someone who didn't read a single linked source."

"Who is this Adrian Zenz guy that was cited by name in every single source I linked?"

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because literally all of these claims attribute him as their source.

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

"Why are you bringing up the guy I brought up as a source for my claims" lmao dumbass

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

You're breathtakingly illiterate.

[-] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

stop. read the sources you send before sending them. all of ur claims are backed by Adrian Zenz, a fascist propagandist who has been to China once 15 years ago and claims to know what is currently happening in China. once you read the links you sent, refer to our Posting Policy Bulletin for information on posting here

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Says the person who can't read their own sources.

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

You don't realize it, but this is one of the funniest comments I've ever seen online. Thank you for that.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

michael-laugh lmao this is great

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Most literate lemmee user

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

You could have just said "actually I have no idea what I'm talking about" instead of linking wikipedia

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago
[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Every single source you linked literally refers to Adrian Zenz as their source.

The guy who is a senior fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

The foundation that was authorised by the US Congress in 1993.

You're quoting news sources quoting a once-removed US government employee on their political and economic rival. This is why people are dunking on you.

Have you ever heard of Manufacturing Consent, btw?

Linking wikipedia just screams out that you don't actually examine your own sources of info that you already agree with. This is made obvious as shit by the fact that you linked 5 different sources that all go back to Zenz lmao

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In particular, forced abortions and sterilizations

Oh boy you should probably not look up what the US is doing in the concentration camps it keeps on its border then. Something we have real evidence of not made up nonsense lmao

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You linked to a Wikipedia page that displays a picture of people listening to a speech at a drug rehab facility claiming it is Uyghurs undergoing a genocide. This same page also references Adrian Zenz, who lies once in his original report where he says sterilizations are his biggest evidence of genocide and immediately proceeds to miscalculate the number of IUDs in Xinjiang as being 80% of IUDs in all of China, and then he lies a second time in a follow up where he replies to somebody pointing out his source doesn't support this claim by claiming he was actually calculating only new IUD insertions in Xinjiang being 80% of new IUD insertions in China, which is also false according to his own calculation and source.

https://i.imgur.com/Zsi11eh.jpg

Top: total number in China. Bottom: Xinjiang's number. That's 8.7% of IUD insertions. Not 80%.

[-] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Tbf 8.7% of IUD insertions would still have Xinjiang dramatically overestimated

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Just taking all this data at face value would lead us to believe that the CPC are genociding the region of Henan because ???Communism gives you genocide urges you have to act upon???

[-] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Was just pointing out that that was a point not made in your comment. Not everyone can read Chinese but anyone can look up the populations of China and Xinjiang and see that doesn't match up

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Not everyone can read Chinese

but enough about Zenz che-smile

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Based on percent of total population, Uyghurs are the second fastest growing ethnic group in all of China. Who are they second to? Tibetans.

If you think China is doing genocide via birth control, remind me not to get birth control from China

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Just giant funnels instead of condoms

[-] HighOnCopium@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I was reading this reply chain and was like, “Please don’t use Wikipedia as a source please don’t use Wikipedia as a source please don’t use Wikipedia as a source” and- farquaad-point

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago
[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Damn dude. 5 sources for your second claim but every single one of them references Adrian Zenz. So really it's only one source. One source that is already debunked.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wait, I'm supposed to actually read the sources I provide? I thought I could just copy and paste links I found on Wikipedia to automatically win the argument.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I can't believe my heckin' wholesome trustworthy BeeBeeCeerino would cite a report they didn't even read drafted by a fringe lunatic reactionary that can't even do basic 6th grade math wojak-nooo

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Bold statements for someone who didn't read a single linked source.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Dude come on, you're using documents you barely read or half remember to argue with people who casually and easily debunked the documents that hold up your entire worldview and we did it 2 or more years ago. You are in way over your head.

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

"Oh yeah, I totally debunked your sources two years ago. That's a real thing I really did, and you can take.my word for it because I'm from the internet, which makes everything I say trustworthy. You don't need any sort of cited source, my word is good enough."

Jackass.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Uh yeah I did, and I'm not the only one. I was permanently banned from Reddit for doing it lol. I realize you are probably inundated with replies dunking on you right now, but check my replies to your recent posts. I literally cited the document that disproves Zenz's own report that he himself cites.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I'm not the one using Wikipedia to back up my argument lmao.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

jesse-wtf Motherfucker did you just cite Adrian Zenz? lmao Jesus that's so on the nose
