A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Neither of those show the claimed genocide denial/support.
I was wrong, yes there is:
https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/socialism_faq.md#whats-going-on-with-the-uyghurs
It's the tankie "It's not a genocide, no I'm not denying that people are getting murdered I'm saying that they had it coming for reasons other than being of a particular group" kind of genocide denial-support.
About the only thing that makes tankies not technically fascist is that they come up with elaborate rationalisations of why everything they do serves the common good. They manage to rationalise any and all human rights abuses and atrocities as "necessary evil".
Once upon a time a German lyricist/composer wrote a song satirising that kind of attitude. The GDR's ruling party adopted is as their hymn, unironically. Do watch it it's glorious in its insanity.
