Your source is pro-russia, pro-china, and other authoritarian regimes.

So they're based? Good to know.

It's a well-sourced article, get over yourself

[โ€“] phillaholic@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They spin those facts in their own bias, in which is authoritarian bullshit.

Burden of proof is on your for that one, bud

Tangentially, "lying is authritarian" doesn't give me much hope for the rest of your critique you may offer.

Wikipedia isn't a valid source. Didn't your teachers tell you that in 9th grade?

[โ€“] phillaholic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wikipedia has citations on every one of those points.

[โ€“] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A combination of citations that are either useless for demonstrating anything (see reference 25) or hinge on the western pop-politics conspiracy that there is a genocide of the people of Xinjiang (21, 26, 30), looking in the intro.

I don't mean to tell you your job, but this seems awfully flippant for "combating authoritarianism" or whatever neoliberal bullshit you characterize yourself with.

I'm undeniably pro-gulag so thanks for letting me know this source is for me!
