I imagine there's no uyghers left now, given how many people were saying it was the next holocaust. Or perhaps libs believe they stopped this holocaust by complaining about it loudly on twitter. idk
Xinnie the Pooh ate all the Uyghur babies smh
Stalin with his giant spoon and now this
When you become a communist leader, one feature of your character gets comically oversized.
Wait, shit, my nose is huge, TIME TO LEAD THE VANGUARD!
the season wrap-up for that arc was a year ago. once this season is over, im thinking the showrunners are gonna start an arc that incorporates the villains from all the past arcs in an attempt to provide closure
it's literally just a thing to stop anyone from saying anything positive about china
Smart move on the state dept's part, considering accusing someone of being a "genocide denier" is about the most heinous thing you can call someone casually
Unless it's a genocide that's fashionable or reached an arbitrary statute of limitation
"Uhhh sorry but everyone who did the genocide already died so we have no choice but to let their descendents reap the benefits of said genocide in perpetuity with no recompense to the descendants of the victims. Those are the rules."
'See, that's the great thing about democracies, they can change. Not like China.' (Bad take from bad website)

This kind of “crab mentality” is actually a sophisticated coping mechanism suitable for an environment in which no other course of action seems viable. Cognitive dissonance, the kind that eventually spurs one into becoming intolerant of the status quo and into action, is initially unpleasant and scary for everybody. In this way, we can begin to understand the benefit that “victims” of propaganda derive from carelessly “spreading awareness.” Their efforts feed an ambient propaganda haze of controversy and scandal and wariness that suffocates any painful optimism (or jealousy) and ensuing sense of duty one might otherwise feel from a casual glance at the amazing things happening elsewhere. People aren’t “falling” for atrocity propaganda; they’re eagerly seeking it out, like a soothing balm.
I'm going to read more theory tonight.
