Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

So you're acknowledging that the actions in China against Uighurs also amount to genocidal?

I also mentioned multiple times the genocide in the comment you’re quoting, and you’re choosing to overfocus on the single time I didn’t.

I'm glad we're in agreement. It seemed you were trying to make a different point.

Given the sheer volume and consistency of evidence from multiple independent sources, it is difficult to dispute the compelling case of widespread human rights violations.

No, reported violations of human rights during a reduced and specific timeframe in a counter- terrorist campaign accompanied by massive investment in economic development, dont amount to genocidal.

That is if you swallow CIA propaganda only

Calling the comprehensive evidence of human rights abuses against Uighurs 'CIA propaganda' dismisses the work of:

Independent UN investigators who found credible allegations of crimes against humanity.
Respected international human rights organizations that conduct meticulous, on-the-ground investigations and collect survivor testimonies.
Academic scholars who publish peer-reviewed research.
Journalists from around the world who have risked their safety to document these realities.

These are not government intelligence agencies. Their findings are based on a volume and consistency of evidence that stands up to scrutiny, regardless of how inconvenient it may be to label it as such. The narrative of 'economic development' doesn't negate systematic human rights abuses.

They don't have to be to show western anti-chinese bias.

Yes, I dismiss the Amnesty International research based on lies, a.k.a. "anonymous interviews". Yes, I dismiss western-based analysis of translations of compiled gigabytes of Chinese documents. Yes, I dismiss "scholar" work based on the west.

Would you trust a Chinese university's analysis of, say, democracy in the US? Would you trust a Chinese NGO in its analysis of the treatment of Ukrainians in the ongoing conflict?
