If so, was it polled somewhere?

    The fact of the matter is that if a genocide was happening there would be evidence of it, but there isn’t. If anything on the order of what’s alleged in these sorts of threads were happening it wouldn’t even be possible to hide it. There would be tens of thousands of refugees flooding into neighboring countries at the very least. Instead, you can literally go walk around Xinjiang and see Uyghur people happily living their lives, or if you don’t want to do that you could watch any of hundreds of videos of other people doing that. Every Muslim majority country in the world sides with China on this issue, and only the US and it’s lackeys (countries famous for their deep concern about the rights of Muslims) are making hay about it.

        Western sources never make shit up. I heard that Iraqis are throwing babies out of incubators and hiding WMDs.

                I don’t immediately discard anything from western sources, but I do give them appropriate scrutiny, and I don’t take baseless allegations from them without the appropriate level of the verifiable evidence as gospel, especially when they have clear geopolitical motivations for their claims. They’ve lied far too many times to be extended the benefit of the doubt.

                  Fair enough. I hope you apply the same reasoning to other sources like Russian, North Korean, or Chinese sources?

                    Literally no one is quoting the DPRK as an authority on things other than the question of “what is the DPRK’s official line?” and mundane questions of policy and economic growth.

                    But Hexbear mostly deals with liberal rags, it just does so with some level of cynicism.

        I just flipped through all 60,000 of them real quick and I gotta say, looks fake and made up. Since it only took you seconds to decide that this was bulletproof evidence of genocide, it only took me a few seconds to determine its fake.
