Comment on How the "Kill Line" Redefined the American Dream in China

  Ummmm…… Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group, historically rooted in what is now the Xinjiang region of China. They are not specifically a religion.

  So, same question again?

    They aren’t specifically an ethno religious group, but the vast majority of them is sunni. So again: why would i heart them? I despise religion, and Islam most of them all.

    For those not in a cult I feel sorry. Same as I do for every worker in China or the Tibetans. Or the debt-crushed muricans. Or whomever is oppressed in whichever way in whatever country.

    Also, never said China is perfect or anything. If forced to choose China or USA at gunpoint I’d pick China. I know more about the USA than I do about China, so I’d pick the lesser known evil.

      So you despise an ethnic group based on them largely being a specific religion? You are okay with genocide based on religious views?

      Yikes.

      And by lesser known, you know they lock shit down… you you’re literally saying they’re a gamble.

        I despise religious people. Simple as that. What happens to them isn’t my concern and I couldn’t care less. That’s what their god is for.

        And I still don’t get your point. I know in very many ways how the USA sucks bigtime and I know a bunch of what is wrong in China. Hence I’d pick the lesser known evil which MIGHT be even the worse evil, but I don’t know that yet. Hence my life or death, A or B choice. Not on preference. What do you do? Choose the USA? If you’re loaded, religious (enough to pretend tho) and hate the poor, then it’s probably a great place to be. But so is every other country too then. China included.
