Lmao thanks for the heads up - what a pathetic dickhead

You mean the dude pointing out how there’s no first hand sources, the report is making use of unofficial translations and the report is in part based on observations made by the us army? Seems like a bit more than just “handwaving” eyewitness testimony to me.

Hey I’m glad to hear you point out the good faith stuff. I’m interacting with a few of your site buddies and I gotta say, there’s a whole lot of bad faith stuff going on, so I’m sorta defensive. I’ve provided sources a few times now and just get mocked or called a propagandist for it. Not your fault though, so it is unfair to direct the frustration at you.
I don’t expect you to read it all in one go - there’s a lot of stuff. We don’t have to continue the conversation right now, we can pick it up when you’re ready. I will say that I am not the one who gathered those sources, so beyond doing so e fact-checking and investigation on my own on these claims, I am not the most well-educated on the subject. We have a news mega, which is a great place for these exact discussions, which I would highly recommend. I can try to answer any questions you might have, though I think users like @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net or @robinn2@hexbear.net would be much better for any question that isn’t super basic. I’ll do my best though, and I’m certain there’s a lot I could learn. Again for any real in-depth discussion I’d recommend the news mega.

The website is a collection of sources with links gathered by a hexbear user because we got sick of having to do this song and dance every time. You can literally go interact with each link and each source individually - they all state where each claim comes from

Yet hexbear users are toxic

Talk about predictability, you guys are nothing but snide gotchas.
Here’s another bunch of sources, not that you’re able to read or understand them xinjiangahr.carrd.co

There it is, you failed to engage or respond or argue in any way. How are you this afraid of learning?
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:
Did you even look at the carrd? If you’re not gonna engage with the sources, then it’s pretty clear you’re not arguing in goog faith and there’s no reason for this discussion to continue

Are you this afraid of learning something? Coward

Go into the news mega and post your “analysis” we would love to see it

You mean all the people that weren’t classified as “white” as they suffered persecution by white people? Okay

Here’s a very approachable resource that debunks the claims of genocide in Xinjiang, using mainly western sources xinjiangahr.carrd.co

Yeah it seems like they can’t go two posts without some bigotry. It’s pretty disappointing and awful

Yo I just got your abbreviation! That’s pretty neat
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:
Both organisations have acknowledged that there is at the worst a cultural genocide going on - ie. An erasure of culture.
One can wonder how such a genocide is carried out, when the Uyghur language is still taught, Uyghur culture and language is still freely distributed and promoted and Uyghur people are a prominent part of the Chinese popular culture.
Your claim leads me to believe you did not engage with the sources provided to you. - Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:

While I think nay accusation of genocide should be taken seriously and investigated, I do not think we should accept these claims without basis, and we have to accept that despite several years of allegations, no proof has been provided. Both the US state department and the CIA have had to acknowledge that there is no genocide going on in Xinjiang. Here’s a carrd with mainly Western sources debunking the claims of genocide xinjiangahr.carrd.co

Sick comeback

Which genocide?

Tibet was a theocratic slave state before being liberated.
Neither the UN, the EUs member nations, the US or Taiwan thinks Taiwan is a country. - Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:

hey ditto! i have very little patience for the worst among you, because when i look through comment sections looking for discourse i instead see you fuckers starting the same 5 arguments.
If this is how you initiate discussion - with hostility - then that experience does not surprise me. Consider being less shitty yourself.
also, coincidentally, i see a lot of folks from marginalized groups specifically complaining about y’all being insensitive and shitty. it’s hard to respect what you say your motives are when your camp is acting like it is.
I find that very hard to believe. The websites modteam is majority LGBTQ+ we have a diverse group of users, and this is because the mod team takes bigotry very seriously. If you see any bigoted takes please report them, and also please give me some examples of this from hexbear users.

I see a lot of hexbear users be provocative, but I’ve yet to see it without reason. It’s in response to someone else acting in bad faith. When you see someone act rude, take a step back and consider why they are acting rude.
Not to say we don’t have users that are too quick on the draw of the ppb, but your website certainly has cantankerous assholes as well. Every site has. - Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 1 year ago:
Yes, otherwise they would not have asked it. We all learn something new everyday, and what’s old for you is novel for others

Thanks for engaging in gold faith!

It’s technically a leftist website, but only due to me: The One True Leftist. The resot of them are libs

Wow what’s up with this immediate hostility? The other user was being completely civil.
