I mean, I do agree that what Israel is currently doing is worse than what China is doing, but being less violent than an active war zone doesn't really mean much when you're both committing genocide. Absolutely unhinged opinion
As a largely unengaged Lemmy lurker, y'all need to take a chill pill, this feels like an excerpt of the red scare. Picking a fight with the anarchist techies because one dude has an opinion that's not even unhinged, about something that most of us here cant even talk about with any certainty.....come on.
This whole thing is actually overblown and misrepresented.
- Picking a fight with the anarchist techies because one dude has an opinion
  The 'one dude' is an admin.
  that’s not even unhinged,
  ... downplaying the Uyghur genocide isn't unhinged?
  
  The ‘one dude’ is an admin.
  Of a lemmy server, there's no requirements to spin up an instance. Admin just means "person with the time."
  downplaying the Uyghur genocide isn’t unhinged
  Comparing the cultural erasure/washing happening in Xianjing to what's happening in Palestine is a tad disingenuous at best.
Why make two threads? Both are missing most of the convo. I don't think what he is saying is right but he does clarify his position right after.
- off-topic shill post:
  if you're using piefed, you can see all conversation across fedi for any crosspost, and comment on any of the individual posts from the same page.
- Why make two threads?
  Because each time something new and horrific was said? The two threads weren't made at the same time, and I wasn't aware that Unruffled was going to skip from 'defending Uyghur genocide denial' to 'being an Uyghur genocide denier' when I made the first one.
  I don’t think what he is saying is right but he does clarify his position right after.
  By 'clarify' you mean 'directly contradict'?
  If someone dismisses genocide, then, after being called out on it, half-assedly walks it back, which is the sincere position?
  
  Fair enough but personally, I do think you should let things settle a bit before making threads on them. When I commented, I was under the impression you reposted because the other one got downvoted.
  I agree on your impression of the whole of it though. Not sure why he had to put quotes around the word genocide for instance.
predictable tankie behavior
- it should be noted that the above account is an IDF propaganda account, so they absolutely do not consider the genocide in Gaza to be a genocide.
  
  i will eat your note
Illogical arguments that assume that there's some collective Western authority I.e. propaganda ministry that is at play here. Many individual journalists and historians have studied this topic. There's nothing to deny here, even credible sources have confirmed that China accepts the existence of education camps.
...yeah. I blocked that whole instance a week or two ago. c/Piracy just isn't worth it. Also, never liked that Unruffled person all that much, and I really don't like them after this ""It's only genocide if I can blame the US - otherwise it's just 'Sparkling Crimes Against Humanity'" 🙄
- you didn't block that instance a couple weeks ago, because I banned you a few days ago for doing nothing but downvoting every single post in !libjerk@lemmy.dbzer0.com without ever commenting.
  
  That's a bannable offense?
Proudly got banned from this professional clowns (OP, not OOP) com LOL
- Yes, you quite proudly simped for Russian imperialism and claimed that Ukraine wasn't a 'real' country. I wouldn't be suprised if you were a supporter of Uyghur genocide and the Holodomor as well. Fuck off, fascist.
@irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com
- Why do you guys keep pinging me?
  
  This is the only time I've pinged you to my knowledge. I pinged you because, to my memory, you were anti-Uyghur genocide, and showed up in that thread.
