LMFAO imagine defending actual torture camp your regime runs while bleating about see see pee. ๐คก
Not defending. Admitting that evil things have been done to 780 people while at Gitmo. It's a problem, and we're working to fix it.
But imagine being unable to admit there are millions of detainees in Xinjiang.
That's the difference between Western Democracy and an an authoritarian ethnostate. There's no way to fix something you won't admit exists.
LMFAO working to fix it. Sure buddy. Just like you're working to fix all your migrant concentration camps for kids you've got on the border. That's your western "democracy" in action. Concentration camps for kids. That's what you're all about.
Meanwhile, the claim that China is detaining millions of people in Xinjiang is so completely absurd that only an utter imbecile would believe it. Let's just look at how much space would you actually need to intern one million people.
This is a photo of Rikers Island, New York City's biggest prison. The actual size of a facility interning ten thousand people.
According to Wikipedia, "The average daily inmate population on the island is about 10,000, although it can hold a maximum of 15,000." Let's assume this is a Xinjiang detention camp, holding ten to fifteen thousand people. How many of these would it take to hold one million people?
Let's do some math:
In reality, one million people would probably take more space; all the supposed detention camps we see are much less dense than Rikers.
For comparison, San Francisco is 47 square miles. Amsterdam is 64 square miles. You'd literally need detention camps that total the size of San Francisco or Amsterdam to intern one million Uyghurs. It'd be like looking at a map of California. There's Los Angeles. There's San Diego. And look, there's San Francisco Concentration City with its one million Uyghurs.
Literally visible to the naked eye from space.
The fact that you actually believed this bit of propaganda shows just how incredibly credulous you are. ๐
Yes. They are.
Welcome to the wide world of OSINT ๐
So what's the score? I haven't been keeping track. Is the home team winning?
I see reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suites. Keep rereading what I wrote until you comprehend the size these supposed camps would have to be. I love how you just keep embarrassing yourself here without even realizing it. Zero self awareness.
I also love how you think that any building shot from satellite must be a detention facility. Maybe send me a dm sometime, cause I have a nice bridge I could sell you.
It's hard realizing that it's a messy world full of people who do bad things to each other for stupid reasons. Just remember:
Roses are red.
The sky is blue.
Single-party authoritarian ethnostates leverage the absence of a free press to hide mass atrocities against ethnic minorities.
Acceptance is the first step to letting go of copium.
Really should take your own advice here, cause you're drowning in copium bud. Once you accept that you live in a despotic regime that's a danger to the whole world maybe you can start doing something about it.
