True, but the Chinese concentration camp system is separate from the prison system.

Oh well, in that case it's okay for the US to run prison camps.

If by that you mean private contracted ones, I agree. If you mean Federal, then if I had to go away, I'd rather there than supermax.

nearly all the evidence about uyghur genocide comes purely from accounts of people abroadchina had a large semi nomadic muslim population that refused to send their children to school, learn chinese, nor participate in chinese societymany would literally send their children to madrassas in afghanistan rather than enter them in the local school systemthis flew under the radar fo

In fairness what other accounts would do? I mean the Chinese are hardly going to admit to it, are they? Not saying there's no context or nuance but two things can be true at once, in the sense that China has suffered Islamic terrorism, some perpetrated by Uyghurs, but at the very least are engaging in persecution and gross human rights violations in combating it.


by rickroll


does it suck to be a uyghur now - absolutely

has china stamped out terrorism - absolutely

is there a genocide transpiring - very unlikely

Fair enough. The whole "genocide" label has been completely overblown to the point of being meaningless. I tend to think China is handling the situation well. The irony of my post is if Hasan, and other western leftists, actually understood anything about China/CCP I doubt he would support it like he does. Most of his support seems to stem from his own ignorance and projections.

If the western world is to survive I do think we need to take some lessons from places like Saudi Arabia, China and Singapore how to handle violent religious extremism. Although I am not hopeful we will. Short of a Spain 1492 type event I suspect it is already too late for much of Europe.


I wish the "piggy" reporter had clapped back at Trump. Something tells me he isn't called a fat tub of pink slime to his face very often

A simple "**** you too you fat ****" would have done wonders


by rickroll

this could of been a moment to show hard evidence of said genocide - instead you make laughably stupid comments

and... you will never be able to find a single instance of me praising trump

Well, you made the claim that there is no genocide happening, so of course it's on you to back it up. But like the cute little Maga puppet that you are you chose the "easy" way: Reverse the burden of proof and feel like a winner.

So sad.

by rickroll

you're such a pathetic loser, have no idea why the mods allow this alt of yours to exist

Another claim that you surely can back up with evidence, I suppose.

Just kidding, you can't and like all the other Maga losers you seem unable to understand that someone can be a lurker for several years to then decide to make an account. But oh well, it's probably not your fault but the fault of genetics. Did any of your relatives finish any school?


This Bob guy is on a mission to prove that bad posting is not exclusive to any particular range on the political spectrum.


Please Sir, elaborate!

I can't imagine that any elaboration is necessary.


So you call me a bad poster but can't explain why? Guess this forum has a pretty low bar to get a green name lmao.

You never post anything of substance. You are seemingly here only to insult people. That's pretty much the beginning and end of it. But like I said, no one actually needed me to explain the obvious.

I guess you have already contacted the whole world's journalists with this insight? Ah well, of course you haven't, because you're just another Maga nut...

Today I posted the above. Yes there is an insult (or truth as I call it) but before that, there is a genuine question.

It's not my fault that you are unable to read two sentences. Are you certain that you should have a green name?

Edit: If you did your job, there wouldn't be anyone here for me to insult. I am sure you did not notice with your limited observation skills, but I only insult fascist dumbos...

I am not a mod of this forum.

If that's your idea of a substantive post, then I guess the point is proven.

Do you think you're a good poster? Just curious.

In my opinion, Bob is SRM without brains.

Although tbh I did 'Like' a post he made in RGT a couple days ago.

Makes sense I suppose that trolls would be fond of other trolls. Do you also think that SRM and LOL are among the better posters here?

Among the trolls, I personally think you're the only one here that is +EV.

it boggles my mind that you not only show kindness to but regularly compliment people who've never once granted you an iota of respect

it's honestly pretty disgusting

this is not turning the other cheek, it's pure sycophantry and it's really gross - feel like i need to sanitize my monitor each time i read one of your posts doing just this

I mean, there's a thread next door where Kelhus and friends are discussing how great the Chinese are at handling "the Muslim problem" via concentration camps. Which is to say, yeah, I think SRM's posting is generally above average, though that's not saying much. As always, it's curious to see what kinds of posts do and do not push people's buttons.

I guess this explains why he has been too busy to return to the Moderation thread to give us more insights on his theory about the supposedly naked paddleboarder.

I don't decide whether or not I like a given post or poster based upon how much (or how little) that poster respects me. Do you?

I give my honest opinion.

For example, the funniest standup comic to me that ever I saw was George Carlin. He also engaged in occasional blasphemy and other disgusting references, which I didn't find funny at all.

Most of his stuff I thought was brilliant.

Some of us are better at 'chewing the meat and spitting out the bones' better than others I suppose.

Not only was that not a genuine question, it wasn't even a question at all. Just putting a question mark at the end of a sentence doesn't make it a question?

They always test the field before acting .
if employment gets worst, it will happen.

It’s great because republicans when they lose in 2026 will blame democrats about the inflation it will create just before 2028 election .
They send check in early 2026, 18 month later inflation spike around autumn/winter 2027 .
Riding the « inflation horses created by democrats » for couple months in 2028 should do the job .

I'll take your word for it and there could be some gems out there, but would you say that there could be a teensy bit of partisan loyalty here considering you both seem to very similar and you appear to be the only one who is making this claim?
