its interesting too, he claims in this section that ‘No, the UN did not report China has ‘massive internment camps’ for Uighur Muslims.’ and then links to a grayzone article which I dont want to link, but Grayzone = Max Blumenthal. If you read the grayzone article, it claims the UN itself never reported on camps.

But here is the UN itself reporting on camps .

Among the recommendations that the UN rights office makes in the report, is for the Government to take “prompt steps” to release all individuals arbitrarily imprisoned in XUAR, whether in camps or any other detention centre.

I get the feeling people like this are willing to split hairs over the word ‘massive’ and ‘camp’ and claim the whole thing is false because of these 2 words, even if there are prisons for uighers.

To be clear, I WOULD AGREE with a lot of the devs posts about the USA. All of these empires commit crimes. I just don’t like people who get hung up on ‘capitalism’ OR ‘communism’ being the ‘true’ way, because to my mind both systems fail to decentralize power enough to prevent authoritarianism, and so both systems fail (it is my opinion that the current state of the world shows that mixed economies beat out both). But people in one belief camp or another will lie and minimize the crimes of their camp out of ideological belief in the concept, believing that selling the concept undoes any evil they do in lying about details.
