Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?

You’re engaging in a comment thread I began lmao, and my attitude in asking you a very simple question in why didn’t he wait to perform this gesture when it would actually have an effect is enough to stop you engaging? really?

That’s the spirit that’ll beat trump, hopefully you’re rich and white enough that your complacency won’t affect you personally 🙄

Don’t deflect; instead of an ultimately performative action, why didn’t he do this when it could have done some actual good and possibly protected people by blocking one or more of trump’s policies?

I know that sincerely engaging with this question may be intellectually uncomfortable for you, but please at least attempt to critically revaluate your pre-conceived notions about the American political system and the goals of the DNC, establishment democrats and their megadonors

But there’s nothing tabled that he’s jamming up?

Why not wait to pull this stunt when trump is actually trying to push through one of his atrocious polices?

To me it seems like another ‘look we’re responding to your anger and calls to do something’ performative action that doesn’t actually do anything, that the democrats are so adroit at

Is it even filibustering if he’s not trying to stop any laws being passed?

It’s always the people who say ‘I’m a hardcore leftist’ or ‘I’m as left as they come’

Do you believe there has ever been a socialist state, even one?

" Also bro you sound like an 8th grader who thinks they’re the shit cause they watched a YouTube video about Mao. You talk all pseudo intellectual and try to use modifiers like “I concur” as if that strengthens your argument somehow. It doesn’t and it makes you sound dumb and like you have no ground to stand on.

Go touch some grass you loser "

You’re clearly intentionally misinterpreting me in bad faith

To the same point I’ve held throughout this entire conversation i.e that the actions of the Chinese government in the Xinjiang province do not constitute a genocide, I have literally used the definition you provided to illustrate how by that standard and using the evidence from the goverments accused themselves you can see how a real an active ongoing genocide such as the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza meets this definition, and that although the Chinese government has committed human right abuses in Xinjiang by the definition you provided they do not constitute a genocide

I agree with the UN when they concluded that there is no genocide in Xinjiang

From the UN definition you supplied, one of condition that needs to be met;

A mental element: the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

So lets compare the fabrication with a real genocide such as the ongoing one in Gaza, they’re are numerous statements from the Israeli government that declare such a genocidal intent, such as “Gazan civilians participated in the horrific events of October 7” “there are no innocent civilians there”

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” - Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant

And here’s a database of 500 statements of genocidal intent from Israeli government leaders

I’ll repeat I don’t deny that China has committed human rights abuses, but I concur with the UN OHCR that they fall far, far short of the definition legal and otherwise, of genocide

For this one condition to meet the definition, could you provide sources that show such a callous and widespread intent to wipe the Uyghurs off the face off the earth from the Chinese government similar to those from Israeli state for it’s current genocide of Palestinians in Gaza?

Please read the entire article and don’t just cheery pick the things that fit your pre-conceived notions

Stop moving the goalposts, my claim is that their is no genocide, the only source you quote alleges serious human rights violations, that while obviously terrible(and I condemn them, just as I condemn the US’s similar but greater and larger in scale abuses committed at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, CIA blacksites etc), are not synonymous with genocide

Which sources on that page present evidence of genocide? if any such source exists why didn’t you quote them?

You believe that china is engaging in a genocide first hand?(as opposed to simply supplying the perpetrators like the US )

And still hate the US more? do you live near a strong magnetic source? cause your moral compass is out of whack

Seriously though if you don’t have a inherent bias against China, then why do you think their engaging in a genocide of Uyghurs with no evidence?

well documented genocide.

source?

the UN, it addition to numerous countries including those with a Muslim majority population have investigated and concluded that the claims of genocide are a fabrication

The claims of genocide that appear in western media can be traced back to single source; Adrian Zenz a german christian fundamentalist who is on a self described ‘holy war to destroy China’ and writes books such has ‘Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation,’

Do you really believe this nutjob is a more reliable source on events in Xinjiang than the UN’s Office of Human Rights?

No one’s said there’s not problems and criticisms to be made, but there just isn’t a genocide no matter how much your narrative requires one
